@LeonidasXXI It didn't "come around" to the Russian military - it "came around" to a third party, the Ossetian children in Beslan

The Russian military was too reckless with its campaign in Chechnya. But one should also blame Basayev for invading Dagestan

[VicenteMosin]

@JASHVEER22 It's critical of the Russian response, yes. On that alone, you could critique Russian recklessness.

What was left out was the fact that Russia had tried giving Chechnya de facto independence, and it meant that Basayev invaded Dagestan.

Anti-Russian propaganda

@sewagedweller are saying that russia did not carpet bomb civilian area?

[mizzoulibertarian]

@sewagedweller is chechyna  sovereign territory?

[sewagedweller]

ahhh good old american propaganda , at least russians managed to subdue and hold chechen territory . something that cant be said about american invasions of sovereign territories

[LeonidasXXI]

What goes around, comes around.

I´m not saying it was right to take those hostages but does anyone care for the thousands of chechnyan children and women killed during the past 15 years?

Have you any evidence for Bassaev - FSB connection? Where can I find the source?

(I am just curious )
