First they align with Azerbaijan, and now this? Screw them. What is about to happen to them is well deserved.

If I’m not mistaken, every Azeri plane shot down during the first Karabakh war was piloted by Ukrainian mercenaries. Now I get that these guys were just in it for the money, but Ukraine has formally aided Azerbaijan during the second Karabakh war. That means they are an enemy. And don’t ask me to cry any tears when the Russians kick the crap out of them any day now. Let Turkey and Azerbaijan come and bail them out since they allied themselves with them.

Hey, guess what, nobody owes (some due, but nothing will happen) Armenia anything, Ukraine is on a list of many countries looking out for its own interests. As Armenians, we can only control what we do to help ourselves and Armenia's interest, I'm tired of people expecting support to come from abroad. Even the genocide is a political tool in this day and age, the truth is nobody really gives a damn at a political and economic level about our history, or the threats we face. Enough of this pearl clutching "how dare they!".

Edit: also, both Russia and Ukraine have sizable Armenian minorities.
