Can someone tell me what side we’re supposed to be on, and why?
Armenia, largely Christian, is backed by Russia and Iran, Greek mercenaries, and very distantly, the US. Their military arms are largely Russian.
.........
Azerbaijan, largely Muslim is heavily backed by Turkey (a NATO partner to the US), and Syrian-Turkic mercenaries. Their military arms are largely Western and US and Israeli.
........
Turkey has now taken over the air war command and control, for Azerbaijan.
........
They are fighting over control of a disputed area between Armenia and Azerbaijan that is about 80% ethnic Armenian.
The back story is that this is Turkey’s continuation of their genocidal extermination of the Armenians who took the side of Russia in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878.
.........
The Armenian ambassador to Israel has been recalled in protest over Israel supplying drones to Azerbaijan.
..........
So, we have a Jewish country supplying arms to a Shia Muslim country to attack a Christian country that is backed by Shia Muslim and Christian countries.
.......
And I thought Syria was complicated.
Doesn't sound like there are any good guys, so stay out of it.
