Putin is targeting the 2,500 Chechens in Syria, the most dangerous fighters in the opposition to Assad.
Putin said he is going to wipe them out, that there is no negotiating with them.
He said he going to make a safe enclave in Syria for Christians.
All this is completely beyond the US media, who don’t know who the Chechens are
and don’t give a (blank) about the Christians.
Where has Putin said these things?
