Heavy fighting erupts over separatist Nagorno-Karabakh (Armenia Vs Azerbaijan)

[SkippedOnce]

I'm only amazed it's taken this long. It also offers the Kremlin another opportunity to provide 'assistance'.

'Thousands of people took to the Armenian capital's streets again Tuesday, demanding the prime minister's resignation over his handling of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with Azerbaijan.

'Armenian opposition politicians and their supporters have been calling for Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to step down for weeks since he signed a peace deal that halted 44 days of deadly fighting at the cost of territorial concessions to Azerbaijan.

'Crowds of protesters on Tuesday besieged government buildings in Yerevan, chanting “Nikol, go away!” In other parts of Armenia, protesters were reported to have blocked several major roads. Several hours into the rally, opposition supporters erected tents on Yerevan's main square.'

Sophisticated weapons - Pakistan has the A bomb.

They appear to be saving that one for India

In the meantime a new 'can shoot straight and can shred your armour' power bloc is emerging.

The Turks almost joined the 21st century, then Erdogan got in the way.

As long as we stay one step ahead of them on weapons development, and refuse to teach them Principles of Marksmanship - we should be OK.
