What I don't understand is why the US has not sided firmly with Russia in this struggle.

"What I don't understand is why the US has not sided firmly with Russia in this struggle."

What *I* don't understand is Russian military support for Syria, Iran, China, etc etc.

That's their problem. They didn't support our WoT, let 'em fight their own battles. Screw the Russkies.

I think the closest we got to the Chechen War, so far, was 2-3 years ago when we sent special forces to Georgia to "train" their special forces. Georgia borders Russia (close to the Chechen region), and I believe our forces were there to help keep the Chechens out.

Because Russia hasn't decided to side fully enough with us on Iran or Syria I suspect.

Just a guess on my part, and that isn't worth much.

Probaly for the same reason our glorious leaders still support the muzzies in Kosovo as they commit genocide against Christians.

Because Russia does not stand squarely with the US in this struggle.

To the contrary, it sends advanced arms to Syria, intrigues against us in the UN, while equipping Iran with Nuclear power, and, at the same time, tries very hard to get us kicked out of the countries whose co operation is essential to the WOT.

Screw Putin. Its the old reap what you sow thing.

Probably because Putin does not back us on Iran and Syria.
