That's a blatant misunderstanding of what makes our nation have a smarter foreign policy. Even without energy independence (which isn't 100%), we have been able to balance competing interests much better than Turkey.

Because invading and occupying recognized Armenian territory would completely screw us over in every way possible? I wonder why you think someone shouldn't say this.

Ugh...no, please no.

I'd rather we not get involved with Russia. I am also opposed to occupying Armenia but I do want them to stop claiming Karabakh. This woman has the same crying face whether it's abortion or Armenians.

I am tired of forum members here attacking each other over perceived "treachery" to their mother country. You speak of foreign forces attempting to weaken Turkey from within yet you appear to contribute quite heartily yourselves to that cause with such rhetoric. It's making this sub-forum a...

Noted, badly phrased on my behalf, thanks Nilgiri.

Prosecutors office already opened an inquiry into that video. She was a sniper, which is probably the shittiest job possible in the army if you are captured because you will get zero mercy as soldiers perceive you as a coward who kills without risking his/her life. At least in the former Soviet...

https://www.firstpost.com/world/will-welcome-indias-mediation-efforts-to-ease-tensions-with-armenia-azerbaijan-11262851.html India has decided to throw their hat in the ring as a potential mediator.

Turkey better be getting a hell of a discount on the price. Russia is at its weakest, you can literally bully them into pretty much anything now. "Alright Vladimir, we'll help you transit goods but this better be coming with an 80% discount on gas and free delivery or the deal's off."

I doubt America is going to help Armenia. I suspect they are trying to push Armenia to just provide the damn Zengezur corridor already instead of stalling because further conflict in the region is bad for American and EU interests.

Since the engine of Turkish cruise missiles is produced in France, Paris banned Ankara from selling them to Azerbaijan. According to Turkish sources, an agreement on the sale of SOM missiles to Azerbaijan was reached several years ago, but due to a ban imposed by France, the deal was never...

They are getting resupplied on the down-low. Also, I suspect this wasn't completely done with Pashinyan's approval, there appear to be two main factions in Armenia as of right now. If it weren't for their conflict with us, I suspect Armenia would be having a civil war right now.

Annihilating Armenian armed forces capabilities so they aren't able to launch any more operations. Small shootings here and there can be ignored but Armenian forces launched an actual attack on a border outpost via sabotage groups. This is why Azerbaijan's armed forces are exclusively targeting...

Yep. 8 of those were border patrol who basically never get sent anywhere serious so the only way they'd be dead right now is if they were attacked in our territory.

Russia never really had a good defensive army, there is a reason why their idea of defending the country is basically to put as much space between their major cities and an invader as possible. And sometimes burn those cities to the ground.

Initial rumors are that they tried sending saboteurs and used mortar/artillery attacks on our outposts in Karabakh and the north and this is the response. I personally have a very bad feeling that Russia might be trying to start something here. EDIT: Apparently saboteurs tried planting mines...

I sure hope not, our fight is for Karabakh. Armenians can have their territory, just keep your guns away from ours.

Energy prices went down because Trump decided (correctly) that the US has massive resource reserves itself that remain untapped so why be so heavily reliant on foreign dictatorships? Then Biden came in and put the kibosh on that and here we are.

Why do people think that mobilization will be a swift thing once Russia "officially" declares war? Especially with Russia's logistical incompetence, it will be a miracle if they can scrape together enough cannon fodder by the end of the year, much less arm them properly. Soldiers don't just...

Russian soldiers have literally stopped caring about the war and are using any excuse possible to drop their weapons and run for it.
