Still waiting for Russia's response. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, assuming this is just a mourning period before they retaliate.
And how you expect Russia to retaliate? Take several hundred Chechen children as hostages? It could help, to some extend-or vicewerse, local population will rise a riot never seen before. Total henocide? Desision it is. And even took place-in 1944, all Chechens were sent to Kazakhstan for mass betrayal; now it's described as one of Stalin's crimes. Attac Chechen bases in Georgia? There are american soldiers, and US won't ever let Russia do it. Attac Saudi Arabia and Iordania? What would lord Judd say, as well as US again? Russia now is not as strong as US'2003 and even not strong as USSR'80. Unfortunately, we have to settle almost every our move with Western countries, which often behave contradictory.
