Hieronymous Alloy posted:My understanding is that the chechen units being sent in are not draftees, but volunteers. They've been members of Kadyrov's personal army, not just regular Chechen units. I've been referring to the groups of Chechens who've been involved as 'Kadyrov's men' rather than just 'Chechen units' for this reason. There's substantial and verified reporting that Putin planned a lot of this war with Kadyrov and Kadyrov's generals for a lot longer than with his own Russian generals. Kadyrov feels part of this war to the point he personally threatened Boris Johnson with "sanctions" https://twitter.com/spectatorindex/status/1498054698468659200?t=8u7ujElwquezWetudTFxNw&s=19 https://twitter.com/t_toghrul/status/1498187654197919750?t=6Art75Ymeylf0eWYPvZ-lQ&s=19 It's not fair to the Chechen people he's ruling with an iron fist to use generic terms for the units going in so far imo Edit: Blog post from Feb 6th from a Chechen Human Rights Organization stating that they had reports about the planned Ukrainian invasion KitConstantine fucked around with this message at 14:15 on Feb 28, 2022 |

KitConstantine posted:
Он дал "срок до 31 февраля". По мнению главы Чечни это будет примером и для других государств, чтобы они "впредь думали, прежде чем вводить какие-то санкции". He gave "a deadline of February 31." According to the head of Chechnya, this will be an example for other states, so that they "think in the future before imposing any sanctions."

Question I haven't seen discussed yet: What sort of historical precedent is there for the kind of sanctions getting imposed on Russia now? Were similar sanctions imposed during ww2 or was it not practical then due to lack of integration of hte world economy?

Those restrictions have been in place for decades - in both cases, the regimes just dug in. North Korea turned their populace into propaganda'd slaves; despite the fact they spend a crazy amount of money on the military, they're still a third world country. Cuba's a little different, obviously, but a lot of their infrastructure hasn't changed since their revolution.

There's trade with Europe, and you can buy Cuban goods (Havana Club, the real one, primarily) in pretty much every European supermarket.

Shibawanko posted:turkey closes the bosporus for russian warships, yikes Well within their rights and to be expected. The only interesting part is if Russia tries to protest and if so what language they use. Turkey can only close in time of war, so we might get to see some more information about how Russia is choosing to spin the conflict.

Japan in WWII is probably the better comparison.
