The neocons are out in full force wishing death on Armenians to spite Russia.
The neo-cons are all lining up behind Azerbaijan's attack on Armenia!
What's sad is that Armenia is a member of NATO's Partnership for Peace.
But because it also maintains good relations with Russia, NATO still wants to see Armenia destroyed. https://t.co/0ShJ4v691k

With friends like these, who needs enemies?
Neo-con think tanker openly cheers on the Azeri attack on Armenia.
Says it's a way to contain Russia, Iran, and China.
To these people, the world is a chess board, and they don't care how much blood is spilled. https://t.co/RirwdKFkJV

Meanwhile, could this spark World War III?
??? Armenia has officially decided to request military assistance from Russia against Azerbaijan.
The request will be made under their bilateral defense pact and the CSTO.
If Russia accepts, we could see a second NATO-Russia proxy war explode. ? https://t.co/OKtTOTUfLO

Whatever happened to “muh territorial integrity”?
It's poetic to watch the E.U. try to pivot from getting energy from Russia to "better" partners.
You know, like Azerbaijan, a dictatorship attacking a neighboring democracy as part of a centuries-long campaign of genocide against the world's oldest Christian state. https://t.co/Y989BZLn4M

The United States is officially neutral.
The Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict is one of the few conflicts that the U.S. is officially neutral on. We have good relations with both countries, Azerbaijan being an oil-producing state who sent troops to the Iraq War and Armenia having outsized cultural influence via its diaspora.

In the case of Armenia-Azerbaijan, it is Azerbaijan that is encroaching on Armenia’s territory and even calling for the entire state to be swallowed up as “West Azerbaijan.”
I’ll save the in-depth discussion of this for another thread, but Azeri revanchism was never limited to Nagorno-Karabakh. For decades, Azeris have asserted that Armenia itself is rightful Azeri territory, using the terms “Erivan Khanate” or “Western Azerbaijan.”

“…in 1918, Yerevan was granted to the Armenians. It was a great mistake. The khanate of Iravan (Yerevan) was the Azeri territory, the Armenians were guests here.” – Ilham Aliyev, president of Azerbaijan, 2008https://t.co/5XyfYJLWx4

What’s interesting is that some liberals, like Schifty Adam Schiff, are siding with Armenia — presumably because Adam Schiff represents a lot of Armenians in his district?
Azerbaijan has reportedly shelled the homes of innocent civilians in Artsakh and is now attacking Armenia’s border.
An egregious violation of the ceasefire and direct attack on Armenia’s sovereignty.
The U.S. must halt all assistance to Azerbaijan – immediately and permanently.

Another Democrat spoke out:

The Azerbaijan-Armenia issue definitely complicates matters. But it also just goes to show that the neocons, and the Globalist American Empire, tend to selectively use moral claims only to obscure, justify, and/or distract from raw political power aims.
For instance, many GAE acolytes will defend the territorial integrity of Ukraine, but not Armenia.
They will push for homosexual marriage in Russia or Kenya, but not Qatar.
They will call for cutting foreign aid, but not foreign aid to Israel.
They will support Christians in Pakistan, but not Palestine or Armenia.
They will defend the dignity and honor of the Kurds, right up until the point it comes time to appease Turkey.
They will decry “dictators” in Russia, Syria, or North Korea, but not Saudi Arabia.
They will bemoan “insurrectionists” in Washington, D.C., but not in Hong Kong:
Last yr I was with protesters in Hong Kong as they stormed the legislative building. It was an insane night but one of protesters’ 5 demands was the ability to elect all their leaders!!!! Not trying to shut down election results! Pls stop w ur bad HK/US comparison takes pic.twitter.com/dxT0dic7SK

The D.C. regime always uses moral claims as a justification for why YOU, the average American, have to suck it up and suffer, and bleed and die and impoverish yourself for Iraq, or Afghanistan, or the Ukraine. But once you realize the GAE uses moral arguments and justifications as a mere façade as they single-mindedly pursue the interests of a globalist oligarchic cabal, then stop and think for a minute just how easily the D.C. regime could drop all pretense to moral qualms abroad and simply put America First. That’s right — the awesome might of America could be used to very quickly and easily improve the lot of the American people.
But alas, that’s not how things go in our sacred “democracy”.
Such is life in the Globalist American Empire.
