Ah yes those Chechen radicals that were always on the side of USA government.

The same ones that want impose a radical state in the state of Chechen.
I see the Separatist Movement that USA are in Ukraine.
Not a majority of them.

By the way most of them went in Syria agaisnt Assad, Russia.
Their side didnt win in Syria.

The Islamisation of the Chechen Separatist Movement

‘We’re fighting for a free future’: the Chechen battalions siding with Kyiv

That same movement that seeks radicalism in chechnya.

I wonder who will the USA call in next? AQ?

This war in Ukraine is not about saving Ukrainian lives or Democracy.

Its about exporting the resources from Ukraine, Ukraine is rich in number of resources that US wants.

The important resource US wants from Ukraine and they want titanium.

The country has abundant reserves of coal, iron ore, natural gas, manganese, salt, oil, graphite, sulfur, kaolin, titanium, nickel, magnesium, timber, and mercury.

Ukraine has the largest amount of resources of titanium next to the South American countries.

That is why US wants in Ukraine.


dont be fooled into believing this all about Ukrainian people, freedom, Democracy, Peace.

"Ukraine has the largest amount of resources of titanium next to the South American countries.

Ummm... you do realize the Don Don of tik toks himself is a Muslim right?

How can you have 'Islamisation' of Chechen separatists, when they are fighting an Islamic regime and leader, living in an Islamic leaning country and are mostly Islamic themselves?

Thats like saying the fish that are eating the other fish are becoming fishier.

They have been there since 2014
not exactly breaking news

Haven’t Russia already deployed about 20,000 Chechens? This is odd news. I mean I know the Chechens like a rumble, but fighting for both sides seems strange even for them. If I were Ukraine I might say thanks, but we’re good.

Per your link.

Fighters of Dzhokhar Dudayev battalion oppose Putin and his strongman Ramzan Kadyrov as they battle with Ukrainian prejudice

Battalion - Wikipedia
A battalion is a military unit, typically consisting of 300 to 1,200 soldiers commanded by a lieutenant colonel, and subdivided into a number of companies (usually each commanded by a major or a captain ). In some countries, battalions are exclusively infantry, while in others

I don't think one battalion represents the whole of Chechnya.

300 to 1200 men aren't going to make too much difference.


There are Chechen fighters on the Russian side as well.

The Kremlin-backed Ramzan Kadyrov’s infamous Chechen militia is a well-known entity.

The article from 2018 says Russian tanks have been upgraded to be capable of using depleted uranium munitions. I'm still not finding any information that Russia has used it in Ukraine and I think the media would be all over that.

I take it you don't read many of my posts.

Honestly I'm surprised the Chechens have operated as Putin's loyal shock troops for so long. Putin literally came to power by subjugating the Chechen people. If anyone knows what being oppressed by the Russian military feels like, it's the Chechens.

Well the USSR killed 1/3 the population in Ukraine too and sent 100,000s to "camps" to get reeducated and to die on top of it all.

thanks for the link

Putin has said when the tanks arrive and begin firing spent uranium ammunition he will consider it a nuclear escalation and respond in kind.

Depleted uranium was banned a long time ago .
So , yes .

a reply to: Cutepants

It's OK for Russia to use depleted uranium

Please cite sources .

Any firearm has the ability to fire depleted uranium .
Nothing special required other than the rounds in the proper caliber .

Did the US not get the memo on its ban yet?

US refuses to say if Ukraine will receive toxic depleted uranium ammunition for Bradleys

[www.firstpost.com...]

The amount of devastation caused by the Depleted Uranium (DU) weaponry used against Iraq since the Gulf War is historically unprecedented in modern warfare and its effects on the environment and human population are catastrophic.

[ejatlas.org...]

The United States Used Depleted Uranium in Syria

[foreignpolicy.com...]

According to news reports, several US weapons that shoot DU rounds have been used in combat in Afghanistan.

[www.wise-uranium.org...]

The use of depleted uranium weapons is again causing concern. The people of Kosovo have been alarmed to discover that the conflict there has left radioactive contamination, just as it did in Kuwait nine years ago.

I smell outside influence(money/weapons), and it stinks to high heaven of the scent of the cia.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Let's pretend to overlook the fact that the West(NATO) has been advancing their position towards Russia ever since the fall of the Berlin wall, something they explicitly said they wouldn't do and knew exactly how Russia would respond to continued aggressive advance, which they eventually did.


All the while invading smaller countries where they exchanged resources for 'freedom' under false pretenses like wmd's and Bin Laden masterminding 9/11.

Why was Libya destroyed again and its oil resources divided up between companies like Total and BP even before the war started?

Still, I suppose that means nothing to you and the West has purely altruistic reasons for pushing for a nuclear WW3 with Russia through Ukraine as a proxy for which they care nothing in reality seeing as a peace deal right now could stop the daily 1000 Ukrainians from dying, right?

I guess that is an irrelevant tally and requires the current state of escalation.

Do you honestly think China will look at the current situation and remain uninvolved for much longer.

Russia is their biggest and much needed ally.

You think they're just going to patiently wait in line until the West shows up on their doorstep to tell them of their lord and savior globalism as dictated by the West?

a reply to: nugget1

Why would the media be all over it? And you're telling me they just make ammo for no reason and don't plan to use it?

a reply to: Gothmog

I already did. Now how about you cite your sources saying depleted uranium was banned a long time ago?

a reply to: 19Bones79

The notion that "NATO has been advancing" is an argument supporting colonialism.

By saying those countries could not of their own will choose their own foreign policies and choose which other countries they choose to enter into treaties and alliances with ... is effectively saying they should be nothing but colonies of Russia.

That mentality is straight out of the 19th century. Let's get past the idea that Russia (or Germany) has some God-granted privilege to colonize bordering countries.

Let's not pretend to overlook that, eh?

And BTW, doing a re-run of 1930s appeasement is a non-starter. It didn't work then, it won't work now.

Cheers
