Some lessons learned on the take over of Azerbaijan of Nagorno Karabakh: This take over came not by a suprise, Azerbaijan was following since it won the 2nd Karabakh war in autumn 2020 the goal to take over the disputed region. It followed a Salami tactic since one year.

Azerbaijani state affiliated media is essentially run by Groypers: what matters is that the enemy is "in hysterics," a feminized state of overwhelming anger and anxiety, while the Azerbaijanis and Turks are just "trolling." It's the language and logic of /pol/.

You may remember my sister Nina, a teacher in bordering villages of Artsakh who tirelessly reported on the blockade and exodus on her soc. media. She was the go-to person for journalists seeking firsthand accounts of the situation on the ground. Today, she needs our support. 1/2
