minus-squaresunzu@kbin.runlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down4·6 days agoNo doubt and good policy shift imho but west ain’t gonna save them now, they really can’t. Their best bet is Iran who can actually do something and has a reason to do so but that’s another mistake tbh too. Not really sure what Armenia can do at this point since Azerbaijan appears to be on a war path and has capability to execute.
