Blood feud

 

- I will *not* fight for the Chechens,
my sweet lord, seriously now!

This British tabloid doesn´t seem *that* objective in its Russian coverage, so don´t expect a "civil war" any time soon. Still, there does seem to be a simmering conflict between Chechnya and Dagestan, two "republics" within the Russian Federation. 

Apparently, Chechnya demands a piece of Dagestani territory only inhabited by Chechens before Stalin´s forced deportations during World War II. Russia has sent federal troops to the North Caucasus to show both sides who´s really boss. Chechen leader Kadyrov is an important Putin asset, which may explain his cocky attitude. If he goes too far, though, I expect a little explosion on his private chopper (rather than a full scale civil war). 

Fun fact: Kadyrov looks like the YouTube content-creator The Amazing Atheist!    

Russia on brink of civil war after Chechen leader declares "blood feud"

Putin´s Black Hundreds

 

The CNN and two Indian news outlets comments on the pogrom-like situation at the airport of Makhachkala in Dagestan, a Muslim-majority "republic" of the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, some other news outlets (invariably Western ones) have chosen to call the pogromists "pro-Palestinian protesters"! Sigh...

It´s difficult to believe that this could have happen without the knowledge of the Russian (and I do mean Russian) authorities. There have been anti-draft protests in Dagestan, and the republic borders Chechnya. Separatist sentiments have existed in Dagestan for a long time. An international airport in Makhachkala seems to be exactly the kind of place where the security presence should be heavy, and yet the crowds could just storm the buildings and the runway! 

I can´t help thinking that Putin let it all happen as a kind of safety valve. Maybe it´s a way of redirecting people´s energy away from anti-Russian protests? 

It seems the Black Hundreds are back, but this time they are "Green" instead! However, there is still "one ring to rule them all"...in the Kremlin.   

Enraged Russians?

 

Some kind of pogrom-like situation is developing in Dagestan as we speak. Trending on X (Twitter) for those who have access to that forum.

Apparently, Muslim "protesters" (pogromists) stormed the local airport when a flight from Israel landed there, searching for Jews. At least one of the protesters carried a Palestinian flag. The mob chanted "Allahu Akbar". A mob have also gathered outside a hotel where a suspected Jew have checked in. 

But sure, I suppose this proves that all Jews really should leave the Russian Federation while there is still time!

PS. According to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, "enraged Russians" were looking for "Israelis" after a "rumor" that an Israeli plane had landed on the airport. Yeah, sure. But if you click on their link, they kindly imform you after about a minute that the town "has a Muslim majority" and that the mob "is said to have chanted anti-Semitic slogans". You can also hear them scream "Allahu Akbar" on the video shown, but with no comment from Aftonbladet.

I´m not surprised, since this despicable rag previously "informed" us that "people" (in general) are celebrating Hamas on the streets of Sweden, or that "children" (in general) are sending anti-Semitic messages to each other through TikTok.

Maybe they too were enraged Russians! I´m pretty sure they weren´t Swedish right-wing radicals, since something tells me Aftonbladet would have told us if that had been the case...
