Türkiye bout to get another win in its soft power over Russia, first with Syria and now Azerbaijan is opening up, both booting Russian influence out and bringing Turkish influence in. Armenia (a CSTO member) as well is already angry at Russia for not lifting a finger to help them against Azerbaijan and ultimately it led to Armenia joining the ICC, Lol.
Türkiye and Azerbaijan are bastards to Armenia though, if Europe was smart they would do everything in their power to bring both Armenia and Azerbaijan out of Russia's sphere of influence and not just leave it up to Türkiye since Erdogan is a huge prick and bring them both under our protection, achieve a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan and kick Russia out.
Russia would be left with so few allies at that point, if we didn't have a total moron as US President then I would also be able to see a scenario where we can pull Iran from Russia's influence but that's probably too late now. But the more allies Russia loses, the more allies they're going to lose, folk like Lukashenko aren't truly loyal to anyone, they just care about saving their own skin, I would start applying pressure there.
