"actually, abetter way would be for Ukraine to revive the guerilla-style Partisan Campaign of WWII"

That worked out so well for the Chechens who now find themselves fighting for Russia. The Russians don't play footsies with insurgents the way that America does because they actually want to win the wars that they get into.

Chechens didn’t have a near-unlimited supply of the most-modern weapons and surveillance equipment

Ukraine does

this could work

What about the Nazis? I don’t think they were playing footsie with Soviet partisans behind the lines in WWII...

This is true, and you are quite observant in recognizing it, Redneck.

If anything, you have slightly understated the control Russia has over Chechens.

They (and their families) live, die and kill without question, at the whim of Russian authority , and Russia is the only entity that has accomplished this, ever with Chechens.
