The war in Ukraine has left us with a lot of news stories, but perhaps one of the most curious and one that few people have stopped to really consider, is that Chechnya has sent troops to Ukraine. In theory, Chechnya is just another part of Russia, so this should not be news, but it turns out that things are not so straightforward.
This region has a long history of conflicts and has not exactly had a good relationship with Russia throughout its history. There have been everything from Chechen genocides, to collaborations with the Nazis to get rid of Russia. Now Kadyrov wants to pay Putin back for all the money Putin has given him to stay in power by supporting him in Ukraine. But the feared Chechen army is not what it seems either.
Does Chechnya have an army parallel to Russia? How was the Chechen conflict resolved? How effective are the Kadyrovites? Is Chechnya really loyal to Putin?

Interesting video. Quick point of clarification. Chechnya’s independence was denied in the early 1990s because it was an autonomous republic of Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. It was not a full top-level Soviet Republic, like Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan, etc. it therefore didn’t have a recognised right to independence. That said, Chechnya is definitely one to watch.
Was that the same for Dagestan ?
No Dagestan is the same as Chechnya.
Hello, Professor! Love your channel, high quality content. It's nice to see you there. And you've got the point. Since 1859, when Chechnya was incorporated into Russia, there were only a few short-lived periods of proclaimed independence during the Civil War which ended by 1920.
@@zackarybourbonnais1178 Yes, the Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was also an autonomous republic of the Russian SFSR.
Great to see you here sir!
This video went so far as tsar time, but failed to mention Chechen deportation of 1944, when all Chechens were moved from home to inhospitable areas of Kazakhstan. 1/4 of them perished as a result.
This was one the main drivers of resentment towards Russia.
that's what basically Russia has been doing throughout all its history. They deported most of the Crimean Tatars in 1944 to the far-East regions in Russia. They moved large portions of Ukrainians from the Eastern regions of Ukraine to other regions in Russia during the Soviet time and doing it now since 2014. Tactics is simple - deportation of the locals, moving Russians on their places to cultivate some kind of Russian world there to justify future invasions
@@DD-kk9jj Yeah, the list is going on and on. Deportation of Volga Germans, Koreans from far East. And those are only total deportations.
Deportations of Poles from Belarus and Ukraine, massive deportations from Baltic countries to Siberia.
And those are crimes against other ethnicities only. Russians also were massively forcebly moved inside the country.
This and the Caucasian Conquest that resulted in a far worse genocide against them. And he also forgot to mention the wars in the 90s and 00s that amounted to a genocide that was even worse than the 1944 deportation. These people had every right to fight for their freedom and independence. Russia has been and is a colonial aggressor
@@mr.x653
When it comes to colonialism, I don't think anyone has a lesson to teach.lmao
@@mr.x653 Exactly just as America brought freedom and independence to Afghanistan, so too will it be for Chechnya, as soon as evil Russia falls..
If the father was considered a traitor and was assassinated in a year, how is the son avoiding the same fate?
By betraying his own father. Real shit person
Money. He bought off some of his enemies and those how couldn't had to deal with a army that was funded by Russia and only had to focus on them and not Russia.
also, he is getting not only money, i am sure Putins KGB helped to deal with kadyrov enemies. They were the ones who found them and Kadyrov just sended his forces to eliminate any opposition or rivals.
@@TuckerLT They been fighting Russians for decades how would Putin threaten them?
Simple. Because the son is willing to cooperate.
Chechens are more like Scottish highlanders than Sicilian gangsters. In Scotland some clans are fiercely independent while other clans swear loyalty to the UK
You know how did they earn money in time they were almost independent? Drug trafficking, kidnapping and extortion.
@@dakedakinson64 Scots burned down the city of york and slaughtered its english inhabitants - so I see no difference.
@@icysaracen3054 no they did not, who told you that stupid lie?
Work on English tenses, and perhaps highland/lowland behaviour by century distinction required.
@@dakedakinson64 omg really? 😱 bad, not convincing at all, work harder bot, otherwise putin will send you to the frontline in Bakhmut 🤣
All the more reason why Putin doesn't mind using them as cannon fodder.
Cannon fodder? They are preforming extremely well from all accounts. Keep youre feelings out of the facts.
@@mcnally211 hiding behind the front lines making tiktoks is not fighting.
@@mcnally211 I'm not taking about their performance in Ukraine. I'm saying who do you think Putin views as being more expendable, Chechens or somebody from Moscow/St. Petersburg?
@@mcnally211 seems you're getting emotional buttercup! Cannon fodder is nice 👍
@@mcnally211 yeah, extremely well as cannon fodder
I like your videos and theyre normally balanced but this one is a little strange, you mention a few incidents by some extremists but none of the much larger gross atrocities carried out by putins troops against Chechen civilians....you also insinuate that putins hand was forced, when he had always planned to destroy any resistence in Chechnya as it was part of his plan to elevate his status.
Also mentioning the school siege, apartment bombings, and theater hostage situations as though they were carried out by legitimate Chechen separatists and not the FSB or some other arm of the regime to allow Putin to further consolidate power. As has been all but outright confirmed by many intelligence agencies and media outlets around the world. Very sus.
didnt russia bomb chechenyas capital to the ground basically by bombing it 24/7 for days?
Good points
Plus, it is starting to come out that some of those crimes were FSB false flag operations to get the Russians behind the 2nd Chechen War!
You know why, don't take people like this seriously.... grab the useful information and filter out the MSM programming being injected.
Freedom to people of Chechnya!
THANK YOU 👍
Free Ichkeria
most of the stuff he told in this video you'll find only in russian media resources, therefore he is clearly representing russian propaganda 🤣 it is the same if he told people "ok, russia is bad, but did you know that ukraine nazis were killing its own people for 8 years and creating biological laboratories to spread viruses" all point by point repeating russian propaganda 🤣
Free it will be, I fear, just new Afganistan
I read a Russian journalist's biography on Putin "The man without a face". She thought a lot of the Chechen terrorist attacks were false flags.
And it's true ! It's the russian people, the residents of buildings who caught in action some FSB terrorists agents that were about to plant bombs and explode buildings, kill their own people to blame the Chcchens and then, invade them again.
The Chechens in Bislan did not kill people in the school; the Chechens took over the school so that the Russians would stop throwing bombs non-stop on civilians in Chechnya, but the Russians started bombing the school with the children inside.
Chechnya will be a hotspot to watch in the future, along with Belarus and possibly Syria as well. If the dominoes start to fall just right, Putin's headache in Ukraine will become small potatoes very quickly.
Syria will experience genocide, if the Sunni Arabs take control of the Shite government. We saw inklings of this with the Sunni Islamic State genocide of the Yazidi. Syrian minorities are literally fighting for their lives, just like Ukraine is after having experienced genocide under Russians during the Holodomor.
Iran has a strategic internet in Syria, projecting power across the top of the Arabian Peninsula, to make a line of Shite power to the sea, dividing Sunni Turkish NATO & Sunni Arabian Peninsula aligned with the US. Historically, the Persian Empire controlled this area for awhile. (This interest is why HW Bush did not invade Iraq during the first gulf war.)
Russia has an interest in Syria, since it is a warm water port, not blocked by Turkey. Russia will pull out all the steps to keep Syria from falling.
The funding of the Syrian Civil War by former Obama/Biden Administration did not take these into account.
These are some of the reasons the Syrian civil war dragged on for so long, with the minority government holding on.
It's already starting to happen. Russia's best elite forces suffered severe casualties early in the war; now the regular army only has quantity, not quality. The Wagner group is now Russia's best fighting force on the battlefield, and they are at odds with the ministry of defence. The prestige of the regular army is deteriorating and the Wagner group is increasing as time passes. I won't be surprised if the Wagner group mounts a coup.
add armenia to that list
@@bangscutter that's a lie
@@bigty390 According to who? People who claim destroying twice as many HIMARS then there were send and three Bradley's before they were even send?
An old Chechen co-worker of mine here in Sweden got injured fighting the Russians back in the Chechen wars. Nice guy. I wonder what he thinks of his countrymen fighting for Russia.
Regardless of who they are fighting for Chechens love to fight.
prolly sick, everyone knows. There few old chechen squads fighting for ukraine against theyre own..
Chechens were killing dagestanis ..a lot of Chechens were leaders of ISIS ...so go read about what happend there ;)
Absolutely seething Id imagine. Most of the Chechen war vets from that time were exiled or killed. Many went to live in Ukraine and are currently fighting the Russians again. They tend to see Kadyrov and his goons as traitors and I hope they one day get to go back and take him down.
Well if you study the American war of independence Scottish clans fought on both the British and the patriot side. My ancestors were exiled because they did not support the United Kingdom and went to America to fight for the Americans
Visual poltik used to be more balanced before the Ukraine Russia war.
Always interesting to learn more about a topic, thanks!
Hi channel guys,
Can you maybe dial it back with the jump cuts and camera zooms? Your content is great, love the writing and the research. But all that editing is entirely unnecessary and really ruins the delivery for me
Thanks!
Kadyrov is Borat in real life.
Really great video guys! The music was way better
1st class...thanks for sharing
I knew about Chechnya & Russia relations but, not to this extent.. Good content and work cheers mate👍👍🍻
not to this extent of russian propaganda mixed with some truth? 🤣
I have three champagne bottles stored for three special events. One involving Putin, one Kadyrov and one Durgin 🍾😈
no one for Lukachenkov? (Belarus)
@@tpeterson9140 Well, I might add a fourth one🤔👍

Nicely done, had to watch the whole video
👍✊
Awesome to see you presenting this Grant!"
Chechen republic of Ichkeria will be free 💪
Chechnya should be a country of its own...
It already is
Seems to me that when living under dictatorship, the support & loyalty of the population is often self preservation and as such, wafer thin.
Love your content, can't wait to see future videos on Australia now that we have a
"New and improved"
government administration.
Great videos as ever chaps.
Excellent video!
I was thinking about this from the summer.
This war in Ukraine can create an internal conflict in Chechnya in my opinion.
They are different clans who want Kadyrov gone and they also want independence from Russia.
This period is an opportunity for this groups to fight for their plans.
If that's happen it can create a domino effect in the Russian Federation.
They are many areas who want independence.
I doubt this as tens of thousands of soldiers capable of opposing Kadyrov died fighting in Syria and Iraq not long ago.
@@badluck5647
ISIS side
@@M88881 Obviously. If not ISIS, then they are allies to Al Qaeda.
It wishful thinking to think there is a large secular force in Chechnya. There aren't even more moderate Islamist like the Muslim Brotherhood.
@@badluck5647
The first "caliphate" sponsored by the USA, created with the aim of breaking Russia, was in Chechnya. It didn't work, and the victims were huge. The Chechens have very good reasons to go to war in Ukraine, which have nothing to do with the Russians. They are still there today, and after that attack on their base, they learned a lesson. Now silence , no picture , just work..
@@M88881 Your Russian conspiracies are nonsense.
please do something to your teeth , it is distracting
Sick descending guitar licks + fellow Scotsman = subscribe
Oversimplification distorts historical events, this channel does that beautifully!
Can't understand why the NATO and USA are not supporting dissent in Chechnya so as to enable it break away from Russia. Despite all the brute Russian Army Force, obviously Chechnyans would have understood how the separated 14 past Russian States to nations enjoy a better and freer life.
You know, we Chechens are told that we cannot live without Russia, and that’s what they told others, such as the Baltic countries.
some teeth whitening strips should be on order, for a channel this large and with so many closeups I think it would be beneficial
agreed,
Not "Russian unity itself" but Russian Federation unity itself. There's a difference. It is unlikely Russia will go anywhere even with a total regime change, but the Russian federation may fall apart.
Great video! Very informative on the Chechen topic, though I wish the presenter could actually pronounce the names etc correctly.
as Chechen i say this video is totaly wrong, alot of mistakes...
Not that informative a video. So much is wrong, so much critical detail omitted. Very disappointed. The author clearly did not do his research.
more of a russian propaganda topic 🤣🤣
11:08
No no, we who had even minimal combat training are still laughing at what we see. Every other clip in this quick montage is totally bananas!
We literally see Kadyrov's men crippling each other, like at 11:18.
As anything of Russia's millitary , their strength is having people believe they are strong.
Wasn't the Beslan school attack carried out in North Ossetia - and not Chechnya?
@@Chkhitoooo NO...Beslan School siege was in North Osetia held by Chechen terrorist.
Yes
"The crisis began when a group of armed Chechen terrorists occupied School Number One (SNO) in the town of Beslan, North Ossetia (an autonomous republic in the North Caucasus region of Russia) on 1 September 2004. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beslan_school_siege
Consider IRA attacks outside Ireland
That's also the deadliest school shooting in world history
Not even the US has ever suffered any school shooting that bad where 300 children were killed in one instance
Thought this was Vice Grip Garage with the intro and all
Great informative video
russian propaganda is "informative"? 🤣
You dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. You dropped the bomb on Nagasaki. Do not lecture me on Chechnya!
Hooray!!! Good to see you again Grant. Another great video from ya man. I've only ever said this to Simon, but you know, I would watch a 3 hour video from you as well Grant. So if they ever consider doing a longer format video with you, you can trust that you have the fanbase that will watch it.
I'm from Chechnya, i want 3 hour video
Video could have done with map inserts
Where does he buy his shirts? Loving it!
Magomed Tushaev isn't confirmed killed yet, there's some footage showing him with some battle wounds and crutch after the news
The Chechen soldiers performs half heartedly perhaps because it isn't their war, fighting for their country (Chechnya) is different from war in Ukraine
Just little bit of information Chechnya beat Russia without west support, just look at the devastation in Grozhny(there's a lot of image of it) to see how desperate Russian at that time
The Chechnya wars also happened just after the USSR collapse, with Russia being literally bankrupt and in a state of chaos, including its military. Not downplaying what you said, but the context also explains why Russia military performed so badly
@@jagorsimp7020 chechnya was prosperous at that time too. all that claim of russians being alpha male army led by rasputin has now crumbled
I'm up for a 3 hour video on the history of Checnys.
Mee too.
if he does it, its gonna be another 3 hours of russian propaganda 🤣
How many hosts/anchors this channel have?
where is that veteran?
A nice video. Keep up the good work. But a friendly remark: please work on the pronounciation of names You're referring to.
I think Kadyrov's ultimate goal is independence. There's no other reason for him to have a standing army like that. He's buddy-buddy with Putin right now because the money is good, but as soon as that dries up he'll make his push for independence at any cost.
Push for independence will only make him & Chechnya irrelevant globally. People only speak about him because of Putin.The Kremlin funds 80% of Chechnya's operations. Thus, there is no reason to seek independence.
Chechnyas voted to remain part of the Russian federation in a referendum
The guy narrating can't even say Kadyrov.
In fact he usually mispronounces at least one word per video.
Hes a westerner, not many westerners can pronounce non western names. They are REALLY bad at it, you never noticed?
@DaweSMF
That's not an excuse.
I always notice, rarely comment about it.
@@evanray8413 I dont even think about it anymore, sometimes it feels like on purpose tho. Specialy when it comes down to Kadyrov. It might be jab at him, dont really care that much.
cant lie always hope the other guy does the vids when i click.
Wicked mate .
Love your content hate the loud music
At this point I am a danger to Putins Russia.
It feels like you have a strong point.
And you are not a spy.
@@LathropLdST Most of the time, yes.
At this point I will control all of Russia.
The animosity between Chechens and Russian is very long, there are many Russian and Chechen folk songs describing that.
Very risky to assemble your troops in one spot, even in peacetime.
Make us a 3 hour long video plz
yes we are waiting
This analysis totally excluded the claims that FSB (former KGB) was involved in the Moscow theater hostage crisis and in other terrorist attacks.
The problem is thats what they are, claims and likely difficult to independently confirm. This is not to say the regime didn't manufacture consent through false flag attacks (Thats how they manufactured the justification for invading Ukraine), but unfortunately any thing that could prove it beyond the shadow of a doubt just isn't available as far as I am aware.
It’s pretty obvious it was manufactured consent
@@ExiledDragoon Well the apartment bombings for example civilians found one of the bombs that didnt go off and it was a bomb that ONLY fsb has access to. Kremlin also hade every journalist killed who was investigating the links to FSB.
Seems to be a pretty popular move
911 was conducted so poorly as a teenager i was able to tell
@@ExiledDragoon the problem is that you don't have any idea how FSB functions, it's Kremlin playbook since like ever. For example, Russia blamed Finland for starting the Winter War. Russia blamed Gorgia for starting the Gorgia Russo war. Russia blamed Ukraine for starting the Russo Ukrainian war etc etc etc.
Whoever's reading the news headlines: It is KA-DY-ROV, not KAD-RY-OV...
Good information but adjust the sound. The blaring "music" levels that are way louder than the commentary gets annoying.
-from the news today, looks like kadyrov is toast 😎
Yes, herd about Chechnya and Simons Warographics and that was only 1 source
Great video! I believe Russia will fall apart slowly and china will take in time over Siberia

@Spartan1995 its impossible to keep such large of a land with such a small population, it is even smaller than in these wws especially in comparision to other countries, sooner or later chinas attention is going to sway north, the chess game in mid asia is a precursor to this
Russia is a dwarf compared to China. So the future will likely see Beijing getting very much involved in Russian politics.
Love the show I love it
14:55 this world map has a lot of problems. Apparently the Caspian- and Black seas are now countries, while Belgium, Hungary and Georgia have been transformed into bodies of water...
I had many questions as to what the extent of Kadyrovites effectiveness in the Ukraine war. Thank you for a great explanation of their background, leader and confirming that they are a bunch of thug terrorists that do fantastically well against unarmed civilians but when they come up against a motivated and trained army like the Ukrainian Army they are destroyed. Thankfully.
Many have also been killed in Ukrainian Army HIMARS attacks on their bases. Slava Ukraini
Can you please do a video on the counter unit of the Kadyrovites - Sheikh Mansur Battalion - I read they are superb soldiers and are helping in the battle of Bakhmut, destroying Wagner mercenaries.
Lol. Hilarious how "their" Chechens are Thugs but "your" achechens are elite lol. Funny stuff
Bro keep your propaganda to yourself man.
Chechens fought russia without the help of the whole west boy and soon it will happen again.
@@ibrakha3590 and they'll be stomped into the dirt again.
You only colonial in the world🤣🤣🤣
if Kadyrov was wise, he would declare Chechnya independent now. Russia would not have the strength to fight Kadyrov's Chechnya. This would also end the war in Ukraine.
lol
Russia still has nukes and a large enough military to crush Chenchya.
nobody will help Chechnya anyway.
the only reason Putin tolerated Kadyrov and Chenchens is because Chechnya is a rich country in natural resources.
oil/gas and minerals.
@@LevisH21 lol Putin's army is currently so capable that the only potential opponent it could defeat is the Martians.
Nuclear weapons are not New Year's fireworks that are shot everywhere regardless of the outcome, nuclear weapons do not win wars of independence.
Wouldn't end the war in Ukraine, but would definitely be a step in the right direction.
well that's a water tight plan. 🤭
@@michaelmichelsson Russia is not simply fighting a war against Ukraine bit also against all the allies of Ukraine that give supposed and military aid to Ukraine.
of course Russia is having a bad time at the moment.
but not the same could be said if Russia had to have a war with Chechnya and Kadirov. NOBODY would support Kadyrov because Kadyrov is just as evil or even worse than Putin.
Kadyrov is a barbaric warlord with blood lust. so this is why Putin keeps him as his pet. he is useful.
not sure what will happen after Putin is gone. what will the next dictator do after Putin. what will the policy be with Chechnya. besides, the natural resources will be gone at some point.
I would up my history game on USSR and Russia if I were you. Thanks for the video though!
Just commenting to say that the sped-up intros keep me from watching these videos. It hurts my acid brain
Independence of Chechnya is not an easy topic. As the speaker mentions, Chechnya has little to nothing to run her economy somewhat independently. Actually, that's one of the main reasons why Chechens could not proceed further on the independence path after fending off the first Russian attack. All these warlords who were once fighting Russians turned to one another for whatever income there could be generated. Also, all sorts of criminal activities were common including widespread kidnapping of people for a ransom. Cutting of the Chechnya's economy from the donors would cause massive chaos not only in the area but in surrounding regions and I'll let the reader answer what happens when you have guns and willingness to commit atrocities but no money.
Does Chechnya border any other countries or is it completely enclosed in Russia?
@@1wun1 borders with Georgia to the south and other Russian republics such as Dagestan at the east
They’ll declare independence then invade their less equipped neighbours
@@creedness733 And Dagestan may actually also rebel... they already called Jihad on Putin.
@khvicha kuprashvili There's oil in Chechnya and the pipeline from the Caspian runs through the area.
Why is having a “3hr long” video a bad thing? You are not bound to a time slot like traditional media… you are bound to your own limitations.
If it’s retention concerns, then create a 3hr long video and 6-12 smaller clips of that episode. Stop with the excuse of long videos being a barrier of the topic, particularly don’t mention it at all if you don’t plan to cover it.

If Ukraine prevails, I *fully* expect Chrcnya to be one of the furst parts of Russia to attempt to break away.
Ukraine will prevail. Along with all the other nations russia oppressed.
Regardless of the outcome of the war it will happen
The intro sound 🎉level to high, fix it. Besides bueno 👍
So much cut scene music on this channel.. It feels kind of out of place if I'm being honest..
I wonder how Russians in other parts of the country feel about the special status of Chechnya? As a federation each part of the country is entitled to retain some local character, however, Chechnya seems to be so far out side the norms and laws that apply to the rest of the federation. Chechnya seems to bear almost the same relatIion to the rest of Russia as Syria does. Is it worth keeping for Russians?
Putin and Kadyrov having been so closely associated for 15+ years will share a common fate.
Chechnya will be stable as long as the money from Moscow keeps flowing.
Russia didn't really have other choice...
It's worth keeping otherwise Russia would lose Dagestan.
There's been some discontent, but not too much. Most people realize Kadyrov sits on a constant stream of cash just to keep the region quiet, while the said region produces nothing of value and has absolutely 0 cultural ties to russia. Chechens through not discriminated deliberately, are often viewed as radical crackheads.
As always though, most people have been complicit so it rarely went past some passive discussions and jokes. As of late Chechnya is rarely mentioned - people have more pressing matters to stress about.
Chechnya is a radical Muslim Texas
Chechnya is literally a state within a state with their own laws. You are absolutelly right, chechens are "loyal" while Moscow pays. Unfortunately while propaganda tells only about Ukrainian war, the majority of citizens just don't realize who the real enemy is and with what horror awaits us in the near future. However even now it's very anxious and unsafe to live in Moscow.
I don't think Kadyrov needs putin to keep his position as a dictator because he already has an entire army that pays fealty to him,but putin does need kadyrov to keep chechnya inside russia.
No one in power exists in a vacuum. If things go south and he becomes a nuissance for whoever, he is out.
Chechnia has a culture based on clan tipe of familly and if the agreement betweens clans stops being confy for the top guys, he looses his position very fast.
An army is loyal until it isn't.
@@puraLusa exactly. and besides,
Putin and Russia has nukes.
Chechens are just a pain in the ass to Putin and the only reason he wants to keep Chechnya to be part of Russia is because of the natural resources there.
That Army was a joke. Got their asses handed to them in Ukraine.
@@mordant221 Said Ukrainians were backed by NATO, the single strongest military force in history which includes multiple extremely strong nations including the U.S. The strongest nation in the world. They’re obviously on a defensive ear which is generally easier to wage.
If you think the Chechen military is weak, note that they not only obliterated Russia in their first war between 1994-96, but they fought Russia for over 10 years between 1999 and 2009
They are not a joke, very far from.
@@LevisH21 russia having nukes makes no difference in this situation (or ukraine), it's not usable.
Russia's economy suffers the dutch desease (not the only country), all putinist strategy revolve around energy market, nothing to do with security. Chechnia in its small independant period realized it couldn't exist without a corridor to med sea, so it went on the atack of dangestan, also nothing to do with religion (they just used the fanatics as strategy), putin knew this and just bought oil rights from a faction. Easy to realize once u research a bit. This is my opinion ofcourse.

In hindsight, we should have supported Chechnya against russia already back in 1990s. The aggressor and oppressor was always russia as it has been throughout centuries.
There was some, but not much, it was more in the middle during the 90s. The issue was once the Second War started and Putin really played up the Chechen ties with Al-Qaeda that made everyone in the world basically tell Chechnya to fuck itself. Now we know that the Moscow Bombings of '99 were false flags, but yeah, hindsight is indeed 2020
Always risky to pander to warlords, so I would think more than twice.
The "free world" let Russia get away with 30 years plus war crimes. And before that 100 years of crimes under USSR
A Finn who feels that supporting an Islamic State in Chechnya is a good idea in order to weaken Russia. Does not sound too smart.
@@sbuckle1171 Finland will be Muslim in 50 years
I remember reading in the book MiG Pilot which was about the life of Victor Belenko, he flew him MiG-25 to Japan back in the 70s. In the book he stated that he was once posted to a Soviet airfield in Chechnya. His briefing when he arrived was no one should ever wonder around off base alone since Chechens believe that no man can be called a man until he cuts the throat of a Russian. I wonder how many in the current generation still feel that way deep inside and since Ukraine has been kicking the Russians for nearly a year why can't Chechnya.
Chechnya is waiting for Russia to collapse before striking. They’re not only going to free Chechnya, but all the neighboring caucuses nations. Freeing the entire Caucuses from Moscow will cut Russia off from the Caspian Sea, it’s about to get hot over there.
Gotta ask the Chechens personally, theres a lot of stuff we dont know

Early 2015 when I see alot news about Azov and far right nationalis party, include by west mainstream media bbc,cnbc,cnn are not putin media. but now, how they just remove from the history. I still believe many of them still hiding in the elite nasionalis party or become elite politican. Soon i will check from browser
@@gregtriplex5878 You do understand that Russia has the same kind of nazi-organizations in Russia just like azov? Putin doesnt care about nazis or Azov at all its just an excuse to invade Ukraine.
Azov didnt even exist before russia invaded ukraine in 2014. Azov was created as a result of russian invasion.
Basically, Putin created Azov.
Please whiten those teeth. It’s really distracting.
14:55 where the heck did the guys get that map? :D
Hungary went Adios
@@saucy743 the same with Armenia and instead of Black Sea we have a newly born country :D
Where to begin 🤔
The second Chechen war was summed up poorly in this one.
didnt russia bomb chechenyas capital to the ground basically by bombing it 24/7 for days?
@@tpeterson9140 yeah, very artillery based with slow movements of troops. A way to mitigate casualties after the result from the first battle of Grozny. Still a very brutal war. But the guy summed it up as Kadyrov getting paid and taking care of the problem himself which was no where near the case until the 2000's.
@@ARASantiteroristiniuoperacijur yeah he didnt mention in the video how brutal 2nd war also was
As usual this man is biased. As soon as he calls some one as Dictator, we all know what kind of biased BS he is up to🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Having a hard time finding news on the Republics. How loyal are they and what will happen if they decide to break off?
Kadyrow need Putin money. But he may go rogue. Wagner is not real contender for Kremlin throne. We was deniable asset who start over-promoting himself. Russian military already try rid him off.
@wheezy They literally wait on time to size initiative.
Oh yes, so many questions...🤪 I haven't heard so many guesses and questions in a while
Will Russia invade the Baltics? Or attack Poland?
No. Russia does not want war with NATO.
The Baltics and Poland are all NATO members. Putyin will scream and shout and stomp but won't do anything to them because it would mean war with NATO. A war which his troops has proved- would end very quickly with russian defeat.
Nope
Poland: Bring it on! 😈
Would this be a Putin fever dream? Would this be imperialism's last hurrah?
Chechnya and Degestan are small regions of the Russian federation, inconsequential tbh if it wasn’t for the location of their regions in Russia. This is no Kazakhstan or Ukraine in terms of square area footage if it came to secession.
Regions of Caucasus*
Don’t forget, Russia would loose access to the Caspian Sea in the process. Loosing the Caspian Sea to a Muslim caliphate would spell disaster to what’s left of the Russian empire.
They would become breeding ground for terrorism and separatists in other regions, so not inconsequential.
where is the other guy?
Solds like an auctioneer. SOLD for 5 cents
Chechnya will always do what it wants and if it wants it independence it will wait to get it
we are ready anytime 💪
stay strong Ukraine .... 🇺🇦 💪🇦🇺
✊✊✊
Speaking of war crimes, who matched those two shirts
did this guy just call Fossil Fuel a "Dinosaur Juice?"
The Chechens are well equipped and have at least some basic training. That makes them significantly more effective than the bulk of the Russian troops, excluding the elite units.
Considering how crap Ruzzian soldiers are, that’s not saying much
Nope
@@fishsmiddy1048 crap? According to who? CNN?
Neo cons?
