I get you're just trying to be funny, but also the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict goes back a very long time and has flared up many times over decades. This conflict's import to world powers is not zero, but it's also not a lot, and the risks of that conflict spreading to other countries is essentially nil.
Half joking, but I do think all these separate events with superpowers backing smaller states is increasing global tensions and risking a step closer to a red line somewhere.
Not sure Russia is a superpower anymore. Just the US and China now.
They still have nukes.
So does a bunch of smaller countries, having nukes is not the definition of a super power.
There's a non zero chance that Iran would intervene.
For real. Covid wasn't enough of a problem for the decade? Leaders feel the need to add war into the mix?
Need to cull in order to strengthen the herd when the economics of a larger population are inviable.
COVID only relaxed inflationary tension, it didn't address the underlying issues which hurt economic sustainability.
This is happening because russia has been exposed as weaker than previously thought. They previously guaranteed the security of Armenia but are no longer able to do so.
We haven't even had the Bell riots yet!
Life was fun while it lasted
Was it, though?
I mean, there were a couple weeks in Costa Rica that.. uhh *cough ahem* I mean, yeah it mostly sucked though.
:(
World war III? Nah man, these are a bunch of tiny interdispersed ers like even going on for the last 100 years, the only reason you're paying attention now is because white people are getting hurt!
"Hey, Blinken."
"Did you say Abe Lincoln?!"
Saw it and just trying to FYI, doesn't look good, though.
