I wasn’t sure if this was a P&E question or not.  
[Inspired by this article](https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/top-armenian-official-unhappy-with-response-russian-led-alliance-interfax-2022-09-16/) and Russia’s recent setbacks.

From my limited reading, it seemed to me that if Russia abandoned Armenia, Turkey and Azerbaijan would start invading. Were that to happen, should the US or a coalition of nations step in? And for how long?

I feel we (the US) obviously should on humanitarian grounds if nothing else given the Armenian/Turkish history, but I’m curious if anyone feels otherwise or even if there’s a question there.
