Armenian Forces Down More Drones, Aliyev Claims False Victory

IN THE DARKEST DAYS OF WWII, WHEN BRITAIN STOOD ALONE,CHURCHILL GAVE A ROUSING SPEECH WITH THESE WORDS:

“AS CONQUER WE MUST, AS CONQUER WE SHALL.”

“Behind us…..gather a group of shattered states and bludgeoned races……upon whom the long night of barbarism will descend, unbroken even by a star of hope, unless we conquer, as conquer we must; as conquer we shall. May 17, 1940.

I don’t see a world where we advance sufficiently while people like Harout Sarkisian are commenting. I hope he isn’t real though, pretty likely an imposter. No Armenian would say “even” Nachichevan, the only reason that’s different from Artsakh was that in the 90s there wasn’t a significant Armenian majority there. And the spelling is suspicious too. Likely an imposter.

Anyway, that aside, all of this can only come to two ends: (1) Azeris win, humanitarian catastrophe, etc. we all know that scenario, which is why we are fighting. (2) Azeris don’t win, in which case this has to extend until all the so called “occupied territories” are again controlled by Artsakh or Azerbaijan recognizes Artsakh and in return receives land back. Otherwise the implication would be that there was a military solution to the situation the whole time which is a dangerous conclusion. The question is how much the Azeris could be given in this hypothetical, since the territories next to Artsakh are, as we have seen, vital for its defense.

Could the ultranationalist generation of Azeris that have grown up with fascist propaganda ever be trusted to keep the peace? Unlikely. If Aliev doesn’t deliver now, he’ll be ousted, likely replaced by a Turkish puppet and the post 94 years begin anew, albeit expedited – there can’t be another 25 years of quasi-ceasefire if your population genuinely hates their neighbors and wants them dead (ample evidence: from political statements to literally fascist schoolbooks to the axe murderer’s glorification to the recent comments by the FC Qarabag spokesperson to the weeklong shelling of civilian infrastructure, etc.). The problem is that a population this indoctrinated is willing to believe whatever, no matter how baseless (the “Azeri counterattack”) while it understands that it has to hide its true views from the world (i.e. its genocidal agenda for example via the popular Turkish lie that “Armenia would be better off if we had open borders with Turkey”).

Conveniently, bribed European and other officials and those that can’t be bothered to read a book love their “both sides need to behave” messages, even when it is pretty easy to understand what is going on and cui bono.

Meanwhile the Russian’s situation is understandable given who has come to power in Hayastan and started causing damage, though you would have hoped that learning from Georgia 2008 Putin should have realized that you shouldn’t pay too much attention to these fluctuations and try to counter them instead in time (could have saved a lot of trouble with Ukraine too). While an uneducated Russian will likely think Armenia is not worth protecting and the semi-educated Armenian will consider Russia at fault for past difficulties and catastrophes, the truth is, and we can only hope that this war helped the wider Armenian populace understand, that without serious U.S. commitment (which includes the unrealistic but ultimately inevitable scenario of dropping Turkey), there will be no way to separate the two given the current political climate.

All very tragic but that’s life for you…
