Azerbaijan's tough stance towards Russia, and Russia is likely to have no choice but to endure it, with more will than ability.
The plane crash, Russia apologized, but the issue of compensation has not been resolved yet.
Now, Russia is arresting Azerbaijanis, and there are also unexplained deaths.
This time, Aliyev did not hold back, no longer showing weakness to Russia, retaliating in kind, directly arresting people from Russian news agencies, and abolishing Russian language in schools, no longer studying it in the future.
Russia-Azerbaijan relations have plummeted, basically on the verge of collapse, and it will not be a short time before they recover.
Putin must be very troubled, the Ukraine conflict is not over yet, and now there's trouble in the backyard. For three years, Russia has been almost drained, once a mighty lion, now without any霸气, just an empty shell.
For Azerbaijan's strong stance, Putin can only endure it, only comfort, otherwise, if Azerbaijan takes action, Russia will fall into a deep abyss. One Ukraine is hard to deal with, and then another Aliyev, completely helpless. Although Azerbaijan is small, Russia now has absolutely no capacity to go to war with Azerbaijan.
The only way for Russia is to end the Ukraine conflict as soon as possible, rest and recuperate, so that neighboring small countries won't move around. Otherwise, small pests are difficult to deal with, and Russia's situation would be very dangerous. Once Western countries add fuel to the fire, it would be even worse.
