Border Points

The phrase "It's complicated" could have been coined for Nagorno-Karabakh. Notice, for example, that Iran is seeking to play both sides of the street, under a Supreme Leader who is himself an ethnic Azeri.

But here as in Crimea, the erstwhile Trotskyists and the self-appointed guardians of Cold War liberalism are remarkably anxious to preserve the borders that were imposed arbitrarily and opportunistically by the Soviet Union.

It is very, very odd.
