"This is nothing, just wait for Kosovo," they told Bill Clinton when he visited Bosnia. Well, South Ossetia is nothing. Just wait for Nagorno-Karabakh.
As Azerbaijan seeks closer integration with the secularised, consumerised, de-historicised, borderless, culturally debased, morally bankrupt excuse for the West favoured by the people now running this and several other countries, it will remain engaged in the Islamist persecution of a section of the Armenians, the first people, as such, ever to convert to Christianity.
In Nagorno-Karabakh, the Armenians will, sooner rather than later, declare independence with full Russian backing, specifically in order to escape, as part of Christendom, from yet another in the long list of Islamist regimes or movements either backed (1980s Afghanistan, 1990s Bosnia, and today's Turkey, Kosovo, Pakistan, Kashmir and Chechnya) or called into being (Iraq, and putatively Syria) by the pseudo-West.
What will happen then? Which side will the Bushes, McCains, Camerons and indeed Saakashvilis of the world be on? And why?
This is nothing. Just wait for Nagorno-Karabakh.

In Russia there are more legal procured abortions per annum than there are live births.
ReplyDeleteHow is Russia a part of Christendom in some way that the West is not?
Russia becomes less Christian the more she Westernises in the Modern or Postmodern sense, and more so the more she attends to her own profoundly Christian heritage, as advocated by, most notably in recent years, Solzhenitsyn.
ReplyDeleteAmong other things, Putin re-introduced the teaching of Christianity in schools in Russia, which is constitutionally forbidden in the United States.
Until America moves beyond seeing the Founding Fathers as prophets or apostles, and the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as part of the Bible, then, however many Christians there might be there, the American Republic, as such, will never be a force for Christianity.
Furthermore, the actual laws on abortion in Russia and America or Britain are barely distinguishable, and the American one is at least arguably the worst of the lot. No Republican would ever appoint judges who seriously wanted to change it, because their doing so would put the party of big business and big war out of business and out of war.
You tend to forget one other party involved in the NK conflict - Turkey.
ReplyDeleteThey supplied military advisors to Azerbajan during the conflict and they remain in presence there.
If Russia did anything then the Turks would simply close the Dardanelles to Russian shipping like they have done in history.
See if Russia could get through those Straits without pilotage and towage expertise.
Of course Russia could bomb Istanbul (no doubt a fantasy of yours) but all that would do would give resolve to the Turks who possess the most powerful armed forces in the Middle East.

By the way I was in contact with Lviv yesterday. The city has draped the town hall (across the street from John Sorbeski's house) with giant Georgian flags.
A bit of an unambivalent message don't you think?
"If Russia did anything then the Turks would simply close the Dardanelles to Russian shipping like they have done in history."
ReplyDeleteIf they wanted another awar against Russia, yes. I doubt that they do.
Although that really would be the point at which NATO fell apart, with everyone else frantically getting out of war with Russia by saying that, since Turkey had started it, Turkey was the aggressor, in no need of defence. Nobody, but nobody, is going to go to war with Russia. As we have just seen.
"A bit of an unambivalent message don't you think?"
But they can dream on. NATO, the EU, and indeed the eastern half of their own country do not want to know.
Hanging out a Georgian flag might, of course, just be an expression of sympathy, as one might "aaahhh" a gallant loser at a school sports day. That would certainly make sense.
