other than some mercs might have been american citezens
The public doesn't have the stomach to see American men killed in combat to settle regional disputes. And the MIC has realized there is much more money to be gained by selling arms and providing training than open combat. Better to let locally trained militias fight until you're out of office and let the next admin handle it.
wouldnt it just be a generally better thing to train your side to fight rather than let your own troops die for your sides fight?
That's the point of buying the required percentage into NATO, you share that cost instead of dedicating over 40% of your budget to training to fight. Most of these countries have barely stable economies, much less the excess GDP that goes to building these weapons systems.
we are training ukranian soilders does that mean we are fighting a war against russia?
Not in the sense that we have kids getting called up from small town Kansas for the purpose of clearing villages for an unpopular minority rule government in some foreign corner of the world, no.

The azeri getting punished
any military asistance they might have received was simply payment for use of the base location and to keep quiet about it
and once the cover was blown on that whole rendition thing they sorta abandoned those bases
I'm not sure who all was around during early Iraq invasion days where there was talk that Turkey wasn't going to allow Incirlik as a staging area, but here we are.

🚨The Armenian Foreign Ministry has information on the transfer of terrorist mercenaries from Turkey to Azerbaijan: Foreign Ministry press secretary Anna Naghdalyan.
I hope Erdogan gets his ass whipped for this crap he's pulling.
And don't forget Erdogan also had his diplomatic protection staff (aka hired thugs) assault americans in DC during his visit a few years ago. Lots of dislike of the Turks all around
