No sense in bringing Ukraine into the picture. It appears that Z is on a mission to nowhere in Kursk and the Russians appear to be in no hurry to drop the hammer there. Meanwhile in The Donbas things are moving. Likely to be significant changes by October.
This situation is an interesting one. We’ll see what comes from the Putin visit. Lots of hands pulling in different directions here.
It’s always great to look in on these conflicts that exist outside the flavor of the month. Thanks.
A steady diet of any one thing is never really good for you. And old favorites are always welcome on the menu. I just find these repeat optics endlessly fascinating. There's a message there; not sure what but it's still there.
I had a tea room that was open from 2014-2019 (just 3 months shy of 5 years). I had a dynamic menu for almost all of that time. I'm just not a same old same old girl.
A part of the world I've never visited but strangely care about. I have been remiss in not reporting on it, and thus big thanks for your update.
The most telling paragraph: "Of course, after my visit to Azerbaijan, I will meet with Prime Minister Pashinyan and tell him about the results of our negotiations," Putin said at a meeting with his Azerbaijani counterpart, Ilham Aliyev.
Yes, I've also never been to either. It's just that the American interference dynamics are shoving this part of the world into yet another Ukrainian dynamic. For those that missed the drama in Kiev and Odessa in 2014, Armenia represents another look at that movie. Bangladesh did last month, too. At this rate the whole world could be Ukraine by New Year's Day.
Lots of dynamics here from Israel too. I find the Aliyev and Pashinyan roles fascinating. Aliyev is the cosmopolitan tank driver while Pashinyan is the folded rug the US/French have walked all over until it can fit inside a milk carton. The Azeri people can sleep at night because their leader is all Azerbaijan all the time (a Trump mirror!). And yet he has time to care about the colonies struggling for independence and the climate change environs, too. A modern global crusader cut out of a Marvel comic that hasn't gone woke mostly because he simply doesn't have the time.
Pashinyan is the transition to Armenia's own version of Zelensky. It's comical to watch him play the dancing bear on a chain while he waits for his walking papers, if not assassination.
Armenia-Azerbaijan is a micro movie of the world. One of the clearest and most realistically visualized state of the world body politic dichotomies. How an artificial sun shines on Country A but is dimmed over Country B that's right next door. And the role that picking your friends plays in that. Not to mention occasionally the diaspora interventions, and diplomatic theatrics as well.
The peace deal here is also a mirror for the one we can't get in Israel/Gaza or in Sudan either. The big guys never want peace, though. No money in peace. Hopefully, the world is seeing all over the place these agendas, leaders (and lack of them), and commonalities that keep cropping up. Minutiae arguments over borders, wars over centuries old disputes that aren't the real issue but only the excuse, and the environment of terrorism imposed everywhere as a control mechanism.
We have this window into some semblance of decent looks at this war. It is rapidly preparing to close, though. And then those locks on available information could determine the next phases if the populations haven't seen enough of the top down insanity they have been subjugated under for millenia. Time for everyone to get their two big eyefuls and gear up for the real war. Losing the control systems.
Armageddon and Apocalypse. 2024/2025. Years to remember. And respect!

That’s why I like your kitchen. The menu is constantly changing.
