https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_WarThe caucasian War (Russian: Кавказская война; Kavkazskaya vojna) of 1817–1864 was an invasion of the Caucasus by the Russian Empire which resulted in Russia's annexation of the areas of the North Caucasus, and the ethnic cleansing of Circassians. It consisted of a series of military actions and atrocities waged by the Empire against the native peoples of the Caucasus including the Chechens, Adyghe, Abkhaz–Abaza, Ubykhs, Kumyks and Dagestanians as Russia sought to expand.[6] Among the Muslims, resistance to the Russians was described as jihad.[7]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Turkish_War_(1877–1878)The Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 (Turkish: 93 Harbi, lit. 'War of ’93', named for the year 1293 in the Islamic calendar; Bulgarian: Руско–турска Освободителна война, romanized: Rusko-turska Osvoboditelna vojna, "Russian–Turkish Liberation war"was a conflict between the Ottoman Empire and the Eastern Orthodox coalition led by the Russian Empire and composed of Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro.[9] Fought in the Balkans and in the Caucasus, it originated in emerging 19th-century Balkan nationalism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Circassian_WarThe Russo-Circassian War (1763–1864) involved a series of battles and wars in Circassia, the northwestern part of the Caucasus, during the course of the Russian Empire's conquest of the Caucasus. Those who use the term Russian–Circassian War take its starting date as 1763, when the Russians began establishing forts, including at Mozdok, to be used as springboards for conquest; [6] and only ending approximately 101 years later, with the signing of loyalty oaths by Circassian leaders on 2 June [O.S. 21 May] 1864.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Persian_War_(1826–1828)After the Treaty of Gulistan that concluded the previous Russo-Persian War in 1813, peace reigned in the Caucasus for thirteen years. However, Fath 'Ali Shah, constantly in need of foreign subsidies, relied on the advice of British agents, who pressed him to reconquer the territories lost to Russia and pledged their support for military action.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Persian_War_(1722–1723)The Russo-Persian War of 1722–1723, known in Russian historiography as the Persian campaign of Peter the Great,[9] was a war between the Russian Empire and Safavid Iran, triggered by the tsar's attempt to expand Russian influence in the Caspian and Caucasus regions and to prevent its rival, the Ottoman Empire, from territorial gains in the region at the expense of declining Safavid Iran
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasus_campaignThe Caucasus campaign comprised armed conflicts between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, later including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus, the German Empire, the Central Caspian Dictatorship, and the British Empire, as part of the Middle Eastern theatre during World War I. The Caucasus campaign extended from the South Caucasus to the Armenian Highlands region, reaching as far as Trabzon, Bitlis, Mush and Van. The land warfare was accompanied by the Russian navy in the Black Sea Region of the Ottoman Empire.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagorno-Karabakh_conflictThe Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a territorial and ethnic conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding districts, which are de facto controlled by the self-declared Republic of Artsakh, but are internationally recognized as de jure part of Azerbaijan. The conflict has its origins in the early 20th century. Under the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin decided to make the Nagorno-Karabakh region an autonomous oblast of Soviet Azerbaijan.[18] The present conflict began in 1988, when the Karabakh Armenians demanded that Karabakh be transferred from Soviet Azerbaijan to Soviet Armenia. The conflict escalated into a full-scale war in the early 1990s.
So why is NATO fighting war by proxy, what does it achieve other than millions of refugees and death and destruction? If the West was serious for peace they would have negotiated peace but instead they chose to further fuel and incite the war. Poor Ukrainians have become victims of a sick group of people bent on war and destruction. Like in Syria the suffering is too painful to watch.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warns countries subverting sanctions imposed on Russia that they'll face consequences for their actions. "Sanctioning countries will not be indifferent to actions that undermine the sanctions," she said. (April 13)

The Russians are now considering flooding them with water.
That is why French President Macron was talking about the formation of a new EU Army to be headed by only European.
One that has no connection or relation to NATO headed by a US Commander and its deputy, a British but never an European.
NATO is by and large a creation by US to counter the Soviet Union Warsaw Pact.
Since Warsaw Pact is already dissolved, NATO is no longer needed.
Its primary purpose is to serve the hegemonic ambition of the US today.
Thats a fair position. Sweden will have to do that if Turkey asks.
If NATO door is closed I think US and UK will give Sweden and Finland a formal treaty alliance by forming a totally different alliance, Something like ANZUS or the treaty with Japan.
This was the day before. Coincidence?
That is one powerful ship easily sunk by a modern missile. Like tanks they are no match for modern missile systems.
