DW: Nagorno-Karabakh: Russia says Azeri troops entered peacekeeping zone
Moscow says soldiers from Azerbaijan have violated a peace deal with Armenia over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The two sides fought a two-month war over the former Soviet territory in late 2020.
Russia on Saturday claimed that soldiers from Azerbaijan have entered a zone that is the responsibility of Moscow's peacekeepers in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Russia's Defense Ministry said
Azeri forces had set up a surveillance post and carried out four drone strikes in the breakaway territory, in violation of a cease-fire agreement. It added that Turkish-made drones were used to strike at Karabakh troops near the village of Farukh, also known as Parukh.
The Defense Ministry of Nagorno-Karabakh said the drones had killed three people and wounded another 15.

Is WNU too blind to be scared?
One of Dunnigan's publications had a piece on the Chechnyan War. The opinion was that Chechnya would remain in the Russian fold so long as Russia was strong. If not they would break away. The cost of Russia loosing the war in Ukraine is to lose the Caucasus.
This might be looked at as a good thing by some. After the meat grinder of the First Russo-Chechnyan War, Islamicists thought nothing better to do than to head north and ravage Russian lands. You can argue the Moscow apartment building all day long. Point is jihadis were coming north. They were very public about it.
There is a problem with winning. The Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628B exhausted both Byzantium and Persian. True Byzantium took back everything the Persians took from it, but then it was exhausted. Both sides were. In this state the Muslim took over the Persian Empire and marched all the way to the gates of Byzantium. It affected China as well. The Muslims raided all the way to the coasts of Guanzhou in China.
Plagiarist Joe Biden is not much of scholar and neither are his animal handlers.
Russia is vulnerable at the margins since they are distracted in Ukraine.
