Col. Kurtz 0 Posted August 23, 2002 Thanks for the links Desantnik, It was pretty sad to see that the Russians were still using a lot of T-62's. They should have been dicomissioned years ago, and their places taken by T-80s and T-90s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like Finland, the baltic countries and so on. The situation there is very much fucked up, and you don't hear much news from there because Russians won't tell you much. However, the chechens have my sympathy on this. Calling them terrorists is stupid. Why won't you call them guerilla or resistance fighters?<span id='postcolor'> Because over 80% of the Chechnyan people just voted for autonomy and not independence from Russia. (Mods: I thought it better to revive this thread than to start a new one on the same subject, especially since it would be interesting now, with the latest news of the Chechnyan vote, to see some responses from people who thought otherwise).

Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted March 24, 2003 Sorry Avon, but the rules are very clear cut on these issues Mummified threads should remain dead and a new one should be started instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
