maturin 12 Posted March 30, 2010 It matters that his so-called proclamation of independence was nothing but armed mutiny against legitimate authority. It is a crime. In all countries. Well now we've got a real wide brush. As I recall that's how the Bolsheviks took over, and they had less support than Dudayev. Soviet authority had not been legitimate for years. For most Chechens, no doubt it had never been. For them, Russians arrived as conquerors and tried to destroy their people completely with exile to a desert thousands of miles away. Dudayev grew up in Kazakhstan. Neither was violent resistance unheard-of during the USSR's collapse. There is no line that can be drawn between Chechnya and Azerbaijan. What makes the former deserving of independence and the latter not? The potential violence of the situation should have been obvious. The USSR was incapable of resolving the dispute without force, which made their authority even less legitimate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nodunit 397 Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) Very well said, and quite possibly the best post I have ever read on this forum. It is just a shame that this post will be ignored for the sake of continuing discussion by way of broken record. Edited March 30, 2010 by NodUnit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gulag 10 Posted March 31, 2010 I don't think it is time for us to argue on who is right and who is wrong, most wars are politicians decision and consequences of war are on the back of ordinary people, what happened in Moscow is the consequence of a war without any sense. God rest in peace those who were killed there I think this is the only thing we should write on this thread about what happened in Moscow, the rest are useless discussions.

spooky lynx 73 Posted March 31, 2010 There are some photos of suicide-bombers available. Damn... One of them is just a girl about 18-19 years old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted March 31, 2010 Yes, they are called Black Widows, because they have lost Brothers or Husbands during russian Actions. There you see violence creates only more violence. This Attack made the russian People cry for revenge, so I think there will ´be some Actions against Terrorists soon. And there will be widows again. Its really hard to break this circle of violence :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spooky lynx 73 Posted March 31, 2010 They aren't black widows. Most of them hadn't lost any relatives, but had given in to recruiters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iroquois Pliskin 0 Posted March 31, 2010 The demolition of apartment buildings of 1999 spring to mind; discussion will continue to be rather boring. The next mujahead to be killed in any part of Caucasus will be sold to be the mastermind behind this. Yawn, wake me up on this subject when KGB Colonel V.V.

Tonci87 163 Posted March 31, 2010 Well in the News (Germany) they refered to them as black widows who had lost their family becuase of russian actions. Maybe the russian media doesn´t tell you everything (wouldn´t be the first time) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

armydude 10 Posted April 1, 2010 The Russian army committed massacres in Chechnya, let them taste some of it So 1 Nuke launched + another nuke launched = everything ok? Nope. It just causes more fighting. What happened if one morning you woke up, got a cup of coffee started to drive to work and then BOOM? A terrorist planted a roadside bomb and you were one of the victims. And this all happened of some other man's choices. You had no choice,it was just another regular day. It doesn't matter what country your from, what religion you belong to, what language you speak, it shouldn't need to happen to anyone. /rant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

celery 8 Posted April 1, 2010 But maybe the german media tells you only what you need to know but not what happened really? If we apply Occam's razor, it's more likely that the Russian media is the one concealing the truth. They have a very long tradition of doing it, and reporters such as Anna Politkovskaya mysteriously get killed if they try to reveal the truth. That doesn't happen in the western world.

maturin 12 Posted April 1, 2010 It is like a cold war,which have no near end as i see.need of diplomatic solution. Only political problems can have diplomatic solutions. There's need of a demographic solution. The population needs to be able to make a living and not live in fear. Only then can the radicalism be contained. Grozny has been rebuilt, but it's ruled by a butcher, so they're working on the former while smothering the latter with a pillow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
