Chechen Teen Bride Scandal Puts Putin In Bind

Don’t think Sharia law is not there in full force, this is a recent scandal over there.
Personally, since Chechnya is on the outer reaches of Russia, I think they should let it go along with other similar states of Russia. They fought two wars there for what? Oil? I’m unsure. Russia already has lots of oil and they basically have a sort of puppet there in Kadyrov. Just letting these states go might have some effect on the demographics.
Why don’t we allow California to leave the Union and become a part of Mexico? Same thing applies to Chechnya which is why they’re not permitted to leave the Federation.
Somewhere I read, maybe Pat Buchanan said it himself, that Russian Nationalists read Pat’s books. Pat of course, has written books like “Suicide of a Superpower” and “Death of the West”. Maybe the speech was not really made but reading it, it does seem to reflect this about some things Buchanan has said.
But as I point out, as so many Russophiles or Putinistas seem to ignore, Russia too, certainly has its problems.
Off-topic a bit,
An interesting article on one of the co-founders of RT who was found dead in a hotel in Washington DC last November:
I guess, the investigation has not in fact, pronounced an actual cause of death yet after 2 months.
