Well shoot... Russia is a big believer in separatist movements... I totally expect Russia to be magnanimous about this whole shebang... (holding breath)

Sowing the wind, reaping the whirlwind, whatever cliches you want to use. I did note that the Russians are consistent in one thing:

The death of Magomed Yevloyev, an outspoken Kremlin critic...Ingush officials passed the death off as an accident.

"Outspoken Kremlin critic" remains a very high-risk job.

Ethnic groups and tense provinces WITHIN Russia are taking Putin’s rationale for invading Georgia and running with it...ala Chechnya.

Putin may have opened a Pandora’s box within is own borders.

No wonder he has to spend so much propoganda time looking strong and staging fake tiger shots on TV:

Price of oil is $100/bbl and sinking, btw...
Good for the Kremlin? Nyet.

Difference is that Putin will just kill all of them.

Remember, the Soviets perfected anti partisan warfare. They couldn’t do it in Afghanistan because the world was watching, but after WWII they pretty much wiped out the various “Forest Brethren” pretty quick.

Let’s recognize them as independent. That will send a message to the Russians.
