Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
I can't stop thinking about the 30 points with 10 transferred to Armenia. The second base is a serious escalation of Russian presence they must have gotten wind of something or safeguarding something. The single base is good deterrent, but they are looking to beef this up as they don’t just want to rely on a deterrent they want a force in play.
We also know that CSTO is up and running the next exercise is called Unbreakable Brotherhood. Now this is some serious sheet! This has gone up 3 notches from where it already was. Very simple really, what good is Moscow without strong allies? In addition I think in a strange sense the West welcomes this. This is not just the Afghan containment after the pullout witch at this point is a fact in the making. All this has only increased Armenians position by a very large and significant margin. This is piggybacking on top of dwindling Azeri resources.
The theory that I have for all this strange inflection is oil. With any more craziness in the ME the only solution is Russian oil. The West tried in vain all these years to isolate Moscow, and these silly pipelines from baboonistan won’t even fill one bucket of what is needed for global needs. The only person left to fill this void is Moscow with 10 times the reserves of the ME and this is by Soviet standards witch was conservative. Not only was it conservative with strategic reasoning the tech curve has moved forward, meaning there is even more oil. Who can be a stable source of oil in this instable world but Moscow? Don’t make a mistake in thinking that the West all of a sudden likes Armenia, it’s all about oil.
So with that said 10 points get transferred to Armenia
