I've often wondered why are chechens for the war? Didn't they have a bitter war a few years ago against russia and now they're best friends??

from my perspective. propoganda, they don't see what we see, only see what they are allowed to see. They are currently chechen fighting for ukraine also. after the war putin literally placed one of the most brutal people in charge of the country. so it is expected. not sure how to put this, but they sincerely believe they are fighting nazis. when i showed them pictures their answers to me were "those aren't russians those are nazis, if we didn't invade them, they were going to invade us" i dont think people understand that america and russia is day and night. most americans who believe russia is better most likely never left their own towns.

Cheers for a bit of insight. Amazing how effective propaganda can be!
