Explosion in St. Petersburg Metro

[ssu]

Last I heard there wasn't anything left of Chechnya. They did to it what they tried to do in Afghanistan, and what we did half-ass job of in Vietnam. Declare almost everything outside of small "pacified" areas free fire zones and kill everything.

Long time since you heard something then.

Well, Russians rebuilt Grozny and put Ramzan Kadyrov in charge, a son of Chechen leader that prior had fought the Russians. Built even a Mosque in the city centre. Kadyrov rules Chechnya as his own fiefdom and it's rather peaceful. Don't ask what the human rights situation is, but the fighting has stopped. I assume the Chechens choose Kadyrov's rule than the continuation of a war with Russians.

Russian clear-hold-build strategy. Rebuilt Grozny:


Kadyrov and his officers:


Of course there are still some Chechens fighters especially places like Syria, but they are few. The real insurgency has been over for years now.

Why are we discussing Chechnya? The bomber was Akbarjon Djalilov, a 22 yo from Kyrgyzstan, according to AP.

The two aren't even close.

Ssu is walking through his thirty seven point explanation that connects the bomber to Trump through Chechnya and a stiff wind out of Howard Stern's asshole. Try to keep up.

A mosques? That is good. It's looks like the Russians did the "build" part right. That's good as it gives the Chechens a reason not to fight. I imagine that everybody got sick of the perpetual fighting, and the rebuilding gave the survivors a good reason to stop.

Putin builds Buddhist temples too.

Unlike America, some nations have loooooong memories. For some New England creation was last week, and the American Civil War was yesterday.
