Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

Very important for Azeris to understand this and stop gloating over their fancy Israeli weapons and thinking that their big military budget will win a war...

Let's not underestimate the enemy (Azeris or Turks). We should win the war based on strategy and on the ground, not by making political statements about past glory and victories.

Why God, are we surrounded by such stupid, barbaric nations? The thing is, of course, we should counter this fake propaganda, and better, attack them with an all-out information war (which basically means just telling the truth). But Azerbaijanis (what ever it may mean), throughout history have been the lowest of the lowest, the most stupid, unintelligent and backward people. That's why the Armenians and Russians were the elite in Baku, Azerbaijanis are just too mongol which is the reason why they have a HUGE inferiority complex. I can assure you, if the oil runs out, Azerbaijan will turn into chaos. Without Armenians and Russians, Azerbaijan will not develop.

Naming the region after Azerbaijan was done to annex the ancient historical province Azerbaijan in Persia. This strategy is highly risky as it can backfire, and in my opinion we should do everything in our might to influence this process. Iran can claim Azerbaijan as an actually part of ancient Persia (which is largely true). Therefore, how much I disagree with the Mullahs, I hope they become more powerful. Azerbaijan is scared to death for these Shiites. I hope one day we will see an islamic revolution in Azerbaijan, and after that the annexation of Azerbaijan into Iran, by which their fake culture will disappear as they have to take over the Iranian culture.

The only negative I see in this is if Iran then claimed Artsakh.

Georgia and Armenia getting closer, wonder what this really means? Does it mean the Georgians feel the Islam closing in on them? Does this mean now they finally see the light? They like Armenians more then anyone else around them on a personal level, however they have had very bad politics as of late. I sense a change coming, but wonder how effective this will be as they are not too good with Russia. I see this is the biggest problem going forward.

I also think Georgia knows that this oil pipeline is a short lived dream and are trying to get closer to Armenia.

Long Live The Republic of Armenia Getza Hyastan!

Why doesn't russia build it's own radar station for their A-135 ABM radar network in allied terriroty like Armenia(or even south ossetia/abkhazia/dagestan etc.)? Rather than relying on The Qabala Radar station in Azerfakejan, in which the west-backed puppet Aliyev can decide someday to dismantle it or sieze its operation?
It just seems strange to me that they still use that station. Maybe it's just a matter of money, it costs less to rent it, than to build another one?

Georgia is getting close to Iran recently, and in my opinion are rather disappointed with the West and NATO who've snubbed Georgia since their attack on S. Ossetia. They are also trying to take control of the Caucasus as they have good relations with both us and Azeris, so they think they are in strong position. But in order to really have good relations with us, Georgians need to have good relations with Russia.

- It costs a huge sum of money to built it, why should they if they have one already
- Strategic location
- Plus, they don't want to ''give it up'' so easy to the Azeris (Americans)

Expert says creation of confederation in South Caucasus is possible
......
Alexander Rahr recalled that back in early 1990s the idea of a confederation in the South Caucasus was considered as an option for resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. “Mr. Saakashvili realizes by moving in this direction it will be possible to solve the problems of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. “He definitely does not want Iran and Russia to be confederation members, but has a wish Abkhazia and South Ossetia may join it,” the expert noted......

This type of announcements hardly support your view.

In politics ideas and strategies have a habit of reviving in different guises.
The reason is, the objectives of the bigger actor’s ultimate goal has not been achieved AND they have not given up.
Remember behind every small player there is a big player lurking.
They could only “stop” if an absolute victory is registered by one of the sides.
