You got France and small French Guiana in South America, but not large Danish Greenland in North America, just European Denmark alone. P.S. People, who think Kadyrov will betray Putin, are wrong in my opinion. He is one step forward (Chechen nationalist), two steps back (pro-Russia/pro-Putin) type of a person. Why do I think so? Kadyrov is a brutal dictator: threats, tortures, killing people, his "army" is fighting in illegal (in terms of international law) wars across the world, etc. Kadyrov*s Chechnya is in the same line with North Korea and Turkmenistan. A lot of people from liberals to jihadists and even some pro-Putin centrists in Chechnya and neighboring regions hate him. He is not just a brutal dictator, he is also some sort of imperialist trying to steal lands from neighboring republics. So if Putin will be overthrown by any opposition force, there will be a good chance Kadyrov will be sentenced to a long prison term. Probably to a life imprisonment. The rulers of other regions could survive such hypothetical coup (their biggest crime is corruption and stuff), but not Kadyrov, he is too toxic. And he knows that.

In both countries the turnout was more than 99% in favour of independence. Thus, Chechnya was not the 'only one' to do so. In Georgia, in 1989, there were even widespread protests for independence which were brutally crushed by the Soviets (the April 9th Massacre) To say that only Chechnya aspired for independence is an insult 12:11 Diagram shows Chechens retreating into Chechen lowlands, not highlands Also, throughout the video Crimea was shown to be part of Russia despite the fact it was part of Ukraine throughout all the Chechen wars

There are too many inaccuracies in this video to waste my time addressing them. One of the most irksome is how it ignores Georgia except to lob a full insults at Georgians. Georgian was one of the first to declare its independence from the USSR. Another issue is linguistics. The video takes the erroneous position that all of the Caucasian languages are related. They are not. There is no linguistic relationship between most of them. Chechen is as different from Georgian as Chechen is different from Russian. They are unrelated.

Nice video. However, as a linguist, let me point out that there is no Caucasian language family. There are at least three indigenous language families.

In fact, the languages of the Caucasus are notorious for being mutually incomprehensible.

@Ethnic Nationalist what language family? I dont understand other caucasians at all we have no words in common. You dont know what youre talking about youre not from here.

[@qltcn]

@Ethnic Nationalist similar loanwords doesn't prove anything. Languages can be ifluenced by geography too. Mountainous regions tend to produce shorter words with less vowels etc. Writing materials used can influence the form of script. There are lots of similarities between languages all around the world. That's not enough though. If you suppose that all caucasian languages are part of one family, then they should diverge over time and split, not converge. So you need to look not for similarities but for differences. And for some historical base for your theory. Otherwise it's pure speculation.

Russians are not slavic people - they're mongols. People dont see obvious cultural differences in Slavs and mongolian russians.

While mongol russians are exactly opposite - they love strong leaders and love serve them and worship them exactly like mongols - mongols hd genghis khan and batu khan. Batu Khan is the founder of russia. He founded "duchy of moskovia" first russian vasal state that became later sovereign - but the nature of mongolian moskovia never changed. It's still goverend like golden horde. With strong dictator putin playing the role of batu khan. Remember and repeat - RUSSIANS ARE NOT SLAVS !

[@archerone3254]

At the beginning, Chechens only ever wanted their freedom, which is why they constantly fought back against Russia no matter the odds. But the massacre of the Shamashki village (Russian troops stormed the villages and tortured/murdered civilians, women, elderly and children.) was the one event that broke all the possible rules of this modern conflict. Well, to be honest there was just no rules anymore. This is one of the event that made Chechens swore to take revenge against Russia, and began to deshumanize their people just as much as Russia did it to Chechens. And this mentality which is still deep inside most Chechen's minds (especially the diaspora) is one that Kadyrov is constantly trying to repress by glorifying Russia, Putin, and making that new pro-russian Chechen youth in Chechnya. You have to understand how Kadyrov is hated by his own people for his betrayal, and he knows it himself. The minute Moscow gives up on him, he will be killed and probably rather brutaly.

This war wasn't new to anyone in the country, since we've been fighting them for 300 years because one bitch tsarine wanted to conquer the Caucasus. The moment things went south is when Russia left the territory beaten down, but with an equally destroyed Chechnya. And of course no one was able to pay for their destruction, certainly not themselves, which saw the rise of warlords against the Chechen government (which Ahkmat Kadyrov was part of before his betrayal) warlords Russia actively used to divide Chechnya even more, and come back when things were a mess to bomb Chechnya again (there is testimonies of Russian soldiers scared of going further than the border because of how afraid they were of Chechens lmao) After Putin bombed his own people in Moscow to create a false flag attack and call us terrorists.

The current image we have of Russia as some military juggernaut is of course colored by WWII and the Cold War. However, historically, Russia has been pretty militarily inept. Of course it's not because Russians lack courage or intelligence, and of course it's had its victories, but Russia's military culture has been historically dysfunctional, as top-down totalitarian militaries tend to be: sclerotic and corrupt, with terrible morale. Things like initiative and original thinking are discouraged in favor of following orders emanating from the top. Like China, Russia's approach to war has consisted largely of throwing enough people into the meatgrinder till it simply clogs up. It's tended to do well against much smaller, less advanced countries and nationalist rebel groups, but it has a pretty terrible track record when going toe to toe against first-rate modern militaries (even when it's sat at the victors' table as part of a larger coalition).

At 4:48 he named three points uniting the resistance against Russia. Firstly, Armenia and Georgia are Christian countries and they were together with Russia, not against it, because this is the only christian county in the region, he also said that there is a common language there, but this is not the case at all, in the Caucasus there is 50-60 languages, only Turkic speakers understand the languages of the same Turks. Even Islam have differences, in Azerbaijan they're Shiites, chechens and dagestanis is Sufi. Next thing, Chechens were deported not to Siberia, but to the steppes of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. At 10:10 he said about "worsed political situation in capital of Chechnya, but he showed images of city after 31 December 1995 new year assault, At 10:24 he said about pro-russian opposition, but Ahmad Kadyrov wasn't pro-russian at the time he is talking about. At 12:00 he said that Chechens "had no problems with using civilians as human shield" it's also lie, civilians were asked to leave the city, but those who had nowhere to go remained. At 12:15 "they went to the mountains", but shows that they went to the lowlands. at 12:28 after Dudaev death Maskhadov did not immediately come to power, Yandarbiev was in front of him. 16:42 "illegitimate Chechen government" - no, they we're legit, Maskhadov President elected by Chechen people, election was monitored by the OSCE. 18:49 ”in 1991..." No, it was on 2001. 20:28 "Kadyrov swore in as the new president" The president was Ahmad Kadyrov, not Ramzan, Ramzan become the president only in 2007, after his father assassination. and so on, a lot of mistakes, it would not hurt to better prepare for the video.

Tito was fake. A puppet. A freemasonic puppet. You can't create a country like Yugoslavia without the world's elites giving their OK first, but it's not just the OK, it was their plan all along. Tito, like so many post ww2 leaders, were given the best period to rule over their respective countries... Eventho Tito was a corrupt leader, the country was prosperous enough for the people not to look to him. This is the truth. All are Masonic puppets except Bosnians, who are the truest descendants of the Illyrian against which a conspiracy existed since the great Illyrian revolt.. and they kept punishing the descendants up to now. Secret meeting during the Bosnian wars. François Mitterand visited Tuđman and Milošević, but didn't meet with the Bosnian leader Izetbegović. It was literally presented in the news as secret negotiations. Well now, François Mitterand was a Grandmaster in the Masonic order. This is the world.. John F Kennedy warned in his Waldorf Astoria speech.

[@Masaru_kun]

@Ethnic Nationalist no that hasn't been proven. they dont even belong to the same language group, nevermind a single language as was mentionedi n this video. they're completely unintelligible even if there was a ibero-caucasian group, that doesnt mean the languages make sense to eachother or are unified. there was a claim of 'common language' here. And that's all besides that fact that turkic, indo-european, and even mongollic languages are in the area too.

[@Masaru_kun]

@Ethnic Nationalist lmao. Since you decided to get insulting, I'm not sure you're having this conversation in good faith. You're also ignoring the fact that both the Ottomans and Russia have historically owned the area and there are huge amounts of turkic and indo-european speakers like I already said. Look up what a 'primary language family' is. It means a group of languages that share a common ancestor with eachother, but with no other language in the world. East and west caucasian have always been seen as 2 completely different primary language families, along with indo-european. More recently, it was found that the georgian languages do not share a common ancestor with the other west caucasian languages. Therefore there are 3 primary language families native to the area, and 3 more with majority areas that moved in later, indo-european, turkic, and afro-asiatic (arabic). In conclusion, the caucuses are one of the most linguistically diverse places in the world. Not only are there tonnes of mutually unintelligible languages, but there are 3 families of languages that have entirely separate origins. They're no more similar to eachother than Basque is to Spanish. So again, implying there was any kind of common language in the area is silly.

[@Masaru_kun]

@Ethnic Nationalist allright 'ethnic nationalist', but ill be blunt. Implying there's one common language group in the caucuses isn't just factually wrong, it isn't just cultural insensitive. It's flat out racist. It's like pushing a conspiracy theory that all african langauges come from a single language.
