🇦🇲🇦🇿 - Azerbaijani president, Ilham Aliyev is mad at the armament of Armenia with "lethal weapons" increasing at an "alarming pace", citing France as a chief actor, as well as accusing the United States of secretly also supplying Armenia.
To give a brief background, Armenia and the Republic of Artsakh won the 1994 Nagorno-Karabakh war when Azerbaijan was still an infantile state. After decades of economic expansion chiefly based around Caspian sea oil, armament and foreign support, namely by Turkey, Israel, and Pakistan, as well as Turkey providing ample ground support with SNA mercenaries from Syria who were reportedly treated as cannon fodder, Azerbaijan came into ascendancy and occupied Artsakh.
As Armenia militarily recovers and expands, in the coming years it can once again pose a major threat to Azerbaijan and perhaps even retake Artsakh and more. In an age where invasions and territorial changes have started becoming the norm since the war in Ukraine, this is looking ever more likely.

That hurt tech stocks. For the past few weeks, the 10-year yield has traded between 1.72% and 2%, as traders moved into the bond for safety when Russia headlines were ugly—and out of it when headlines improved. Now, the yield is touching its pandemic-era high. If the yield breaks above that level, that could signal that it’s on a sustainable path higher. Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future. However, the perpetrators of such frauds are now adopting new methods and technologies to defraud the investors. "Someone posing as a Ukrainian citizen just joins the chat and starts spreading misinformation, or gathers data, like the location of shelters," Tsekhanovska said, noting how false messages have urged Ukrainians to turn off their phones at a specific time of night, citing cybersafety. The account, "War on Fakes," was created on February 24, the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" and troops began invading Ukraine. The page is rife with disinformation, according to The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which studies digital extremism and published a report examining the channel. Since January 2022, the SC has received a total of 47 complaints and enquiries on illegal investment schemes promoted through Telegram. These fraudulent schemes offer non-existent investment opportunities, promising very attractive and risk-free returns within a short span of time. They commonly offer unrealistic returns of as high as 1,000% within 24 hours or even within a few hours.
