Well then it may interest you to know that the Chechens allied themselves with the Germans in WW2.

"Although the German front never made it to the border of Chechnya, an active guerrilla movement threatened to undermine the Soviet defenses of the Caucasus (noted writer Valentin Pikul' claims in his historical account Barbarossa that while the city of Grozny was being prepared for a siege in 1942, all of the air bombers stationed on the Caucasian front had to be directed at quelling the Chechen insurrection instead of fighting the German siege of Stalingrad). As well, incidents of covert German airdrops into Chechnya and interceptions of radio exchanges between German and Chechen rebels were frequent."

Please remind me who was the first to join Hitler against Poland. The first Nazi allies?

Stop spending US money on your anti-Russian agenda.

This statement is just ridiculous. Firstly it is USA, the country which wants to spend its own money and we didn’t make any decisions yet wherever we agree. Secondary this project has little to do with Russia.
