That assertion raises several questions: is Kadyrov seeking to round up the entire male population between 17 and 28 and ship them out of Chechnya to serve elsewhere in Russia in order to deprive the North Caucasus resistance of potential recruits?<<<
The Chechnya citizens are not happy with Kadyrov, they say he is serving Russia and not Chechnya.
I can imagine Kadyrov wanting to deplete any of an age to fight back. Which will entice more to join the radical jihadis.
They have always felt that way.
To me there are 3 classes of citizens, the ‘real ones’, the radicals who came in to take over, after the big war with Russia and the Russia supporters, which of course contains Chechen people and the usual Russians that were moved in by the Russians to take over the country.
I still have a lot to learn, as I knew almost nothing about Chechnya, until I went looking for the articles on Nord Ost Theater and talked to Svni, a survivor of Nord Ost, who lost her daughter there and her American fiancee. [sp?]
Svni is /was a freeper and you should find the early threads that were posted by Struwwelpeter. [Which I may have also mis-spelled]
Well, he is serving Russia. And it provides the Chechnya army with "jobs". Makes me think of Dems and their love of Minimum Wage and what that does to any location, over time. There's an initial influx of cash; but the entire area becomes depressed as the leverage of cash ultimately suppresses market activity and growth. Unfortunately, the same holds true in re Chechnya and "jobs" via Russia's army.

I'm so sorry for Svni's losses. By ridiculous contrast, I was in CA during the Nord Ost massacre, and hearing my mother-in-law complaining how she/her group of friends had planned on visiting Russia that year but because of that Evil George Bush, now they couldn't go. I retorted that Russia was a huge country, she'd be fine, she should stay out of the theatres.
The contrast between the two events, one in which innocent people were being massacred, and the other - my mil's excuse to beat up on George Bush as a reason for her not visiting Russia couldn't have more perfectly illustrated BDS for me. Drat that George Bush, making evil people massacre innocents so that my mil's vacation should be derailed. aaaaaaaahhhhh!

I too have much to learn. I was up to my eyeballs in other projects at the time and could only afford to pay nominal attention. I'm getting fairly caught up, just perusing the Georgian threads.
Svni, I'll remember that name. Thank you nw_arizona granny.

Some are, some are not. But who really cares, Muslims always complain.
