uncop posted:ATGMs? Think just basic artillery and a bit of high-speed number-crunching. Yeah but you can't move artillery with two dudes and a donkey and get off multiple shots from different positions that wipe out fortified positions and armor from 8 kilometers away without ever being detected. As we are seeing in this thread, if the drones find your artillery then your artillery is all dead. Pryor on Fire has issued a correction as of 17:49 on Oct 1, 2020 |

Although I enjoy CaspianReport as a general geopolitics youtube feed, the host is Azeri, and some of the previous things posted in that channel regarding the conflict have been... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD0S2XLKIUM ...somewhat biased. This video exemplifies the source of the issue, that both countries have historical claims to the region going back hundreds of years. Both sides point at various moments in history as justification for these claims. For instance, he cites censuses from the 19th century conducted when there was a majority Azeri population there. And Armenians point back even further in time to the first millennium AD, when there was more Armenian influence. So, long story short, it’s complicated, and has been for a long time. Although, the one I just linked is from 9 years ago, and the video posted above this one from 4 years ago generally seems much more nuanced. twoday has issued a correction as of 01:10 on Oct 2, 2020 |

I don't put much stock in a BBC Persian report. Azerbaijan having a good relationship with Israel seems like it'll stop Iran from openly backing them. twoday posted:For a detailed look at some of the players involved, stare at this map for a while, my main question is what BCG vaccine do the countries involved use.

So, is there any interest in the actual region of being an independent state as a solution, as there is in Kashmir? Wondering how many cases of these disputed territorial conflicts could be resolved by splitting the difference and just letting the locals run things on their own in neutrality.

Yeah, but I'm wondering if they're independent now but seek future annexation into Armenia, sort of like Russia does with the self-declared Donbass republics or with regions like South Ossetia. Not exactly independent and neutral like in the case of a hypothetical truly independent Kashmir.

Man, I loving hate the 21st century, it’s going to absolutely suck big time. I think we’re actually going to see a return to nation-nation conflict now that the world is going multipolar and now that oil and gas pipelines are gonna be a big issue in the coming years.

I would say it is simply the inevitable result of the Pax Americana being unsustainable for more than a decade or two (if that) because...have you looked at the United States? Btw, the US has minimal pull in the conflict largely because the former US ambassador to Baku openly called for regime change in a few years back and permanently blew up US - Azerbaijani relations.

it is really loving funny that the US was the world superpower for only 30 years. Really world historic hubris for the end of history liberals to think this demented hosed up country could manage world affairs indefinitely into a future of dollar backed “free trade” at the point of a gun. infinite growth and triple cheeseburgers
