I dunno if Vlady wants to support a war against Muslims. It'll be 90's Chechnya all over again.Only if Putin gives the green light, maybe as a distraction.
It might pay off in the short term if his plan is a short winter blitz to grab a chunk of eastern Ukraine,I dunno if Vlady wants to support a war against Muslims. It'll be 90's Chechnya all over again.
If the Serbs go after the Bosnians like they did in the 90's, you can bet that fighters from the Muslim Russian republics will fight against the Serbs. Putin needs these republics to stay in line and can't fight war(s) abroad and a civil war at home. Russia has to appear united to its allies, hence the swift response to the riots in Kazakhstan.It might pay off in the short term if his plan is a short winter blitz to grab a chunk of eastern Ukraine,
Serbs and Bosnians will do the fighting in Bosnia, Europeans will wring their hands without the US.
Long term may be a different story but Vlady definitely plays chess well,
the west on the other hand is divided and leaderless and can't even seem to play checkers.
