"If Krakow rebelled and declared independence Polish troops would be quashing it"
You are again making a fool of yourself. Chechnya is an ethnically different country. It's always been Chechen land, not Russian. Can't you see it?
No, you can't. I'm wasting my time.
You're the fool - there are over 100 ethnicities in the Russian Federation and they have been a part of Russia for centuries - they all had leaders who pledged allegience to Russia and fought and bled for Russia starting centuries ago and continuing to this day. They also enjoy full citizenship rights and privleges. You cannot understand this, or refuse to. Most of New Mexico in the US is Mexican - should they be allowed to rebel and join Mexico?
"It's always been Chechen land, not Russian."
Hmm, Danzig, Olysztyn, etc??????
There is few American freaks in this forum who are more Russian than the worst type of Russian nationalists. Remember that in fact they arent Russian, no matter what they are talking about. I suggest you to ignore them.
