Chechnyans have been reading the NYT again and got carried away with their reported success.

Perhaps the shirtless one was caught with his security pants down.

A group of gunmen attacked the “press House” in Downtown Grozny.

Russian troops responded.

Per TWitter, the building in on fire.

When I look at a map of Russia just on a precursory basis, they could let Chechny and Dagestan secede and it doesn’t seem like it would be a big deal. Good illustration showing Chechnya: http://media.web.britannica.com/eb-media/59/89859-004-58192155.gif 1.2 million people. All they’d need to do is keep an eye on them for any you know, wmds. Tiny countries, er territory, Chechnya is.

Mmm, something to distract the people from Russia’s failing economy?

“Mmm, something to distract the people from Russia’s failing economy?”

Sketchy info, but it sounds like a muzzie attack. Another score for the “religion of Peace”.

Aside from the Muslim, Infidel antagonisms; Chechnya and Russia have bbitter personal scores to settle.

This problem won't be solved by talks.
I think the Russians understand this, so this could get nasty - again. - Tom

“RUSSIAN tanks have spilt into the streets of Grozny and Moscow’s airspace appears to have been closed after a fresh outbreak of violence.

Unconfirmed local media reports suggest militants have seized control of the Press House media facility in Grozny, Chechnya, initiating what its Russian occupiers call an “anti terrorist operation”.

What's sketchy? The idea that Russia would start a new conflict in Chechnya to distract the people since they can't get the Ukrainians to budge? It's possible. The FSB is known to make use of criminal gangs to conduct terrorism on its behalf, if they do not do it themselves, in order to get what they want. Just see the apartment bombings in Moscow which were used to justify the last invasion of Chechnya, widely believed to be the work of the FSB.

Good Lord, I need to proof read. I seriesly thought that an explosion and heavy fighting erupted in NYC. But then I thought, wait, they have no guns!

If the ferals do riot, there will be ALOT of soul searching from liberals on the idiotic, systematic voting for gun control over the decades. I hope the country folk set up road blacks so that the liberalism disease doesn't escape the city and infect other placed like they did in Miami MSA.
