Isn't Turkey a close ally of Azerbaijan? It wouldn't be surprising to me if Turkey is pushing Azerbaijan behind the scenes, Erdogan plays everyone, Russia, Europe, America, as long as it benefits him, curious to see how America handles him if they want to form closer bonds with Armenia. CSTO is really collapsing before our very eyes though. - Russia - Looking like a clown in Ukraine.
- Armenia - Being attacked by Azerbaijan and receiving little to no help from CSTO and as a result they're forming closer bonds with America.
- Kazakhstan - Publicly critical of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, sending aid to Ukraine, forming closer bonds with China and the West.
- Kyrgyzstan - Attacking Tajikistan.
- Tajikistan - Attacking Kyrgyzstan.
- Belarus.

Yeah, it looks like the Russian order has shattered. This is kind of like a smaller scale version of when the British order collapsed after World War I. I have a feeling Russia would be in even more trouble had the US not pulled the right out from under Iran a few years back. It makes me wonder if there was some encouragement from Russian agents that caused this to happen, it was such a bizarre thing to do after almost successfully bringing Iran onto the path of Democratic Liberalization. |
Much like with Cuba and Bay of Pigs, there's a certain segment of the American political establishment that will never be able to get past the Iran Hostage Crisis, so probably not so much.
