In Chechnya Russian troops have wiped out a democratically elected government, killed tens of thousands of civilians, forced others out of refugee camps and back into the war zone, reduced the capital and every major town to rubble, indiscriminately rounded up the entire male populations of dozens of villages for torture or summary execution and so shattered the country's civil society that previously marginal Islamic extremists now are a major force.

I just think to myself are they really on drugs or someone just ordered them to publish this hallucination?...
:rolleyes:

Ah..so the Russians DIDNT use artillery on Grozny?

Knowing the Washington Post is owned by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon I wouldn't place a lot of trust in their journalistic integrity Boroda.
The Post is a shill for the right wing just as the New York Times is for the left.

You are confusing the Washington Post with the Washington Times. The Post is another Democratic party paper, like the NYT.
Boroda, it is a complement to have the Post say nasty things about your country.

Oops, your right.

So then, is the integrity of that article still lacking?

The papper can slant any article the way they want it.
people just to realise that it is not asw black and white as they want you to believe

" killed tens of thousands of civilians, forced others out of refugee camps and back into the war zone, reduced the capital and every major town to rubble"
You mean this part is not true?
-
Was this the Tzar, Stalin, or the present Government that did it ?
A good overall read on the history of the region.

Anyone see Boroda?

Eagler, you obviously never met many Russian women. The joke is old and out of date by some margin. The two I met last Friday were spectacularly beautiful. Certainly no Baboushkas. :cool:

Yes, we didn't carpet bomb it from stratosphere.
Can you tell me how Swedish army takes fortified cities? Maybe you just play snowballs with terrorists?
There were no civilians there in 1999, and federal troops gave two weeks for everyone to leave the city unarmed. I am happy they didn't send soldiers only with automats and bayonets there, and tanks without infantry cover like they did in 94.

Well, it reminds me of Soviet media.
Soviet joke from the 70s: Brezhnev and Carter had a racing competition. Next morning Pravda writes: "American president was next to last, comrade Secretary General was the second".
The funniest thing there is about "democratically elected government". Great. It's a joke of the month.
killed tens of thousands of civilians
The guys from Washington Post counted them, no doubt. Several hundreed thousands of non-Chechen refugees and people simply slaughtered and raped there since 91 don't count. Anyway the number is highly overestimated. It's exactly like someone on this board telling me about 120 millions of Soviet people killed by evil communist regime.
forced others out of refugee camps and back into the war zone
There is no war zone in Chechnya now. Federal goverment simply got tired of feeding people who refuse to take care of their own crap and waste, being too honorable and leaving it to Russian gyaur pigs. They are free to stay, but they'll have to take care of themselves.
reduced the capital and every major town to rubble
I already answered this one. If the enemy doesn't surrender - it has to be destroyed.
indiscriminately rounded up the entire male populations of dozens of villages for torture or summary execution
It's a lie. Just - a lie.
so shattered the country's civil society that previously marginal Islamic extremists now are a major force.
Civil society?! Islamic extremists are a major force? You mean - several hundreeds of terrorists and Arab mercenaries are a major force?!
Damn! (is this word still OK here?) More then 90% of Chechen population voted for a new constitution.
Now - some thoughts.
American press started an anti-Russian campaign. Many papers print anti-Russian materials as "advertisement", like famous letters from our "dissidents" written in 2001, where they accuse our president of "state antisemitism" and other deadly sins. Some "adds" even accuse federal government for kidnapping foreign doctors, actually kidnapped by Chechens. I have heard that they published a new "open letter to president Bush" by Boris Berezovsky, who is under investigation here for assisting terrorists and stealing 2000 cars from VAZ.
Looks like some forces in the West are interested in spoiling relations with Russia. I wonder why. I try to understand why Bush is so "friendly" with Putin, and who tries to raise hatred towards my country. :confused:

You really are brainwashed arent you? Odd, I thought that would end with the collapse of communism. Just out of curiosity, who feed you with these "truths"? Is it Russian media that has taken over the old TASS-role, or what?
Frightening actually...

Watched a show on Serbian television the other day. It was about Moscow people.
They interviewed a cab driver, who then told he spent some time in Chechnya.
What he said was that, in his opinion, Russians had no right to be there. He mentioned how Russians would drive with tanks over their own dead soldiers. They couldn't pick them up because of snipers so they were driving with tanks over dead bodies until there was nothing left. This way Chechens would have nothing to show as trophys.
(sorry for poor English)

Why not question him too strk? Oh wait you guys share the same opinion... :rolleyes:

he has already been corrected. the moonies run the washington times (and the failed "star" before that). Rev. moon thinks he is God, btw
the post, otoh is a real paper, although the repubs will never forgive them for breaking the watergate story
I dont see why you would think we share the same opinion, though

War is always brutal. The Russians are at "war" with Islamic extremists in very much the same way as the USA.
Now Chechnya used to "belong" to the USSR, and their borders are adjactent to Russia, - their style of fighting is via Terrorism.
I think that if Mexico was in a similar position, sending terrorists over the US borders, - blowing up things, assassinating people, and taking hostages and so on, the US would be all over Mexico.
(just for a geographical comparison)
However the Fighting style is different. The Russians have a reputation for roughness, while the US try to keep their face as the good guy, with their high precision weapons. Not to mention their forces having the international press on their heels......
And Boroda, you know perfectly well that a bomb from the stratosphere can be and mostly IS more accurate than the Russian artillery........:D
