There are some good Russians...but there only good jihadi is a dead jihadi. Fine with them kicking each other's ass, but in round 2 the Russians really pushed their shit in. No more fucking around.

The Moscow theater hostage situation and the Beslan school massacre were seriously fubar.  It was not even on the radar of most Americans.  Most islamic apologists today probobly would not even know about them.

Yeah, I don't even want to think about the shit storm of suffering that the Russians unleashed after beslan. God only knows how many people, innocent and guilty, were tortured to death or whatever else it is the Russians do to people that really really piss them off and have no nation state support...

Yea thats what I was thinking about too.  During the first Chechnya war we were still just coming out of the cold war so I didnt mind seeing someone whoop the Soviets.  But like you said, 9-11 happened and suddenly I realized who the majuhadin were and what Islam was all about and I found my self having sympathy for the russians.

I think a lot of the world did, most likely helped them win the second war plus they were out for blood.  The world became much less tollerant to islamic fundamentalism and terrorism bull shit around then. We made a lot of mistakes during that Clinton era about what side we took around the world.

If I was Russia, and there was a part of me like Chechnya, I would certainly go to war to cut it the fuck off and get rid of it.

But to fight so hard to keep those fuckers....now that's crazy. I don't care if they have oil, gold, or horny super models.

LOL, the Russians did get their asses handed to them. First Chechan War wasn't one of those "We won all the battles but lost the war" type of scenarios, the Russians lost most of the actual battles too. IE. Large Russian forces would attack, they'd get their asses kicked, massive numbers killed, large numbers captured, Russia embarrassed and unable to effectively respond.

The closest comparison is if the US entered Fallujah in 2004 and the Marines and Soldiers got hammered, driven out of the city with their tails between their legs.

Also, Chechan separatists in the 1st Chechan War weren't Islamist orientated, they were nationalists. Their primary leaders were actually commies, senior govt officials, who used the collapse of the Soviet Union as an excuse to break away from Russian control, since the Russians had always treated non-Russians they controlled like pieces of shit. It wasn't until years later as the Gulf States flooded money to Salafist Islamist groups that those groups became some of the dominant factions, made vastly apparent in the 2nd Chechan War.

Winner winner. Maikop brigade at the Grozny train station was probably the most intense battle since world war 2. Too bad Russians are never honest about their own casualties or we’d know for sure.

I remember reading the lessons learned for the '94-95 battle of Grozny back in the early 2000s, I kept the print out for a very long time afterwards. I remember being blown away by the horrors of urban combat and yet when we did similar stuff in Iraq, because we weren't fuck ups like the Russians, it was nowhere as bad. Goddamn, did the Russians basically do everything wrong...

How the fuck do you lose an entire brigade against insurgents?

The pink thing is a rubber tourniquet.  Usually wrapped around a field dressing.  The triangle folding stock itself is bare metal, which can be rather unpleasant in the winter or if the suns been shining.  The rubber does at least insulate it,

It's like they forgot how fight a war.  The lessons of WWII were lost to them I guess.

Same for the US in Korea.  Only 5 years after WWII ended, and we fielded one of the most proficient armys in the world, we started off in Korea like the keystone cops.

Korea was a mess. Post war budget cuts gutted the Army Ground Forces/Army Field Forces and the Fleet Marine Force, what budget we did have largely went to the Air Force and some to the Navy. A massive shame how bad the US military got in such a short time.

Chechans declared a separate state and the Russians, trying to act like badasses to prevent it and others from breaking away, half assed it the operation with almost no clear plan, they rolled in an armor column into the city center of Grozny thinking they'd replicate Budapest in '56 and instead they got welcomed by hunter killer teams and got their asses kicked badly. Didn't help that it caught them at the worst time ever. After the Soviet Union collapsed it was nothing but massive budget cuts, morale crashed in their military, pay was irregular, logistics was basically gone, corruption was rampant, desertions skyrocketing. No real training for years. They'd stagnated heavily since the late 70s anyway as the communist system crumbled through normal commie bullshit, their difficulties in the 90s were the just deserts to their bullshit Marxist Leninist experiment.

I think you mis-understood this post.  He's saying he enjoyed watching the Russians get their asses kicked, but after 9/11 he was a big fan of anyone killing Islamists and regretted seeing the Russians lose to the worst scum on earth.

At least that's how I took it.

The Russians were the worst scum on the Earth. They weren't in Chechnya fighting for freedom, they were there to crush a nationalistic revolt by Chechan communists, who were not religious at all, who used the collapse of the Soviet Union to try to break Chechyna apart from Russia, who had historically treated them like utter shit. It was a war based largely on nationalism. It was never about Islam, the most diehard groups were the Salafist but the war ended when all the moderates were bought off by Putin to turn on those rabid Islamists. Even the Chechans turned on them.

They mainly did it so the rest of the shithole republics wouldn't try and break off too. Although, that still doesn't make sense since they are shithole republics. Russia could surely have benefited by letting some of those places go. At the time it made sense to them, but that was before the influx of burqas into Russia was a thing. Now, it's full burqas in many places down there.
