Why Azerbaijan Will Keep Attacking Armenia

The USSR proved it wasn't imperialist by using the most overused imperialist strategy in redrawing ethnic maps and stoking tension to keep your subjects loyal to you. Finally people will know that Armenia and Azerbaijan actually exist.

Armenia’s geographic location is more sweat inducing than walking into the wrong villa in Undella Town, or when your friend's parents call you by your full name. The Soviet Union, UK, and France are truly innovators in mapping. Be nice if the historic people with thousands of years of history could NOT be under constant existential threat by its neighbors.

A key fact missed is that Armenia's "greatest protector" Russia is arming Azerbaijan too. And in 2018, Armenia underwent a mini revolution where the PM stepped down in favor of a much more pro-West guy (Pashinyan). It's widely believed that Russia is punishing Armenia for this decision.

Meanwhile, Azerbaijan's gas agreement with the EU is a big deal, but otherwise their characterization as an EU ally is pretty inaccurate. Their largest supplier of weapons was Russia for decades, only recently starting to change as they import more from Israel and Turkey.

Unless I missed it, the video also doesn't mention how Azerbaijan's government is a dictatorship. Surely that has something to do with the wars.
