The story comes from The Washington Post.
The Russia-Armenia alliance is threatening Turkey, a critical U.S. ally
The Feb. 21 front-page article “For Turkey, high stakes as troubles intensify” highlighted a critical development: The growing military alliance between Russia and Armenia is threatening Turkey, an indispensable U.S. ally and partner in the fight against the Islamic State.
The announcement that Russia is sending a new set of fighter jets and combat helicopters to an air base only 25 miles from the Turkish border is just the latest example of this alliance.
The two countries’ economic and military ties run deep, bolstered by economic and security agreements and two military bases — including one just outside the Armenian capital. Most significant, Armenia is the only country in the region that shares a border with Turkey and has Russian troops permanently stationed.
Although Armenia has welcomed thousands of Russian troops and advanced weaponry, these developments seemed to have escaped the notice of U.S. officials, who were settling in for the holidays while Russia and Armenia signed a sweeping air defense agreement two days before Christmas.
It’s time for Washington to assess who our real allies in the region are.

Wow. guess I was right. Anyone who hates Obama IS a racist, bigoted, black-hating scumbag loser. I mean they are supporting KKK loving Klansman Trump.
The problem is a half black President that found a way to get elected but not a way to bring enough other politicians to help him get things passed through Congress. This is about a black looking person that the majority of whites don't like for whatever reason and in 3 out of 4 election they defeated the Democrat for Congress and cause this last 6yrs a Do Nothing Congress. However it come down to knowing that whites on the other side were never going to vote with you for whatever the reason including the color of one's skin color just as 98% of black voted for the black guy in the race knowing whites were not going to vote with him. Effecting every part of black life and now the person white hate more than President Obama is Hillary Clinton and all this is just a matter of time until we have a civil war!
It took Bush eight years to destroy the U.S. economy. A shame that Obama was not able to turn the whole thing around in three. And the Republican effort to block his every move didn't help. Oh, and big government grew under Bush. It is actually smaller under Obama.
You don't just have to be racist to support Trump, you have to be really gullible. You're supporting a presidential candidate with no experience and no specific policy positions.
Just say "Niqqer"--we all know you want to.

Oh boy,
Look at the little tears for poor Barry Obama here.
You seem to forget that your Marxist kingpin, Obama, GOT EVERYTHING HE WANTED (well, perhaps except gun confiscation and a declaration of Islam as the national religion of America). He got:
* Obamacare
* The Stimulus
* Illegal Immigration Reform
* Tax Increases
* the destruction of the coal industry
* An alliance with ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood
* American oppression of Israel
* Limitations on the 1st Amendment
So show me exactly where the white hooded GOP EVER stopped Barry Obama from what he wanted.
Big government DID grow under Bush, as it grew under Clinton and grew under Reagan and grew under Carter and grew under Johnson and grew....You fail to point out that NO PRESIDENT has stopped the growth and none ever will.
As for Barack Obama, he's simply a 50 year old man with the emotional level of a 21 year old radical college Marxist. He never grew up. He doesn't play well with others because of his tantrums and the only people he's comfortable with are those in more personal misery than himself.
It's a shame that Allen West wasn't our first Black President - he could have shown Obama how its done.
