America troops in Armenia?

[Sean]

I was wondering, I saw a program on American bases or troops in the world, it didn't mention Armenia, but I wanted to know if anyone knew whether there are any American troops or bases in Armenia?

I know there's American troops or bases in something like 111 countries, and if you look at the map theey're present in Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iraq, Kuwair, Qatar, Bahrain, S. Arabia, Oman, UAE, ALL of the "istans" except Turkmenistan

So i'll be really actually surprised if there are none in Armenia....

Why would it surprise you? No, there is no American military base in Armenia. The reason why there is not one in Turkmenistan is because they declared themselves a "neutral" country.

There is a Russian military base in Gyumri, and I think one in Javakhk (if you consider Javakhk to be part of Hayastan).

Because Armenia is not a satellite state of USA, Armenia is the satellite state of Russia.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. The reason I said that was because now I guess other than Turkmenistan and Iran, there's no country in the entire region that doesnt have American troops or bases present.

It's good to know that there's no American bases, but having Russian bases instead doesnt make it better.

Why would you want anyone in Armenia? Thats a sign of backwardness when you can't be an independent country. Armenia needs independence, it needs to stand up for itself. No more foreign involvement I say. But at least its good theres no American troops.

Russian troops provide a security blanket against turds.

Because Armenia is not a satellite state of USA, Armenia is the satellite state of Russia.

With that thinking, it must mean that Turkey is a satellite of the USA.

Why is that a "sign of backwardness???" I'm really puzzled. Is Germany a "backward" country? Isn't Germany independent enough??? Is South Korea more "backward" than North Korea? I really don't see your point.
Can your statement be the reflection of a "backward" view - just joking - on alliances and cooperation?

I view it as a cost effective solution to National Security and, in this case, the convergence of both Armenian and Russian interests.
Also, is it fundamentally different from collaboration or foreign presence in other fields such as the energy, the economy, sciences etc.?

A powerful national army may mean a lot.If you had a more powerful army,your hopes of gainin so-called western Armenia would be less a pipe dream.
