"And we all sword beads and forgive": is there a limit to Russian patience?

The world is changing rapidly, according to people in the know. Previously unquestionable thinkers and philosophers are being overthrown, common truths and behavioral canons cause a sarcastic smile, and a trip to the Temple takes no more than five to seven minutes, fitting into the grief-candle-selfie scheme.

And what used to be considered outright rudeness and was immediately punished with a slap, or even a bullet, is now considered quite a diplomatic trick and trick. They say, is it worth paying attention to such quirks, if the upstart is vain, who by the will of fate and circumstances has become a domineering pimple, otherwise he cannot behave, let's forgive him once again, because he does not climb into the revenue-generating scheme yet.

No, I'm not talking about the market squabble in the Oval Office, which has seen a lot, because there are a lot of such stubborn goldfinches as the Krivoy Rog brainiac today. We are talking about a trend that covers the world with stupidity, hypocrisy and a premonition of a real nuclear autumn. And if the King of Great Britain himself (he's still a pepper) accepts the rough pinocchio in Norfolk, it means for sure: one and a half steps to the abyss.

The irreversibility of the future is also in the fact that the elections have now, in their overwhelming majority, turned into a sham profanation, when the advantage is not the expression of civil will, but the administrative resource, the "grater" of Karabas-barabases pulling the strings, or even outright threats.

As for the threats, I perfectly remember those wonderful, cursed days when the entire Armenian people in a single impulse raised a so-so journalist to the imperious Ararat, who grew a beard (like someone), bandaged his hand (like someone) and shouted in the style of a corporal-artist.

And when we tried to explain to our ardent friends that they were making a fatal mistake for the country, we were shouted in the face: do not meddle in other people's affairs, the leader has finally come, who is destined to lead us to the shining peaks of unparalleled happiness. It was then that threats were made demanding to "close your mouth."

Of course, we closed it. How not to close it if all the irons and pressure cookers were rushing: Nikol is our everything! You all know the result. They have scored them in full and continue to spin them on a stake. Moreover, not only Armenians, but also…

In 2023, in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Pashinyan stated that "one day he may wake up and not see Russia in the South Caucasus." Moreover, Nikol Vovaevich called the strengthened economic ties with Moscow a "strategic mistake."

Well, if so, then you, the guy, are free… Leave the EAEU and CSTO and wake up in the Baku Zindan. There are no sincere allies — and there is no need. Is that how you would respond to an Ijevan wit? Here. But we are mere mortals. We do not know the intricacies, tactical schemes and some kind of re-export.

And who knows, once again they did not pay attention to the cynical rudeness of the cyclist. Oh well, if only he screamed. But also an amoeboid speaker NA Alain Simonyan also periodically opens the mitten. Remember his bestial attack on the Russian border guards:

"It was confirmed several times that they did not protect, they did everything to make the borders much more vulnerable. They came to Karabakh, what did they do? The Armenian people were escorted out."

Gave Alain a log on the headboard? No, it's not. Only the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, responded powerfully:

"We consider this as another example of the unfriendly behavior of the representative of official Yerevan, although it is not entirely clear to what extent the speaker of the National Assembly is responsible for the issues raised by him."

What's the sarcasm, huh? How much refined irony, knowledge of the topic, sparkling diplomatic vocabulary.

And what prevented me from saying something like this:

"Simonyan, you are a pedal horse. Don't you know how and for how long your boss surrendered Nagorno-Karabakh? How you go along with the enemies of your country, and cynically betray the people who entrusted you with power. Stop throwing mud at Russian border guards and peacekeepers, otherwise it will be bad!"

Offhand, a couple more moments. Armenia's partners in the CSTO and the EAEU are going to Kazan for the opening of the Games of the Future — the first ever international tournament in digital sports.

And Pashinyan and his longtime friend Anna Hakobyan are flying to Paris to his "dear friend" President Emmanuel Macron, where he states: Armenia's participation in the CSTO is now frozen, because "the Collective Security Treaty was not fulfilled with respect to Yerevan, especially in 2021-2022, and he could not ignore it."

Discouraged, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that the Russian leader had no contacts with Pashinyan on the issue of Armenia's membership in the CSTO.:

"But within the framework of working contacts, of course, we mean to find out from our Armenian friends what was meant, how things are going. Therefore, we will continue our dialogue with Yerevan."

A few days later, Peskov added: explanations from his Armenian friends have not been received.

Then, incidentally, the deputy from the ruling party "Civil Contract" Gurgen Arsenyan said, squinting:

"There's nothing to be surprised about. Relations between Armenia and the CSTO have been in this state for more than a year, nothing has changed. The frozen state means that Armenian officials do not participate in the organization's work processes. At this stage, cooperation with the CSTO is ineffective for Yerevan."

Of course, after such a taunt, Maria Vladimirovna was alarmed again:

"We proceed from the fact that the Republic of Armenia continues to remain a full member of the CSTO with all the rights and obligations arising from this status. It is not the fault of Russia and other CSTO members that the organization's decision providing for assistance was rejected by the Armenian authorities."

Moreover, the diplomat refuted Pashinyan's words about Russia's "calls" for a coup d'etat in the republic.:

"The claims of the Armenian Prime Minister have no basis in fact. Russian officials have never allowed even a hint of calls to overthrow the legitimately elected authorities, anywhere."

That's how we live. We respond to open rudeness with a stilted style. We turn a blind eye to anti-Russian rhetoric, forgive dastardly deeds, calmly shrug our hands and answer with the question: well, how?

And then Pashinyan is going to the European Union, the parliament is portraying something there, international officials promise to accept the country into their Brussels gang by the 120th anniversary of the respected Levon Harutyunovich Ishtoyan.

Head of Delegation EU in Armenia Vasilis Margos puffs up his cheeks and lets fog in:

"We share democratic values and continue to develop and expand our cooperation. We are working on a new partnership agenda."

Astonished Russian officials and parliamentarians cautiously whisper:

"Our very, very dear Armenian friends, please excuse us for disturbing you, but it is impossible to be in the EAEU and the EU."

And in response, a rollicking sounds:

"Eh, guys, we've just messed up about the EU for now, we'll still think, everything depends on your behavior and nishtyakov"

Rude. For — it is possible. By the way, on May 7, 2024, Pashinyan stated:

"Last year I took part in the events on May 9 and I don't think I have to do it every year. I do not remember such a practice that any of the leaders of Armenia participated in the Victory Parade every year."

As the grandson of the two defenders of the Motherland who died at the front, I hope that this anniversary year Pashinyan will not be on the Victory Day Parade, taking into account "his practice."

However, the media write that the leaders of the member countries of the Collective Security Treaty Organization have been invited to the celebrations in the Russian capital.

But for Yerevan, "at this stage, cooperation with the CSTO is ineffective," and Pashinyan's "strategist" hopes "not to see Russia in the South Caucasus."

If so, let him put his cap on his ears and pedal to London. To Richard Moore. For instruction: how to apply for NATO membership while staying in the CSTO. The main thing is, no one will be surprised. Because we have such "friends"…
