We need decide NOW what we are going to do if the Bear moves. Russian Fighters Preparing for War in the Caucasus? from Walter Russell Mead's Blog by Walter Russell Mead The New York Times reports that Russian fighters stationed in Armenia have stepped up the number of training flights this year by about 20 percent, “sending a clear warning that Russia could intervene at any moment should violence escalate further in the territorial dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan.” At least eight soldiers were killed in border clashes last week. The bad blood between the Azerbaijanis and the Armenians is at least a century old and has intensified since the end of the Cold War, when the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, an Armenian-majority enclave in Azerbaijan, declared independence. Russia, which is close to Armenia, is also looking over its shoulder at the Turks, whose ambitions in the Caucasus and elsewhere threatens to freeze Russia out. With Turkey, which has been strengthening its economic ties with Azerbaijan in recent months, lined up on the side of the Azerbaijanis, and Russia, Armenia, and Iran opposed, the region is starting to resemble the kind of thing we might have seen in the days of the Ottoman empire.
