Never let your country get broken up.
How does turkey fund all these geopolical endeavor, military build up with shitty economy and depriciating Lira? Turkey is busy in arming azerbaijan, syrian rebels, political interference in Libiya, arming Ukrainians etc. I am surprised Turkey’s economy isn’t bankrupt yet.
CSTO is very dependent on Russian arm forces. Russia is currently having its hands full with Ukraine, a situation Azerbaijan is smartly exploiting. I doubt Russia wants to get deeply involved in another country at present.
The next major country in CSTO is Belarus. Despite all of Lukashenko boasting/threats, he didn't order his army into Ukraine to fight alongside with Russians. He is certainly playing to maximize his interests which make Belarusian involvement in Armenia also uncertain.
Azerbaijan just announced increasing gas export to EU to court their support so that EU/UN would likely turn a blind eye (other than issuing some meaningless statements calling for restraint).
Sure, Azerbaijan is gambling here. But it is gambling with a stacked deck.
i will be surprized Russia will help Armenia. first Armenia has not supported on Ukraine issue even verbally.
Armenian has millions in diaspora that is more liberal. that thing alone is very allergic to Putin.
It is against the law to heckle pedophiles now?
Turkey's economy is a basket case but they have a lot of remittances. And with regards to the Turkish economy itself, a large part of the country's economy runs on alternative currencies like the Euro. So it isn't as bad as you might think in practice. Turkey itself had a major construction binge and there is a huge private debt overhang because of that.
Unlike Europe, Turkey has the benefit of Islamic demographics.
In the long run I think Turkey will be fine.
Never seen someone use tires to cover their trenches (Armenia). Tho it doesn’t seem all that effective being a 1 layer tire wall that is stacked on top of each other.

Will the UK even have money to fund or power to run its own university research programs? This is a perfect chance for China to poach UK talent and offer a better opportunity in Chinese universities instead.
