      Iran has this kind of relationship with Russia as well, I don’t see how it helped them the tiniest bit. This also isn’t a West vs East things, Armenia also got fuck all despite being a CSTO member when Azerbaijan attacked them. Or remember Russia’s ally Syria?

      Russia is always posturing as that powerful force that could go to war against NATO, but they can’t even help their allies against a small country that gets propped up by a single NATO member.

      Every country can choose its own destiny of course, but if you think Russia will do more than send militia to oppress your population (like in Africa), you’re not paying attention.
