I get you're just trying to be funny, but also the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict goes back a very long time and has flared up many times over decades. This conflict's import to world powers is not zero, but it's also not a lot, and the risks of that conflict spreading to other countries is essentially nil.
Half joking, but I do think all these separate events with superpowers backing smaller states is increasing global tensions and risking a step closer to a red line somewhere.
Not sure Russia is a superpower anymore. Just the US and China now.
They still have nukes.
So does a bunch of smaller countries, having nukes is not the definition of a super power.
There's a non zero chance that Iran would intervene.
