>>221123238hating russia won't make you white, you will always be brown.
>>221123172Basically a modern day client kingdom, they're foederati in Russian territory. That's pretty cool.
>>221123265>implying
>>221123291that’s a long euphemism for colony
>>221123172Careful anon they nuked my last chechnya thread
>>221123265it might not, but it's a white people thing still.
>>221123353Not really, there is no settlement from the metropole, if anything it was reversed. There used to be a decent percentage of Russians in that area that fled the wars, and rather than incentivize them to return and stabilise the area that way, Moscow instead let Chechens keep their Islamic ways and their loyalty to their muftis, and instead earned the loyalty of those leaders to the federal government and use the people as army recruits. Arrangements like that don't happen in the 21st century outside of tribal "kingdoms" within states in Africa.
>>221123172do chechens have any traditional architecture besides those ruined medieval vainakh towers? seems pretty crazy how they lived next to iran and armenians for centuries both of which have pretty cool architecture but they don't really seem to have anything besides those towers
>>221123238how do georgians overall feel about them?
>>221123421literal africans and browns hate russians, for example in syria. Keep coping
>>221123238
>>221123609Africans in one country where Wagner is active might or might not hate Russians, but overwhelmingly Africans in general have a more favorable attitude towards Russians than white people. It's just a fact that thirdies love Russia because they see them as their brother against da ebil white man.
>>221123609lol
Is there any strategic or economic reason for Russia to hold onto shitholes like this and Dagestan instead of just turning them into satelite states like the ones in central Asia? I get the muh territory muh history argument for places that have been core territories for centuries like Tatarstan which has a mixed population, but Russian presence in Chechnya has only been around since the mid 19th century and it seems like a piss poor backward place plus there are hardly any Russians there so what's the point
>>221124004they are kind of retards. even after winning the first war they just randomly invaded Russia which lead to the second war
>>221124004They would be immediately overrun by Turkish influence + money and guns to fuck with Russia. It already happens to some extent but it would be even worse And Russia is the last possible country that would entertain the possibility of giving any of its regions independence, maybe after Spain.
>>221123172They are like pitbulls with rabbies, but they have some aura, I'll give them that. They know how to exert respect
>>221124088They could probably manage to keep them at bay through puppet regimes and forced military presence I mean it's Russia we're talking about. Plus having a hard border would actually be beneficial right?>And Russia is the last possible country that would entertain the possibility of giving any of its regions independenceCan easily be spinned as liberating opressed peoples yadayadayada us good west colonizers bad. But the right time for doing that in terms of PR was before the wars there. Maybe I'm just too retarded to see a good enough reason to keep subsidizing a place like this instead of controlling it in other ways
>>221123265georgians don't hate russia. they have a russophilic government
>>221123568Mountaineers in general have cool looking compact settlements called “Auls”, look it up.
>>221124241There are "Government in Exile of [Russian Republic]" all around Brussels and DC, the last thing any Russian leader would want is another 1991 on the table. They already have enough issues with Ukraine and Islamic State spillover from Northern Azerbaijan and Tajikistan.For now the region is stable, the Kadyrovs keep the peace and have a fruitful arrangement with the power brokers in Moscow, nothing may change until Putin is too old to continue, power shifts, and maybe someone ends up falling off a window.
>>221123661It’s official, russophilia makes you brown
>>221124411i am aware of them from dagestan but pics i've seen they all look rundown and half abandoned so i'm not sure how accurate they are of what towns looked like before russians invaded in the 19th century and all current towns just look like any russian city
>>221124518there is no islamic state in azerbaijan
>>221123172They seem like violent brutes who were basically transported here from the medieval era

>>221123172They should build a statue of Conor McGregor for making them relevant.
>>221123172i was just thinking whether the drones can solve the issue of barbarians running off into the mountains drones can basically cover everything and with thermal vision even the night scavenging won't be an optionbaiting chechens out of the mountains by paying insane tribute is nonsense, another treason by p*tinwith total drone coverage north caucasus can be cleared for human settlement
>>221123502It’s most def a colony. You prop up the most suitable warlord in return for him vowing loyalty and letting you siphon whatever wealth you want out of the cunt. Whatever culture struggle point that can be added to that is either an overlord vanity project or a bread and circus for the serfs
>>221123172I've heard its capital is ugly
>>221124004Caucasus pipelines from the Caspian. They need to be kept in the russosphere for this reason alone. The current arrangement is just sort of what happened. If they could ensure having the final say over those routes some other way they wouldn’t be there
>>221126186>picOne of my favorite wikipedia articles is the Murid War because it is very detailed but terribly written and they still haven't rewritten it in an encyclopedic style or added citations. >>221126491I wouldn't call it a colony because it is, at the end of the day, an internationally recognized part of Russia. But instead of settling and integrating it with their system, they ceded it to be its own autonomous thing under a loyal warlord.Imagine if the native reservations in America were actually richer, had guns and were very territorial, but their chief Standing Eagle would chill in the White House and send his private paramilitary to fight in Afghanistan or Iran
>>221123172More like CheckmyWws
>>221124047>they just randomly invaded Russialiteral falseflag
North caucasus clearly benefits from Russia in economic sense. Chechnya will turn into a shithole if given independance.
>>221128611Is there alot of chechen diaspo in Georgia
>>221123616demon
>>221126604What pipelines run from Azerbaijan to Russia?
>>221124004Also remind that they are welfare queen as Russia subsides them for like 90% of their state budgetIvan taxes goes to ChechenBVLLS to build new MMA gyms and mosques
>>221124004>Is there any strategic or economic reason for Russia to hold onto shitholes like this and Dagestan instead of just turning them into satelite states like the ones in central Asia? Obviously. Without direct control that entire region turns into a (very fast) ticking time bomb of casual neighbor genocides and Islamic fundamentalism. Also geopolitical control of the region neighboring the middle east, turkey, Iran is important
