Putin’s top war bloggers — with millions of followers — are calling for war against another neighbor.
They say Azerbaijan is “the next Ukraine.”
And they want to strike before it joins NATO.
Do they speak for Putin?
Maybe. 🧵
2/ On July 20, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev told Ukraine:
“Never accept Russian occupation.”
He also blamed Russia for a December plane shootdown that killed 38 civilians — and vowed to sue Moscow in international court.
Russian war bloggers went ballistic.
3/ These aren’t fringe voices.
They’re Putin-aligned influencers with millions of followers, often used to float Kremlin policy.
Their demand:
“Only force will change Aliyev’s mind.”
“Conflict with Azerbaijan is inevitable.”
4/ Russia still hasn’t forgiven Baku for its 2023 blitz reclaiming Nagorno-Karabakh from its ally Armenia — while Russian troops were on the ground.
That war shattered Moscow’s credibility in the Caucasus.
Now, they want revenge.
5/ The tensions are boiling:
🇷🇺 Russian raids killed Azerbaijanis in June
🇦🇿 Baku retaliated by arresting Russia’s Sputnik staff
✈️ Russian defenses likely shot down a civilian plane
📢 Azerbaijan backed Ukraine’s war aims
Russia's media machine says: "Enough."
6/ Why does this matter?
Because Azerbaijan is backed by NATO-ally Turkey — and together they’re forming a Turkic alliance across Central Asia.
And now even Armenia is trying to get rid of Russia.
3/ The arbitration board just made up new contract terms out of thin air. The goal? Bury Lindell, discredit the evidence, and silence election fraud claims.
Trump just landed trade deals with Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Billions in investment. Massive new markets. Tariffs that FAVOR the U.S.
This isn’t just trade policy.
It’s the Trump Doctrine in action.
🧵 A thread:
