Detournement Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Today in Colombia election observers are being assassinated and the election is being fixed by giving out prespoiled voting cards in poor areas. I don't expect Joe Brandon to have much to say about it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Shinzo Abe, former Japanese Prome Minister, has been shot at a campaign event. Reading reports he seems very seriously injured. No idea if the motive. Abe stood down in 2020 and has been Japans longest serving PM, in office from 2006-2007 and then 2012-2020. Probably the most senior politician wounded in an assassination attempt in many years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Reports from Karabakh that Azerbijan has launched a new offensive in Karabakh. Very sporadic reports that Azerbijan is attacking the Northern areas of Karabakh, currently still held by Armenian forces. The 2020 war saw Azerbijan break through in the South of the territory and attack from there. The Northern areas were seen as more heavily defended. There are some videos fo Azeri armour being driven to the front, unconfirmed. The Russian-Ukrainian war has a big part of what is happening. Russia is now more reliant on the Azeri regime and Baku to move their products (oil and gas) to India. Russian diplomats have made several visits to Baku, they have signed an intelligence pact with Azeribijan. The Russian Ambassador also visited Shushi, captured by Azeri troops in the 2020 war. In fact, IIRC President Aliyev was visiting the Kremlin on the day of the invasion. Russia is the main, and indeed, only significant ally the Armenians have. Armenia have backed the Russian lead intervention in Kazakhstan earlier this year, sening special forces troops as part of the CSTO 'peacekeeping mission'. They have abstained in international organisation votes against the invasion but haven't really backed it. The Russian peacekeeping mission in Karabakh is clearly under pressure due to the resources focused on Ukraine. In addition, rearming Armenian forces would only really be possible by Russia and clearly their new production of arms is going to be focused on their ongoing war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
