"The actions in these reports are utterly barbaric. One of the most disgusting things I have seen is a Chechen security source stating that these arrests are part of what he called a preventative clean-up ... Human rights groups report that these anti-gay campaigns and killings are orchestrated by the head of the Chechen republic, Ramzan Kadyrov. He has carried out other violent campaigns in the past, and this time he is directing his efforts at the LGBT community. Sources have said that he wants the community eliminated by the start of Ramadan."

You mean like Iran has been doing for years? Don't hear anything about that anymore either.

Unfortunately this isn't new, the persecution of the LGBTQ community in Chechnya has been going on for a while. And no, nothing can be done against it. They have close ties with Russian leaders who share the sentiment, so even if anyone seriously wanted to do anything there aren't any good options.

Flee. Changing the mindset of... ahh.... certain individuals there is not going to work. You have to chalk up your losses and get the hell out of places like this.

Unfortunately Russia is really the only one that can deal with it and it's unlikely that they will.

This is going to only get worse. Most the nations in the west have grown weak and those that remain strong are despised by the weaker ones causing a broken front and an inability to act against anything more than 3rd world solo nations. Globalization has spread enough money around to where just cutting that doesn't auto win anymore either.

Face it.. a world war is coming and it is because the west that preserved the peace from the last grew fat, lazy, and sloppy. It's going to suck for everyone. Things like this are going to happen endlessly behind the Russian front of protection until it eventually spills out.

Remember that it was Clinton who supported the chechen jihad in the late 90s.

No, Clinton did not support Chechen jihad in the 90s.

The west is very strong compared to anything else, so what exactly are you on about?

No-one has dared to challenge the west in any meaningful form, because no-one has the ability to do so, and win in any way.

Because Chechens are Muslims? The Russian federation is multi-ethnic, multi-religious and made up of many different regions with varying levels of autonomy.

So youre saying, because we(europe, eastasia) don't like the usa and their warmongering ways, other countries than the west actually getting richer and improve the live of their citizens we will face the third world war, where some countries magically gains the power to battle the west?

and of course it orchestrated by russia, because they are also absolutely not on their last legs economically and only able to fight against some terrorists.

Go look what religion they practise in Chechnya.

Ah, but according to our media, we are supposed to like Muslims but not like Russians, we must not talk about Chechnya much on the news because it would quickly confuse things.

There's already a fake news thread on this

A bunch of crocodile tears from west which used to call chechens for "freedom-fighters" n didn't care about Russian victims. But now with an alleged crime against gays, suddenly liberals care what Chechens do...
