Armenia's loss against Azerbaijan has several lessons for India:
1. Governments backed by Woke Diaspora/elites are a national disaster waiting to happen
2. Demography is Destiny: Armenians have stopped breeding, while Azerbaijanis have only increased their population advantage,
1. Governments backed by Woke Diaspora/elites are a national disaster waiting to happen
2. Demography is Destiny: Armenians have stopped breeding, while Azerbaijanis have only increased their population advantage,
over Armenia since the previous war, allowing them the advantage of being able to absorb many more losses
3. Regional great powers/hegemons can and will impose new realities: Turkey is an expansionist regional power, thinking, for better or for worse, of itself as a new Ottoman

factor of 3 or 4 for more than a decade. Armenian combat experience/expertise could not bridge this gap beyond a certain point. Similarly, our high-altitude military experience can only go so far in bridging the massive gap in defence spending between us and China, not to mention
their vastly bigger military-industrial complex.
