Secretary of State Antony Blinken dropped a bombshell on Capitol Hill amid intense fighting around the Ukrainian stronghold of Avdiivka and chaos in Israel: there is a distinct possibility of another country being invaded in the near future.
Azerbaijan's surprise attack against Armenian separatists seized the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave last month. Now, Azerbaijan is poised to invade Armenia.
Armenia has relied on Moscow for protection for decades. On the fringes of the Middle East, the South Caucasus region was responsible for 90% of Soviet oil production.
The Kremlin's failure to prevent a more favorable outcome for Armenia seems to have emboldened Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
The Daily Wire's Ryan Saavedra explains:
POLITICOย reportedย that the Biden administration is concerned that conflict in the Middle East could soon spread after Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev made recent remarks that he will retake the region โby forceโ after he invaded the Nagorno-Karabakh region last month.
Blinken claimed that the Biden administration was looking for ways to hold Azerbaijan accountable, including cutting off military assistance to the country. U.S. officials reportedly believe that the invasion could happen in the next several weeks.
The report, based on the way it was written, suggested that the administration only briefed Democrat lawmakers, saying that he expressed confidence about ongoing talks between the nations โto the Democratic lawmakers.โ
The U.S. would cut off funding to Azerbaijan by not renewing a waiver that allows the U.S. to do so, which it has renewed every year for the last two decades.
Analysts believe that the Azerbaijani military has an advantage over the Armenian military, which will likely impact Aliyev's decision-making.

Do we now invade Armenia??
No… Armenia has relied on Moscow for protection for decades and been responsible for 90% of Soviet oil production. So just like the Soviets destroyed their own undersea gas pipelines it’s best to let them destroy their own oil production in Armenia!
Why does the USA need to be involved with every global skirmish? Who do we think we are?
Weโre so arrogant.
Or, Bidenโs paying off the Military Complex.
Are they giving 10% to the Big Guy too?
