I went to Azerbaijan last month. It was lovely. I always viewed them as the aggressors and Armenia as the victims because Armenia is a nation that just seems to have been victimised a lot. But I saw a lot of memorials in Azerbaijan suggesting the conflict wasn't so one sided. I have no idea. It might have been propaganda, it's a former commie Russian place after all. Glad they're chilling now though.

Baku - Quba - Xinaliq - UFC Baku - Sheki - Zaqatala

Yeah I fucking love the countryside in those Caucasus countries. Superb hiking and scenery. Xinaliq was unreal. Third world vibes. Super friendly though.

That's what I've heard as well. My wife is Azeri and they visited Baku. They mentioned just a stone's throw outside the city limits was village territory. Beautiful but a stark contrast.

In 2016, the final year of Obama's presidency, the US dropped 26,171 bombs in seven countries. He got the Nobel.

Maybe Trump is just doing it wrong?

Trump increased drone strikes in his first term compared to Obama and also removed oversight.

Are we giving Trump credit for a great Afghanistan withdrawal or shitting on Biden for a bad one? A pretty big L for the US regardless.

I could break down that withdrawal for you if you like.

Dont really care. It was a giant L no matter what.

You literally asked me a question about it. Now you don't care.

Im sure you will find a way to praise Trump and shit on Biden for it. Guess i should have been more clear and said i dont really care for an explanation from you.
Doesnt really matter how you spin it. Afghanistan was a giant L

 

[Stoic1]

No spin necessary. Facts here are not partisan.

Azerbaijan ethnically cleansing nagorno korabahkt started the conflict. Did he re-establish the safety and self determination of ethnic Armenians in the region? If not a peace deal is just a seal of approval for the genocide.

Israel has played a significant role in Azerbaijan's ethnic cleansing of Armenians.
