Hope for Mogadishu?

Does the new Grozny look tacky?

Is that real though?

Yep, it looks fake almost, but that is what downtown Grozny looks like. Surprisingly modern.

Some background info on Chechnya. In the 90s/early 2000s there was a war between the Chechens and Russia. Chechens are a Muslim minority group in Southern Russia near the Caucasus.

Putin first crushed them in a war and then bought out the Chechen leadership in exchange to stop the riff-raff. They received a lot of money and development in return.

The ethnic Russian/Orthodox population went down from +20% before to less than 2% in recent years. :lol:

Looks like it was a win-win for both.
 
isn’t their leader the son of the man who fought Putin? Isn’t he fucking nuts and a warlord?
The country, politically is in worse shape now than what it was during the war.

Plus the Chechen President is in Moscow due to Coronavirus. So, they might be in trouble soon if he dies.
:wtfdis:

Actually they continuously beat the Russian army down in Chechnya with IEDs, ambushes and trapped vehicles. That was in the first Chechen war the Russian got their heads kicked in. It was only in the second Chechen war where Russia practically flooded Chechnya with soldiers and bombed Grozny to dust that they lost. Under 7000 Chechen and foreign mujahideen beat 75,000 Russians in the first Chechen war, Russians were absolutely seething.

Looks kind of tacky I guess but good nonetheless. Ending that war and developing it instead of holding onto grudges was a smart move.

Putin (he was the guy in charge at that point right?) did well.

The Chechen wars were brutal. The Russians morale was low, they were horribly prepared and people didn't really want to attack their own citizens. They were shoving new conscripts into this and letting them go to the meat grinder

The Russians could outright destroy them through bombs, artillery and pure firepower. And at the end the losses were too much and they dropped any need for decency killing thousands of civilians and soldiers.

The important part is a dictator crushing dissent, Somalis would never allow that.
