Türkiye - Azerbaijan | Strategic Partnership, Regional Alliance, Military Cooperation - News & Updates

[hyperman]

It is difficult to see the value of the strategic play that Azerbaijan is making when you consider it is sharing a border with both Russia, and Iran.

You would have thought they would keep their heads, and enjoy the prosperity that they have?

What would the population of Azerbaijan be thinking of his recent moves against Türkiye ?? How has this affected the local calculus ? He seem's very confident in his moves. Yes, he should be green and strange to think that he is thinking of not being green.

His real fear is his own rule. Turkey is a unique danger to it b/c of Turkish soft power capacity as a Turkic state next door, even when it doesn't necessarily want to, Turkey is able to affect things in Azerbaijan, for a soviet era KGB control freak like Aliyev that organic pole existing outside of his own control is offputting.

Also I think he believes Israel is a stronger bet than Turkey, b/c of its influence in Washington.

Israel's power in the USA is decreasing, even Netanyahu admits to that. He has not thought things out if he thinks he can rely on Israel.

The ones enamored with Israeli power and by extension US power, are rarely anything other than Sycophants. The UAE is a prime example of that, now it seems Aliyev wants to try it for himself.

It's still to early to say that IMO. We may enter a phase where public support for the Israeli regime is frowned upon but this doesn’t have to mean anything.
