Some good news: Putin's close ally, Chechen leader Kadyrov is in a coma, most likely dying from a kidney disease.
He was flown to Moscow for treatment, where doctors said they could not do anything for him anymore.
Tomorrow he might be flown to the United Arab Emirates to see if doctors there can help him.

Chechen uprisings and battles for succession would be nice.

There's reports that another Russian ship, the missile-carrying hovercraft Samum was damaged by a naval drone strike and sent to drydock. The Black Sea fleet is not having a good time right now.

Only source is Ukrainian intelligence so far so I'd take this with a pinch of salt unless there's independent confirmation

[Strongpoint]

Yeah, it is like 10th time when rumors of Kadyrov being dead\dying are circulating.

Now Russia happily admits in their cringe requirement videos that it is a war of conquest and nothing more. The sad part is that even that kind of stuff can't clear the minds of Russian fans in the West.

Also the untranslated text card between the two speaking segments says "Choose the city of your dreams."

These things were clear when they annexed those four regions. The Russian fans in the West know, and they like it.

Azerbaijan started an operation against Karabakh, we will see if it will spill into a full Azerbaijan-Armenia war or if Armenia will limit itself to protests allowing Azerbaijan to take Karabakh.

[Strongpoint]

So far, Armenia has done nothing. I think the pseudo-state of Karabakh will cease to exist in the next few weeks. One less corrupt hellhole on the face of the Earth.

Also, I find it hilarious that there are protests in Armenia demanding to start a big war with Azerbaijan as if it can be anything but a catastrophe for Armenia.

[ChairmanPoo]

I'm very hesitant to weight on these movements given that both Armenia and Azerbajan have a record of war crimes. Insofar as I can lean on any side I've been sympathethic to the azeris because afaik international rulings have been in their favor and previously they had been mauled by Armenia (with Russian support).  But I've a bad feeling that something bad might happen afterwards...
 

[Strongpoint]

Well, my position is simple

1) Azerbaijan is operating within its internationally recognized borders.
2) While both countries have certain ties to Russia, Armenia is way more pro-Russian.
3) Karabakh is a mafia-run territory, locals will never have decent lives unless Karabakh is eliminated one way or another

Yes, I am somewhat worried about what Azerbaijani troops will do with civilian Armenians residing in Karabakh and I am far from sure that Azerbaijan won't go beyond 1991 borders at some point but I am certainly not on Armenia's side.

Hey look at that another war might be starting, what exciting times we live in.

Only on that general theme, not at all to do with Ukraine/nearby, I just want to note in passing that I feel for those in Morocco who had the worst earthquake in local living history and then got overshadowed by the Libya floods. The victims of the latter definitely also deserve our concern, at least as much, but have rather kicked those suffering from the Moroccan aftermath from the news...

In Spain, Lybian floods have almost been a footnote in the news compared to Morocco. Which I found irritating

 Nagorno-Karabakh Republic agrees to cease fire, dismantle its army and withdraw heavy equipment from the territory of Karabakh with the aim of its speedy disposal.

Further negotiations between local Armenian population and Azerbaijan's representatives are set to take place tomorrow

Good, they should have surrendered immediately but I think they had hopes for some international reaction\hep. But Iran is actually NOT suicidal and just likes to be loud, Russia couldn't help even if they wanted, and the West has no reason to interfere.

[MaxTheFox]

I don't know enough about the region so I don't know which side to cheer on. Likely nobody... as aren't both Armenia and Azerbaijan rather war-crimey?
