Battlefield (Jihad) Chechnya: numerous Videos
2004-07-17

#6  Oil? Well maybe, but sometimes I am of the depressing opinion that War is just what man does.

Oil, Islam, Christianity, Power or Economic Benifits are just excuses to do what we are best at....killing each other for this reason or that, (Understand I do not necessarily think that this is bad...just true...and something we should be honest about).

I'm glad that you posted all the videos. There were a bunch of, "Oh Shit," moments, watching Russian soldiers walk into this ambush or that one...you hold your breath eaven knowing what is coming.

I need to go over to Dan Darling's site to get some greater sense of how Chechnya is going...but the news today is not good.

In any case I've got to run to a meeting, but I truly appreciate you posting all of these videos.

Thanks Again

#5  Traveller I thought of posting one, maybe two videos and then said 'post them all in one link'. While reviewing some of the videos I thought of out troops in Iraq & Afghanistan. "where are these Jihadi's getting what appears to be Stinger Missiles?" or Strelas.
Black market!

The jihadees are shown for the true evil they are. Note one of the top jihadists was Saudi who is now dead, after inflicted death on so many others.

I hope everyone knows oil and natural gas is at the root of the Russians holding on this area, and the jihadist want control as well.

#4  I don't know what to say. The jihadists may ultimately get more than they bargained for as Western civilization eventually says, "enough. Enough of rich Saudis financing death and destruction. Enough of western Muslims turning a blind eye to barabrism."

I dunno.

#3  "Stingers" are probably russian Strela, they get them where they find their other weapons, ie ex-soviet republics and corrupt russian army officers. Note that I have already seen some of these videos elsewhere, and is not planning on seeing them again, real gruesome. The sickening point is that theses beheading, throatslicing and execution is seen as good propaganda, and recruitment assets. Thinking that they are shown in mosquees and cultural centers around the world, including Europa, and that they =inspire= jihadist wannabes is truly disturbing.

#2  Ooops, I just saw that there was a page 2. From watching Russian Helicopters being shot down, there rises the real question...just where are these Jihadi's getting what appears to be Stinger Missiles?

#1  It may take upwards of an hour to watch all this video, but it is well worth the time...Even the propaganda piece, Hunting is going on, (Internal title, Hunting Without Rules).

All of this will rock your consciousness on the war. My first reaction was to kill everyone over 10 years old in Chechnya, but this no doubt due to being both in and springing ambushes...so these clips obviously had more meaning for me.

And the Russians do seem to be trying that tactic unsuccessfully....Hummmmmm. In any case I'd like to thank Mark very much for posting this site.

It will certainly make you think...both as to the cost to the Russians and to the Chechnyans.

Be Good,
