Its lack of visible value is universally agreed upon, yet it remains a going concern. I suspect governments favor it as a nice place to harmlessly deposit unwanted diplomats or other ill-favored personnel who have not actually disgraced themselves. Got an inept but respected guy you want out of the way? Appoint him to the UN.

The UN is a useful tool for maintaining (relative) global peace. It becomes a headache when our "allies" forget their place at the table. Don't throw the baby out with the bidet water.

Bingo. RL loot pinata for the politically connected.

The only 'global peace' the UN maintains is that which the 5 veto-holders allow it to maintain.

Your only precious liver.

I don't see what kind of claim the Azeri's have to Nagorgon-Krabbylath. After the last conflict the Armenians ethnically cleansed the whole area. The kicked out like half to a million Azeris. We should reward that kind of hard effort and let them keep it.

I mean imagine moving all those Azeri's back in, with all the wagons and the dogs and the crying children, and then ten years later they're on their way out again.

It’s Armenian land, and the Azeris aren’t an ethnicity. They are people of iranian Shiite descent who were taught Turkish by the Qizilbash, and only became a nation because of the Russians taking the Caucasus. My wife is “Azeri.” She speaks persian and would admit only dogs converse in Turkic

Nagorno-Karabakh is ethnic Armenian and the surrounding lands were purged due to Azerbaijan not honoring independence of the enclave. Regardless, the Armenian genocide and the loss of western Armenia justifies us taking the side of Armenia. Plus, Armenia is much more democratic and civilized than Azerbaijan

Finally, while it looks like Armenia is losing right now, I have this sneaking suspicion Iran is about to send 100,000 arabs and afghans in to even the playing field. We shall see, Iran has a funny habit of ruthless commitment

Ethnicities are hard to define, let's say historically those peoples were never self-ruling. The Armenians had a tons more self-rule in their history than the Azeris.

Nah, that's what wars are all about. You take stuff and it becomes yours. If someone in the future wants to take it back, their reason can't be I'm taking it back. They need a new reason, or well they don't need any reason at all, but I'm saying if you're like I'm taking back my land that might as well be no reason. It probably wasn't yours to begin with, I mean everyone likes to think so but they can never produce the deed. Records from those eras are spotty at best.

I'm not saying the Armenians don't have a valid beef with well, pretty much all their neighbors, but taking stuff back isn't a good reason.

The best reasons for war are a) God told us to do it, and weirdly in a very specific way and b) They attacked us first, what are you talking about? If I was the Armenians I would go with one of those.

It's amazing it survives as a nation at all, surrounded by all those barbarians. I mean not up north, the Georgians are sensible fellows and also 83% Christian, so they should be funneling Russian aid down south, no?
