“but Russia should have cut Chechnya loose when the USSR collapsed, instead of beating it into submission, losing 30,000 troops in the process and killing God knows how many Chechen civilians
Yeah, except for the fact I doubt Russia wanted to be held hostage by a bunch of radical Islamic nutcases for the oil and gas they send Europe...via a pipeline.”

It’s a chicken or egg type situation. Would Chechnya have been so radical if it had simply been cut loose in 1991? Maybe it’s anger at being chained to the Russian Federation that has fueled jihadi wrath. Chechnya has become Russia’s Ireland. The best is yet to come.

I’m pretty sure that place doesn’t exist....
