[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It must be FSB. Expect huge military mobilization in Russia.[/quote]

Well.  That’s one way for Putin to get out of the conscription conundrum.

Guess he had to wait for his “election” to be over.

If Russians want a different future, they are going to need to find some courage to change things.  [/quote]

FSB will blame the attack on Ukrainians and Russians will believe this.[/quote]

It's the same script that Putin used to invade Chechnya.[/quote]

I am no fan of Putin but come on. Chechnya is and was part of Russia. Ukraine was given independence in 1991. I beg to differ! [/quote]

Russia colonized Chechnya in the 1800s.  They still speak their own language and have their own customs and traditions and religion.[/quote]
What a ridiculous response.
It’s been part of Russia since, duh! It’s like saying the U.S. invaded TX[/quote]

Well, more like if the U.S. had broken up in 1991 and we let California, Arizona and New Mexico go but then pulled Texas back in via a bloody war and an installed strongman despot governor.   And if Texas primarily spoke a different language, practiced a different religion and was viewed as different  race  from the eastern U.S.  then it would be more like that.  Have you ever heard Muscovites talk about chechens?  It is not nice.  When I went to Russia, I was expecting anti semitism.  The vast majority of Muscovite’s had no problem with Jews (and really envied the right of return as it was an easy way to leave Russia) but if they got started on Chechens or Muslims, it was pretty awful to hear.  They blamed everything on them.  I don’t hear people in DC talking about Texas that way![/quote]

Chechnya wasn’t a republic unlike the other 14 that were let go. So I stand corrected there in comparing it to a state. More like if a district or area suddenly wanted to be “independent”.

As for the talk about Chechens, unfortunately it’s well deserved. Of course there are good, educated people, but many of them emigrated early on. The vast majority is very backwardly religious and uneducated and/or are thugs. Sorry, the normal people of Chechnya! 
As for not letting them go - the process had to stop somewhere and it was best to nip it in the bud before other autonomous regions started to have ideas.
