Europe looked away after Azerbaijan cleansed an Armenian enclave, because the Azerbaijanis supplied us with much needed natural gas. We’ve learned nothing. Only a matter of time before autocratic Azerbaijan invades democratic Armenia to take the Zangezur corridor, if not much more. So much for democracy vs autocracy.

Is there any hope for Europe to get its act together and try to stabilise what happens just across its borders? The Eurocrats talk a lot but can’t get security policy done, the French still think geostrategically but overestimate their own capabilities, and Germany still hasn’t rejected their smug self-imposed isolationism.
