## Pashinyan Walked Into the Kremlin With Three Traps. Putin Fell for All of Them.

Authored by shatterbelt.co

How did Pashinyan neutralize two opposition candidates, shop for nuclear plants, and repackage the US corridor as a gift for Russia?.

That is the number Vladimir Putin wanted the world to hear on April 1 when he sat across from Nikol Pashinyan in the Kremlin.

Putin said the word "tenfold" twice in his opening remarks, referring to Armenian exports to the Eurasian Economic Union.

Pashinyan arrived with at least three traps embedded in his prepared remarks.

Putin, who spent his opening monologue issuing barely veiled threats about EAEU membership, gas prices, and imprisoned "friends," walked into every one of them.

Pashinyan told him, to his face, that the constitution his proxies would need to win won't let them hold power.

And because Putin raised the topic first, the clip doesn't show Pashinyan attacking Russia's candidates. »
