PUK. It's just another political party with a militia (many political parties in Iraq have their own militia). They did fight against ISIS afaik.

It's a pretty complex relationship. Iran backs Assad while Turkey backs FSA. Both are wary of Kurds. Turkey is downright paranoid while Iran is a little more reasonable. Hence, Turkey and Iran share intelligence with each other against Kurds. KRG in Iraq also helps both sides (Barzani, the...

Holy crap. If true, I'ma bust a nut right here right now. Nature of geopolitics brah. You can fully expect us to engage Armenia in some endeavors and try to screw them over in others. They can be partners in some sectors and sworn enemies in others. Such is diplomacy.

US would LOVE to use Armenia as a bargaining chip against the insolent Turkey but there's another angle everyone is ignoring here and a reason why Iran is willing to strike it's Shiite "brothers" in Azerbaijan for "Christian" Armenia. Northern Iran has a fairly large ethnic Azerbaijani...

Should be easy enough. Let Armenia advertise a little bit here, make Armenia free up visa requirements like Serbia but not the other way around etc etc. The better way would be to start focusing on other aspects though. Tying up with and training their military like we did with Afghan officers...

Saw some pretty nasty footage of Azerbaijani soldiers. Shame on me for thinking they were any different than the savages of ISIS. What good is modernization if you drop civility at the drop of a hat? This ain't it. Azerbaijan had Waffen SS volunteer units too. It's just cold blooded dhandha by...

Ummm... Hitler didn't start WW1 and I'm saying that much like how Germany got involved in the war and it got more and more nations involved from that point forward, similar could happen here. You can be sure that an assassination of Azerbaijani president by Iran would get Turkey involved and if...

Who would've guessed Austria going to war with a tiny little Serbia would trigger WW1? Lots of ways it could escalate beyond control. I mean, when Soleimani's death almost caused a full scale US Iran war which was prevented only by USA's restraint, there are more than one ways it could spiral...

One misfire away from WW3. Iranian brinkmanship knows no bounds.

Azeris know they won't have an easy war after Armenia has rearmed so they're trying their best to finish them off.

Russia had a tumbling economy and had winded down war efforts in Syria which is why Turkey was able to establish it's "safe zone" in north west Syrian areas and kick out Kurds and SAA and even start standardizing it's own currency there. This also meant Turkey wasn't particularly counting on a...

No, it wasn't. Much like Turkey jumped in Syria and Russia intervened, similar could've happened here. You do realize we kept intruding in their airspace with no loss for a long while and they were helpless (200 kms deep during the strikes) and couldn't do shit, not to mention them losing F16...

Ima take that as a compliment. :troll:

My guess was simple. The side with more money, men, tech, stocks, initiative and foreign backing wins. Admit it.... I was right.:fyeah:

Ima toot my own horn. Toot toot. :megusta: You guys were so confident, I began doubting myself for believing Azeris will win. So now I ask, seriously, why did you guys think Armenia would win?

I too, enjoy being right among such illustrious company. Bol na @Haldilal , plata o plomo?:truestory:

Pashniyan announcing Russian mediated ceasefire. This is why I voted for Azerbaijan as soon as this war started and Haldi made the poll (Oh, the reactions😂). You can only compensate so much with skill and will. Money, tech and foreign support matter a lot and Armenia was helpless here. Net...

Yep, definitely phosphorous. Doesn't Geneva convention mandate an intervention or something here?

Azerbaijanis trying to set fire on forests by using phosphorous munitions.

Video of a an Armenian soldier taking off the gear of an incapacitated Azerbaijani soldier as he looks on in horror. From my weak command over Russian, all I could decipher was 00.25 onwards- Eta nash (simla?) Suka. Eta nash Karabakhsky. Rough translation- This is our (land?), Bitch. This is...
