Regarding Chechnya, I want to remind you that you are talking about an insurgency that was very used to commit terror attacks on civilians and take hostages to negotiate their terms. Including hundreds of children.

- rini17 5y agoSo you say leveling whole cities with ground like Grozny is the right response here?
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoI am not saying that. What you use is a classical demagogue trick called "strawman fallacy".
- rini17 5y agoYes. I am talking about civilian casualties, you strawmanning with insurgents. Or why did you mention them, what is your reasoning? "They killed hundred our children so we kill thousand of theirs?"
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoThe side that takes children as hostages of the 'other' side is not above using their own civilians as a human shield so people like you would lament their sufferings. What next, you'll be judgemental about population of Berlin when it was taken from the Nazis?
- rini17 5y agoSo let's not judge the US either. And if you're satisfied with the overall result (like Chechen warlord being #2 man in Russia)...then it's all okay I guess.
