Are you serious? So, you think helping the Chechens is the solution. The Islamist Chechens who are part of the greater Al Queda network, who view the Russians and the US as different sides of the same problem. Those Chechens. The same Chechens that would kill you the same way they would kill a Russian.
Yep, the solution is to help terrorists.
A sage would say 'then lets give the Georgians what they need.' Or Poland. A non-sage would advocate for help to the Chechens.
I am curious as to what assistance you would want to go to the Chechens.
“Yep, the solution is to help terrorists.”
Umph ... we did this “my enemies enemy is my friend” game much too often and ended up with things turning even worse on the long run.
Remember what happened after we gave stingers anti-aircraft missiles to the taliban to fight the russians ? In the long run we’ve got 911.
We’ve kicked Irans first and only democratic gouvernment in the 50s because they won’t give their oil for free and installed a dictator, the sha of persia. They kicked him in a revolution in 79 and things went even worse for both the US and Iran.
I could continue this with many other countries. Chile, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, etc. US foreign politics in overturning a other nations gouvernment always (except Germany and Japan) messed things up in the long run.
For me the solution would be easy. Get our troops home and flatten the whole middle east with B-52s.
Yup. We went down that path before helping Bin Laden kill Russian kids. We have a bigger threat running our lives now.
Mainly thanks to stupid serfs watching TV and ball games where Corn Cob U is playing St. John’s of Satan (aka Notre Dame abortion school).
