Fox news is actually fairly reliable in Turkey. Its one of the more liberal stations. I still don't watch that poo poo tho because the mothership is still evil incarnate. Which side is US Fox siding with here or are they even reporting? On one hand the MIC and neocons favor the Azeri's, on the other hand the Azeri are perfidious Shia attacking Christians.

Azerbaijan only has a total of about 600 tanks so if that were true they'd be suing for peace right now lol, losing over half of their armored forces in days would be an absolutely crushing defeat

Armenia looks like it's denying that a missile came "from the territory of Armenia," which means it still could have come from Nagorno-Karabakh.

Azerbaijani media has:

-Denied the presence of Syria mercenaries. (Which was false)
-Claimed their forces had found Arayik Harutyunyan, the President of the Artaskh Republic, wounded on the front-line (Which was false)
-Insisted today on RT that Stepanakert has not been bombed (Which was false)

I see no reason to trust these reports that Mingicevir or the outskirts of Baku itself have been attacked.

Both sides seem to be going hard on propaganda and wishful thinking. Are there any independent journalists who made it into the area worth following on twitter? All I can find are cheerleaders for one side or the other.

Azerbaijan has blocked all foreign reporters from entering the country with the exception of those from Turkey.

Reporters on the Armenian side of the frontline were in Stepanakert and have evacuated the city due to the current bombing.

WarGozno looks to still be near the front, but he posts in Russian and via Telegram. A lot of reports and statements seem to posted on Telegram instead of Twitter. Could simply be the more popular social app there.

So I guess the answer is no?

Derek Davisons probably had the best podcast on the region I've seen so far. Dolans is, unfortunately, one of his very few episodes with Bad Takes (the others are the one with the Igbo lady, and his opinions on Tutsi massacres of Hutus).

Also: I've cracked open my de Waal and I'm tracking down Bournoutian's stuff to make a big dumb effort post on DEMOGRAPHICS and HISTORY and GENOCIDE and THE PERFIDIOUS TSARS whose FAULT THIS ALL IS(But not in the way you think!)

Uh the Igbo lady just went on long diatribes about how people in the north of Nigeria are just lazy mooches who are poor because they're stupid (probably because of ISLAM), not like the genius entrepreneurial Igbo. The Tutsi militias were justified in massacring refugee camps in service of building a Glorious Tutsi Empire to challenge colonialism. Armenians have never, once, commit pogroms or ethnic cleansing on their Azeri neighbors. All claims to the contrary are made up bullshit. Dolans great but sometimes in cases of ethnic strife he Chooses A Side in a definitive way.
