Oh puhleaze…

The Soviets invaded Afghanistan and killed a million people who gave a rat’s ass? Did hundreds of thousands turn out to protest? Nope.

And when the US went into Iraq the Russians were defended far and wide because they did not support the US.

The point is this is not just about Chechen independence. The men who are doing the killing say it is not about Chechen independence. There have been links between terrorists in Chechnya and AlQaida for years. They say they want a Caliphate and do not believe in democracy nor do they show the slightest concern as to who they kill. Making excuses for their behavior will not make this any less heinous.

So no, I don’t particularly like the Kremlin’s methods but I like these mother fuckers even less.
