      You mean, thanks to Israel selling drones to Azerbaijan? And thanks to the whole world denying its conacience on the Armenian Genocide, because even Turkey admits that it happened, and only disputes the numbers. Needless to say, Israel hipocritically disregards the Armenian Genocide.

    I am reminded of past conflicts by this video, though in a slightly oblique manner. From ancient historical writings, it was a common practice for opposing forces to line up facing each other, and hurl insults and incantations across the "No Man's Land" prior to actual battle. I imagine it was just as common in the Paleolithic, and may occured far into our future.
    We are such an infant species, for all of our wonder works of science and technology. We're still in the shitty diaper stage of conflict resolution by death count, and though there are no bodies yet, give it time. How much longer before we learn to sit down and actually talk and resolve our differences without fiery speeches and truncheon blows?

      We are still paleolithic creatures with paleolithic brains. From an evolutionary standpoint the day of the cave man.....was yesterday. We have not evolved any since then. We are just cave men with nukes and other advanced tools of destruction (wonder works of science and technology) Don't be deceived into thinking that we are different because of technology. Tools don't change our intentions, they amplify our intentions, letting us do the things we want to faster and harder.
      So, sadly it's not a matter of learning to be different. Rather, we need to EVOLVE to be different. Violence and murder are the tools we are designed to use and they served our ancestors well (otherwise we wouldn't have ended up wired to be this way, primates in general are more violent and murderey than other mamals)
      It's going to be a very VERY long time until we evolve out of this (Provided we survive that long as a species)

      You are a propaganda account. You are trying to warp peoples minds into thinking it is not ok to protest for better living conditions. Sometimes violent protests and even uprisings are necessary for positive change. Americans would be slaves of the British if it wasn't for the 1776 uprising. A few years of civilian uprising gave us a bill of rights that has endured for centuries. Freedom is paid for with blood. Am I saying the people in this video should rebel. No. It is up to them, the people of that country, to decide what is best for them. It is up to them to decide if it is worth rebelling, and losing human lives, in exchange for a possibility of a new and better government. We are not in that country, going through what they are going through. We have no right to judge them.

    Дед Агван
    Я не видал родных дедов,
    И видеть мог едва ли:
    Все до рождения моего
    Они поумирали.
    Но я не обделён судьбой,
    Я всё равно счастливый.
    Был рядом дед, пусть не родной,
    Но горячо любимый.
    Он был нерусский - из армян,
    С деревни, из народа -
    Агван Тиграныч Григорян,
    Двадцать шестого года.
    Он был герой и ветеран -
    Такой, что прямо с книжки -
    Для всех. А я ему кидал
    За шиворот ледышки.
    Я про войну всё с детства знал -
    Ведь дед, без всякой лажи,
    Мне каждый день преподавал
    С тарелкой манной каши.
    Всё было так: он мирно пас
    Овец у Арарата.
    И вдруг взяла пошла на нас
    Немецкая армада,
    Чтобы ни русских, ни армян
    Здесь не было в природе,
    Но тут подъехал дед Агван,
    И он был резко против.
    Подъехал, правда, не один…
    Стекались, словно реки,
    Туда и тысячи грузин,
    Казахи и узбеки…
    Разноязыкою толпой
    Они в окопы сели.
    И в тех окопах всей гурьбой
    Мгновенно обрусели.
    Вместо овец на этот раз
    Другие были звери.
    И дед в прицел свой
    «Тигра» пас, крутил хвоста «Пантере»…
    По-русски с ним общенье шло
    Сперва не идеально,
    Но фразу «Башню сорвало»
    Он понимал - буквально.
    Я с дедом мог тарелки три
    Съедать той самой каши,
    Внимая, как они пошли
    На Запад пешим маршем.
    И, как всегда, в который раз
    В итоге накидали…
    А дальше шёл такой рассказ,
    Как в слёзном сериале:
    «Берлин. Апрель. Земля дрожит.
    Снаряды, пули - градом…»
    И дед по улице бежит
    С трофейным автоматом.
    Кругом - разбитые дома,
    Как гор кавказских гребни.
    С собой у деда пять гранат,
    Вдруг глядь : на куче щебня
    Лежит, скулит от страшных ран,
    Один, как щепка в шторме,
    Такой же, как и он, пацан,
    Но лишь в немецкой форме.
    И тычет деду на окно,
    Руками объясняет,
    Что он у дома своего
    Лежит и помирает.
    Что там родители его,
    Что он берлинский, местный,
    Его войною домело
    До своего подъезда.
    И дед поверх своих поклаж
    Хоть был не сильный самый,
    Взвалил его, и на этаж -
    Туда, где папа с мамой,
    Где взрывом балку повело,
    Где теплится лампада:
    «Встречайте, фрау, своего
    Немецкого солдата»…
    Дед, говоря про этот миг,
    Вдруг сразу изменялся:
    Про страшный материнский крик,
    Про то, как там остался.
    Как в кухне, где горел шандал,
    Воды ему нагрели,
    Как с грязью ненависть смывал
    За годы и недели,
    Как спал на белых простынях
    Среди войны и ада
    И видел сны о мирных днях
    В долине Арарата.
    Как утром снова он пошёл
    К победной близкой дате,
    Услышав сзади «Danke schon»,
    Ответив им «Прощайте»…
    Тут я перебивал всегда,
    Дослушивал едва ли:
    «Дедуня, что за ерунда?
    Давай, как вы стреляли!
    Давай, как ты горел в огне,
    Чуть не погиб на мине…» -
    Неинтересно было мне
    Про простыни в Берлине.
    Но дед чего-то замолкал,
    Шёл за добавкой каши
    И кашу снова в рот толкал,
    Чтоб стал быстрей я старше…
    Его уж нет, а я большой.
    И вдруг я докумекал:
    В тот день был самый главный бой
    За звание человека.
