Armenia came to the rescue of Armnians in Karabakh who were surrounded and being ethnically cleansed by the Azeris. Azerberjan began ethnically cleansing Armenians from all parts of its country after the Automous region of Karabakh voted legally to be made part of Armenia. The BS of Armenia just invading Azerberjan is the Azeri narrative that makes them the victim when it was in fact they that started the conflict by attempting to ethnically cleanse its country of Armenians which they ultimatly succeeded in. Shame on you to not dig a little deaper and just accepting Azeri propanganda.

Support and love ❤️ to Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 from USA 🇺🇸

Common in central Asian military command structures: President places his stupid, psychotic, neerdowell, hedonistic son in charge of presidential guard to groom him for scary prospect that he will succeed him.

It's always the aussie and thos west

Both support armenia and Azerbaijan not to go into bloodshed from the Philippines

You tease this as a three part series. But I have to wait 6 months for the rest. Im sure what topic you decide will be interesting as aways. I look forward to seeing your completed report you're working on. Thanks from kiwiland.

I mean, Haiti? Who cares?

Actually , the Russians have of late being deporting a lot of Tajik migrant workers from Russia in the aftermath of the Moscow terror attack. An important aspect of this entire Geopolitical gamut is the relationship between the central Asian republics and Afghanistan which has minority populations that share ethnic origins with almost all of these countries and have been continuously engaged in some kind of civil conflict with the Pashtuns . That a large number of troops fielded by Soviet Union during its congested occupation of Afghanistan came from these countries is another reason behind the uneasy relationship that these countries have with Afghanistan. Indians do operate out of Tajikistan though such operations can't be described as such routine ones as follow permanent deployments. India air force was seen operating from Ayni even as it airlifted its nationals once the US forces left and the Taliban began their second stint at power. All through the Afghan civil war , the Northern Alliance , the same coalition of non - Pashtun forces which later played a pivotal part in helping the US forces quickly topple the Taliban , had been financially and militarily supported by the Iranians and the Indians . This support increased after the Taliban came to power in 1995 . The Tajik population of Afghanistan was a beneficiary of this assistance , something Tajikistan by itself could not have managed . Iran has always had a difficult time dealing with Sunni fundamentalist groups in Afghanistan . Now after the advent of Taliban 2.0 things have changed a bit with Improved relations between the Taliban and Iran even as the terms that the Taliban had with Pakistan have deteriorated . Though initially the Indians were very suspicious , the Taliban seemed to have quite deftly won them over .

Your channel is one of the most brilliant ones across even the widest spectrum of portals that deal with current geopolitical and strategic affairs . Kudos .

recent headlines indicate Russia will join China for any Taiwan move. Are the uk and france weenies or will they participate? third side show: Japan. Taiwan has the Clauswitz defender advantage. Taiwan air force rocks. China has threatened total war over Taiwan including nukes. China DOES have a first strike policy.

Using Chinese missiles 😅😅😂

Defenetly looking forward to it!

I wake up from a deep sleep to hit skip every time this, garbage comes on

Shut the fuck up. I wake up from a deep sleep just to turn this off

The most ridiculous pile of crap I have ever heard... every part of it is the ravings of a brainwashed moron...had to stop listening after laughing so much my ass fell off!!! I am an EX Aussie... left for SE Asia after listening to 3 DECADES of this anti China propaganda!!! And equally ignorant about Russia I might add!!! Here are a few questions... How many countries has China invaded since WWII? How many countries has the US invaded since WWII? How many countries has China performed a regime change in since WWII? How many countries has the US performed a regime change in since WWII? How many overseas bases does China have? How many overseas bases does the US have? What is the name of the sea where the US and the Philippines (and Oz?) like to play war games?

kosovo je serbia, todo mi amor y mi fuerza para mis hermanos serbios (menos cuando nadal y djokovijc jueguen) un fuerte abrazo a toda la gente de serbia

I haven't laughed this much for some time. Thank you 💛💙

Cyprus is Turkish not Greek its far away from Greece and is near turkey

The key flaw in your analysis is the failure to take into account the manufacturing might of Chinese economy. The same assumption was made about Russia that they can’t sustain their weapon and equipment losses and they will no choice but to give up once their stockpile has dwindled. The fact has turned out that it is west who had trouble to keep up supplies to Ukrainian forces. US’s reliance on advanced and expensive weapons is their advantage and Achilles heel as shown in Ukraine they take a lot money and time to replenish. If China direct their manufacturing base to support war efforts can you imagine how many drones and missiles it can produce a year. They don’t need quality they need quantity which they will get. Once the American navy runs out their million dollar a pop missiles to shot down the Chinese cheaper and mass produced drones and missiles, they will be sitting ducks.

How long before some Europeans go in and steal the resources?

im drooling Michael Hilliard im drooling

Bro, we are buying gas from Turkmenistan for a long time, They are even richer than us (Uzbekistan) and Iran

This is going to be exciting one because central asia dont always have much news coverage. Would be interesting to hear about them

Just give them independence. How is Indonesia ruling West Papua different from Holland colonizing Java?

Nice.

This should be interesting

looks great! best wishes from Portugal

everything mispronounced

Armenia refuses to accept the muslim invitation to submit to islam and Allah and will fight to remain one of the last TRUE Christian countries on earth

Asia

👍

Yay!

F Mongolia. (Understand it’s not part of the region but covering their military to the same degree would be neat)

This has made my day

I look forward to this series

Funny how you call it a Greco Turkish war, when it was an invasion of Turkey to CYPRIOT soil, and Greece betrayed us and didn’t even help. 60 000 Turkish soldiers against 14 000 Cypriot inexperienced soldiers (the Cypriot National guard was new and disorganised).

Karabakh is Azerbaijan 🇦🇿

You attract a lot of Chinese/russian/brics crackpots in your chat

Hello Unites Snakes, Are you there?

so glad to hear a felllow countryman in this interview

Support Azerbaijan from Albania

Can’t believe red line doesn’t have more subs. Excellent content. Keep plugging.

Wrong map of India

Maybe most of them are fake accounts because Armenians always love to lie but it is really schocking how many d*mbs support separatism

The relationship is somewhat difficult to predict. It is predicated upon how much each thinks it helps themselves, and twisted by how much power either has over the other. As the RF wallows deeper and deeper in its invasion of Ukraine, the power balance continues to shift more towards the PRC. Making predicting the relationship even more difficult, we know that both leaders deal with incomplete information environments, but we still dont know exactly to what extent their worldviews are shaped by fallacious internal assumptions. The question I continue to ponder is, how far does the balance of power need to shift towards the PRC, and how deeply incomplete does the information environment in the Kremlin need to get, before the PRC is able to convince or coerce the RF to join as an actor in the looming Taiwan conflict. The answer to that question is likely different for non kinetic actions directed against the US than it is for kinetic actions against the US, and how likely is the former to precipitate the latter. I personally fear we are far too focused on the kinetic aspect of a Taiwan conflict, when non kinetic actions can possibly also play a major role, but I also personally fear that the addition of RF assets to the conflict in the pacific will alter the equation enough to make the conflict far more devastating to the US and our allies than our planners appreciate.

This channel is very underrated. Wonderful work!

After listening to about 2/3 of this podcast, you would've think that China would invade Russia sometime next week. But seriously, do China and Russia want to have an alliance with the US/EU or an alliance towards each other? There are disagreements towards certain minor things, but relations is never better. These China/Russia 'experts' really don't know what they are talking about.

On the topic of part 3 questions about Poland (and other Eastern flank nations) donating their brand new gear to another state attacked by Russia (Moldova, Georgia). The reason the donation of the post-soviet equipment was such a crucial aid in the first stage of the Russian invasion is because Ukrainian troops were already trained to effectively operate this type of equipment. Even if the local variants and versions differed, it was like switching between Nokia 3210 and 3310, not like switching from Samsung to iPhone. Not only that, Ukrainians would, most likely, have spare parts for the delivered equipment in store and facilities and maintenance personnel adapted to performing needed repairs. Delivering modern Abrams M1A2 tanks to Georgians who, until now, served on T-72s or T-55s would require extensive retraining of the crews and support personnel. This isn't something that can be done within a week or two (except, *perhaps* loaders?). From radio and intercom use, weapons training and maintenance, NBC training, tactics and field repairs to things as basic as muscle memorisation - 4th generation tanks like M1A2 require a well-trained crews to operate correctly, unlike the 2nd/3rd generation T-variants "People's Tanks".

You clowns in the west don't know anything about China or Chinese history. That is why you keep assuming that China will launch a 1 time invasion, be repelled by Western and Taiwanese forces and that will be the end of it. You clowns don't even that this would be the second time China has had to invade Taiwan after the end of a Civil War. The first time was in 1642-1682. Manchu lead Qing China defeated Ming China in the Mainland and the losing forces from the Ming fled to Taiwan and established their forces there. Ming China then launched a massive war of conquest of Taiwan that consisted of 11 invasion attempts and lasted 40 years. Half a million people died. For 40 years straight without ceasing the Ming launched invasion after invasion. They kept coming again and again and again 11 times until they were eventually successful. If you think China is going to launch a one time invasion, fail and just accept the result you are dilusional. They will be relentless. They will keep coming over and over and over again until they eventually succeed even if it takes them decades, but they will win. Furthermore, Taiwan cannot be defended. Taiwan imports 67% of its food, 99% of its energy. 22% of all the food consumed by Taiwan comes from the Mainland. If china launches an embargo no insurance company will cover the costs it takes to ship goods to Taiwan. China will block all shipping in and out of Taiwan. Taiwan will starve and run out of power. Furthermore, China can bombard and shell Taiwan day and night on the clock from its own coast. The water between Taiwan and China is very shallow. You cannot defend against China fksm Taiwan. Furthermore, don't forget that China has weapons with the range to hit the United States Mainland if the US hits Mainland China. The question is do you think the United States is ready to sacrifice Los Angeles, NYC, Washington DC, Houston, San Francisco, Chicago and Miami for Taiwan? I don't think so.
