As much as I want the Azeris to face the wrath of the international community, I'd prefer if NATO stayed away from Artsakh. Besides, they'd likely just let the genocidal bastards in Baku keep it.

They'll just selectively define what counts as a genocide. Similar to how no one officially declares war anymore

Artsakh is, on paper, part of Azerbaijan.

Also Azerbaijan has oil so we would be glad to intervene.

And that would spark the wrath of Turkey, and I don't think we want another shitshow in my homeland, do we? Especially in these...uncertain times.

It seems this particular bunch of Americans have a tendency to mix "national freedom and sovereignty" of their allies with "American interest"

Never understood the point of declaring war. Removes the element of surprise. Was it like a "gentlemenly" thing to do, honorable or something?

It's US, man. We'll probably coup Turkey first. Even if it fails, it happened, and then the Azeris can taste JASSMs. YEEEEE HAWWW

Scenario: War is underway between YN and a fictional nation committing genocide against it's people. The nation has the strength roughly of modern day Italy. What would be your first targets in an air campaign?

Oh shit.

Seriously though, roughly Italy's strength. Would civilians be targets, for example?
