Any talk about pressuring Russia into resolving or appeasing Chechen Islamists (at least the ones not allied with Russia) is a silly waste of time. Because we in the US no longer have any leadership willing to stand up and say the following:
On Feb. 4, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia.
He said:
"In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland, and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are NOT Russians!"
The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a standing ovation that lasted for five full minutes . . . . . .
Admittedly I haven't verified this, but the basics match what I have heard of Putin, and should be the guidepost of all Western Civilizations. Get the Islamist usurpers out of our government!
