  1.  @milanvasarhelyi  Yes but it is internationally recognized sovereign territory of Azerbaijan. Just like Donbass is internationally recognized territory of Ukraine. The fact the Armenians illegally invaded this area and brutally ethnically cleansed 800,000 civilians doesn't change the fact the territory in a legal sense is Azeri territory.

  2.  @antideluvian9530  It doesn't mean they want interference in how their country is run though. I visited Mexico last year on vacation, does that mean I want the Mexican government to meddle in the internal affairs of my nation?

  3.  @scg4201  Great weather, low taxes and a low cost of living? Yes, imagine it. As 10s and thousands of people already are.

  4. I find it interesting how some media outlets simply don't mention this 800lbs elephant in the room which actually kick started this conflict.

  5. @Gsuzaman, When this war kick started in 2020 my fear was the Azeris were essentially going to do to the Armenians what the Armenians did to them in the 1990s. Oddly enough that didn't happen. They took control of the entire area in a huge military campaign and roughly 20 civilians died during the entire conflict. That isn't easy to accomplish in a warzone. So what ever terrible experience they had in the 1990s (Armenia brutally ethnically cleansing 800,000 of their civilians) thankfully the Azeris showed restraint and didn't do the same thing back.

  6. @Simondunkan6609 I'm not part of either side of this debate but to call this invasion "unprovoked" reminds me a lot of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction. A lie repeated over and over again so many times by the media that people simply start parroting it. Doesn't really matter how false it is right?

  8.  @zenzender3790  The way our foreign policy has been, it doesn't take much to get "on the wrong side of the west" these days. Even some western nations are growing tired of this.

  9. @David Dalby, stop being ridiculous.

  10. It doesn't mean anything, there is no "supposedly" when it comes to recognition of international borders in international law. It is their territory in a legal sense full stop.

  11.  @ernestlunaj8627  Not the 7 regions around it. It was home to more than 800,000 Azeri civilians who were brutally ethnically cleansed by the Armenian military.

  14.  @mkvhomes2048  Great news. What a terrible thing the people of that region have had to deal with, up and down the coast :O( I saw footage of villages outside of Marmaris, everything is destroyed, farmers have lost everything.

  15. This isn't a fight between leaders of two nations. This is a case of one people being put in an open air prison and eventually lashing out at being treated like animals.

  17.  @Zoogor95  At the end of the day there is no way an outside force will wield that much power in a nation unless that nation is corrupt to the bone. It's like these things happen in some countries because someone flips a switch. It is surreal. It shouldn't be this easy to convince people to act against their own nation's interest.

  18.  @thedstorm8922  They have a maritime dispute in areas which aren't heavily populated. That isn't nearly as dangerous as a territorial dispute like Armenia and Azerbaijan have in a once heavily populated area. I say "once heavily populated" as now most that land is empty after Armenia ethnically cleansed over 800,000 civilians in the 1990s from said territory.

  19. @theneverposts. I can't think of many wars where the people involved don't eventually regret doing it.

  22.  @WhiteDragon689  I would hope not, a nation which will use nukes will do so if they're desperate. The fact people are cheering on their desperation shows how detached our civilization has become from reality.

  23.  @WhiteDragon689  That's the entire point of nukes no? To make sure no one wins? Usually the losing side will be the one with nothing to lose who starts it. The fact this doesn't scare people again shows just how delusional our civilization has become. Completely detached from reality and the dangerous of the world. I guess it makes sense though, if we can believe men can get pregnant what can't we believe right? So we'll just merrily help a third country attack the home turf of a nation armed with nukes to the teeth and is threatening to use them. Nice...

  24.  @zenzender3790  Why Turkey was sanctioned and why India wasn't is a very complex issue. A Nato member buying the S-400 does more damage to America's prestige than India buying the S-400. With that said though Turkey wasn't really sanctioned for buying the S-400, that was the convenient excuse. Turkey and the United States have a plethora of strategic difference and Turkey simply refuses to give in. The United States tried to make an example out of Turkey so the rest of the nation's under it's umbrella would see the consequences of running an independent foreign policy. This plan backfired, Turkey still isn't backing down. Also Turkey buying the S-400 isn't as simple as America not selling the patriot. America was willing to sell the patriot but the Turks demanded the technology transfer which America was not willing to give. It's obvious Turkey isn't really interested in using the S-400 or the Patriot, they want to have it so they can learn how they work and build their own. They're already making strides in that area after getting the technology transfer from the S-400s, they will most likely have something as good if not better in the next 2 or 3 years. Turkey is seriously an interesting case of a nation simply refusing to take orders from anyone and that upsets the international balances. The Turks are playing a dangerous game, they're either going to be hurt really bad or come out of this as a massive regional power. It looks like they're going to pull it off.

  25. All this might be an irrelevant conversation as Finland might get vetoed from joining Nato and Sweden will be vetoed for sure.

  26. @Vladsaveluc2659. Armenia joining Nato is a pipe dream for a lot of reasons.

  27.  @sktt1488  Even if Turkey wasn't in Nato, there is no way Nato will be taking Armenia in. Just look at a map, we know what happened when they tried to Georgia in the mid 2000s. No one is going to risk WW3 to bring Armenia into Nato. It isn't like they bring any military value either. If Nato was willing to take the huge risk and taken in a nation from the Caucasus into Nato, it would make sense to go after the one with military capabilities like Azerbaijan. But again a nation in the Caucasus joining Nato is a pipedream.

  28.  @georgegazaryan7358  It makes sense for them to support Ukraine. Like them Ukraine has also had their internationally recognized borders invaded by a foreign power. But at least Ukraine doesn't have it as bad as Azerbaijan did as Russia isn't wholesale slaughtering civilians like the Armenians did when they ethnically cleansed 800,000 Azeri civilians in the 1990s.

  30.  @AvazBahromov  Interesting point. I'd love for an Armenian poster here to tell me how many Azeris live in Yerevan. Or even how many Azeris live in the areas which numbered over 800,000 in areas invaded and occupied by Armenia. The answer is probably zero. A group of the most prolific ethnic cleaners in the past 50 years on the planet complaining about ethnic cleansing lol

  32. @Tony Stark, excellent analysis. Without these three nations Nato would literally be a defense organization that can't defend itself. Oddly enough all three are not EU members.

  34. Poor Kazakhs, I'd imagine protestors burning down the entire country would be less damaging long term than having Russian troops occupying your nation. :O( Here is to 50 years of misery for the Kazakh people back under Russian influence.

  37. ​ @vinm300  That is all true. I'm not sure any of that will matter if they're fighting an army with purple haired gender studies students making decisions. A society which has completely emasculated all their men, a society that can't simply say a man is a man and a woman is a woman isn't going to do very well in conflict. Even against a weak Russia or a weak anyone. Sweden is a joke, they need nato now to feel safe. But they're probably going to get vetoed due to their insanity in other areas as well.

  38.  @0penminds  It barely has the logistics to move forces and fight a low tier third world country. Other than that, it doesn't have the ability to wage any sort of protracted conflict far from it's shores.

  39.  @benjones4365  There really was no conflict in that region until the Russians moved into it. But this specific conflict in question a lot of it is tied to the 1990s when Russia egged on Armenia to invade Azerbaijan. The fact they brutally ethnically cleansed 800,000 civilians after their invasion didn't help matters.

  44.  @whilecontroller  So let me try to understand your argument here. Because one group has some ancient claim on a piece of property it somehow gives them a right to invade another country's internationally recognized territory and ethnically cleanse 800,000 civilians? Is that your argument? If the world actually worked like this 80% of the world population would probably have to be slaughtered like cattle. Your argument is insanity.

  45.  @skp8748  The level of insanity of some of these fake news outlets is mindbloggling. They work so hard to paint false narratives. I thought it was our media here in America that refused to ever tell the truth. I guess I was wrong.

  46.  @gdnooby  To be fair the Armenian genocide happened more than 100 years ago. Armenia ethnically cleansing 800,000 Azeri civilians happened when I was in middle school. It's a bit more relevant.

  47. These were all hard for Armenia to do while it was illegally occupying 20% of another country's internationally recognized territory. Not to mention it would also be hard for many nations to ally with this because 800,000 civilians were brutally ethnically cleansed. A lot of nations don't want the political headache of backing such actions. What would they get in return?

  48. @David Getling, as of now it looks like they'll be Vetoed. That isn't a very warm welcome. Finland and more so Sweden have done a few things to really really piss off a member of Nato or two in the past. Now it seems they're going to pay a price they never thought you'd be paying

  49. It's not racist but it's certainly false. Mainstream media narratives, what could go wrong right? lol

  50.  @lostfox27  Actually it is. Millions and millions of people have been ethnically cleansed in the Caucasus due to Russia's insane drawing of their borders. The poor Azeris probably bore the brunt of this ethnic cleansing at the hands of Armenians a few times. Most of it due to Soviet border drawing.

  51. "The IDF says" I might have believed something that comes after a statement like that if it weren't for the 1000s of times they've been caught lying after this conflict broke out.

  52. Yup. Media pushing easily debunked false narratives again.

  53. @Rhodesians never die, That is interesting isn't it. Although I find it surreal that a nation can be so corrupt that a foreign power could easily start a political crisis so easily.

  54. It's interesting how Finland and Sweden joining Nato seems like a foregone conclusion if they apply. People forget the fact that every Nato member has a veto card on any new members joining the alliance. Can Finland and Sweden think of any Nato members it may have royally pissed off over the past few decades? Personally, I think the threat of a veto is real. I'm not sure they can get in unless some serious horse trading is involved.

  55. @ThebongReyes, Armenia didn't have a choice in picking their allies, Russia and Iran were the only two choices. One is obviously geography and two very few nations on the planet would have felt comfortable helping the side which illegally invaded their neighbor and ethnically cleansed 800,000 civilians. So Russia and Iran were their only two options in allies.
