So, have those in Chechnya shot rockets at Russian cities? Have they flown airliners into the financial heart of Moscow or significant government buildings? When was the last time you heard of someone being beheaded in Chechnya for being a Jew or a Christian or, even being a Communist? You know, there are some who claim that the "rebellion in Chechnya" is a construct of the GRU, and was actually started by military brass still reporting to the Kremlin who were simply manipulating the locals by play acting as "war lords." Certainly, it's hard to prove and hard to refute. There have also been claims that the "war in Chechnya" is nothing more than a huge live fire exercise to train the new "Red Army" for a much larger mission, or, alternatively, to provide cover for strategic military preparations. Indeed, such claims are also not well supported by anything you or I have access to, but they raise interesting questions do they not? Are you familiar with "The Perestroika Deception", by Anatoliy Golitsyn? It raises many other interesting questions regarding the "collapse of the USSR" and the purported "end of the Cold War." What if?.....
