Armenia and Azerbaijan are now at war

This was breaking news last night when I saw it. 

Peter Zeihan on the new Armenia/Azerbaijan war:

Anyone else starting to get World War III vibes? 

I blame Russia for tipping the first domino by invading Ukraine.* Interesting article on global conflicts here. The linked article came out in January of this year and predicted Armenia/Azerbaijan as one of the ten conflicts to look out for.

*Yeah, yeah, we could go on all day about chains of causation. There's a whole school of thought out there that blames the West for provoking Putin by considering Ukraine for NATO membership. This makes it seem as though Russia had no choice but to attack Ukraine, which is bullshit. Of course, with Ukraine being the corrupt, leprous state it is, I find it hard to have much sympathy for the Ukrainian government. The regular people are another matter.
