The Armenian Defence Ministry said the purpose of the exercise was to prepare its forces to take part in international peacekeeping missions.

Armenia said on Wednesday it would host a joint military exercise with the United States next week, a development that Russia said was cause for concern.

The Armenian Defence Ministry said the purpose of the Sept. 11-20 “Eagle Partner 2023” exercise was to prepare its forces to take part in international peacekeeping missions.

A U.S. military spokesperson said 85 US soldiers and 175 Armenians would take part. He said the Americans - including members of the Kansas National Guard which has a 20-year-old training partnership with Armenia - would be armed with rifles and would not be using heavy weaponry.

    They mean well (in their crazy, stupid, fucked up way) but they actually have a much higher body count.

        Everybody “means well”, hitler thought he was reviving the German people from their humiliation at Versailles and that any price was reasonable.

        That and $2.50 will buy you a pack of gum.
