Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
This is a war of attrition.
The weaker side resorts to war of attrition when it knows it cannot win a conventional war.
BUT thinks it can wear the enemy down and demoralize it to a level where the other side will say it’s just not worth it.
Also its loses will be smaller than a conventional war therefore perceived small relative to the objective.
As long as the enemy thinks that it is making headway it will peruse this policy.
It will be logical to increase the resources available since its a working strategy.
We must refuse to take on the role of the goal keeper and try to score goals ourselves which will hurt the enemy.
This is why we have to think ahead of the curve and ask ourselves, how many losses can we afford to lose for how long and what are the alternatives.
If its "mini" war then we need to seek political support, covertly if necessary to move forward.
