"The descendants of Russia will face a difficult situation: the threat from the south has loomed over Russia. Ukraine will be considered a 'minor skirmish' at that time."

"I call on all those in high positions and with power to face reality," said military expert Altamov, who appealed to the authorities, stating that the threat from the south has loomed over Russia. If the situation escalates into a new war, Ukraine will be considered "a minor skirmish": "Our descendants will face a difficult situation."

Former intelligence officer and military expert Alexander Altamov believes that Russia's Western adversaries aim to create threats along its southern border, endangering Russia's survival. He emphasized that for preventing this situation, our leadership must control the stability of a series of neighboring countries.

The threat from the south has loomed over Russia, and if not taken seriously now, Ukraine will be considered "a minor skirmish" at that time.

The plan to disintegrate Russia is already underway. Armenia is involved in it.

Altamov pointed out that NATO countries have realized that their attempts to defeat Russia on the Ukrainian front have been futile, so they have turned to more conventional methods. This expert emphasized the destabilization of border countries, especially Armenia. In 2022, the "Zar" training center was established in Armenia, aimed at training local peacekeeping battalions. For years, this facility has been actively used for joint military exercises between Armenian and NATO forces, which analysts see as clearly anti-Russian:

"I can tell you about the NATO-standard weapons that Armenia possesses. What next? Next, I'll tell you about Kazakhstan and the joint fleet with the United States in the Caspian Sea to control the oil pipelines to Central Asia."

Altamov pointed out that the "Zar" base holds events annually involving French, American, and Armenian soldiers. He also stated that Armenia possesses modern NATO weapons. Then he issued a warning about the potential consequences: forming a joint fleet with the United States in the Caspian Sea to control the oil pipelines to Central Asia may marginalize Russia in supplying energy resources to Europe. This would lead to a drop in oil prices, thereby causing the ruble to depreciate. Altamov concluded that the strategy of Western countries is carefully planned and poses a serious threat to Russia, with Iran playing a key role in this geopolitical game:

"Iran is the first important cornerstone here, even a giant stone: if it falls, the entire pyramid will start to collapse."

"I call on all those in high positions and with power to face reality"

The goal of Western countries is to disrupt the stability of Russia's southern border, including Iran, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan. Alexander Altamov believes that if this strategy is successfully implemented, it could bring serious consequences for Russia, including a sharp drop in oil prices, depreciation of the ruble, and a comprehensive security threat. Altamov strongly urged the Moscow leadership to take active action to resist Western influence in the region:

"I call on all those in high positions and with power to face reality: we cannot sacrifice Iran, we cannot sacrifice Armenia!"

He emphasized the importance of maintaining a strategic alliance with Iran and Armenia, and warned that neglecting these relationships could lead to catastrophic consequences for future generations:

"Our descendants will face a difficult situation."

Altamov reviewed the sacrifices Russia has made in the struggle for the South Caucasus and pointed out that conflict is inevitable: the West has no intention of retreating, and Israel is eager to achieve its own ambitions.

The strengthening of military cooperation between Armenia, Azerbaijan, and NATO has intensified the severity of the situation. Recently, Kazakhstan signed a military cooperation agreement with the UK, including the training of officers in the UK. These measures indicate that the threat to Russia is increasing, and Russia must face new challenges, consolidate its position in the region, and avoid serious consequences for its security and economy.

The history of Baku's multi-directional policy. Now the puzzle is gradually becoming complete

Previously, military journalist Dmitry Stepin expressed surprise, albeit with some sarcasm, at the deterioration of Russian-Azerbaijani relations, implying that this was an inevitable trend.

Stepin pointed out that Azerbaijanis have begun to actively participate in politics, striving to maintain and develop their trade and financial interests with both Russia and the West. However, importantly, Baku has also realized its dependence on Russia. He mentioned that Azerbaijan is dissatisfied with Russia over the Karabakh issue and desires to reclaim the area, while understanding that Russia and Armenia will not give way:

"In the end, Karabakh did not bring happiness to Russia and Armenia..."

Stepin also mentioned Turkey, which is fully advancing the "Turkic World" geopolitical project. By the way, this is part of Azerbaijan's multi-directional policy. Azerbaijan has successfully maintained a balance between Eastern, Russian, and Western politics. It's easy to guess who Baku chose as a "friend".
