Severe crimes against people were being committed before Russia interceded. There was much innocent bloodshed, but what was going on without Russian intervention was terrible. Also, Oil Diamonds Cash Money 420

Certain swine like human traffickers, rapists, religious nutfucks, they seemed to have congregated there for a good while until they got rekt

>>2315611
Putin personally led hit squads into the streets of Chechnya to execute women and children

>>2315611
Kind of like a hub for really terrible pieces of trash bag monkeys. The swine of Eurasia were exploiting geographical anomalies such as the cacausus

Those were men that defected, dipshit. Did you know there were child sex slaves by the thousands in places like Grozny?

Western media, everyone

For Russian-speaking part I can recommend "Я - Кaлибp-10", a compilation of maps, documents and interviews of the first battle of Grozny. "Днeвник oкoпнoгo гeнepaлa" — a detailed and expanded diary of one of the few competent generals of that war, the book describes both wars and a bit of peacetime.
In terms of documentaries, "Aд" by Nevzorov, "60 чacoв мaйкoпcкoй бpигaды" are pretty good. There is also an unedited videofootage from what was intended as a documentary on 276 motorifle regiment, that can be found on Youtube.

>While similar actions by US in Iraq 10 years later are somehow okay
Who says that? Even ardent conservatives are now admitting that the Iraq War was a mistake. Whataboutism drives me up the fucking wall.

This. And in what fucking bizarro universe "western media" was uncritical ? As far as i know there was critical Media even in murica and here in Germany our fucking chancellor went live on air and condemned the war. He ran his fucking campaign on an anti war agenda and won. I swear to god this russian meme of muh western Media is so retarded. Your fucking country is the one with state controlled Media and censorship. Maybe try watching more than one channel that confirms your butthurt russian autism.

>>2315937
Saying that Iraq is a mistake doesn't really mean that they care about what happened to the Iraqis
If anything many who believe the war was a mistake believe that they should have simply nuked the place.
>inb4 muh heartie feely regressive leftie boogeyman
Even those guys that people complain about so much would have supported the war if it was done by a democrat, see Obama and Bill "half a million children dead" Clinton

>>2316094
Ah moving the goal posts i see.

>muh western Media as a whole was uncritical

Refuted.

>muh le regressive left
>Bill Clinton killed 6 gorillion serbs who were innocent and only wanted to be left alone to do some ethnic cleansing

Off yourself Vladimir.

This, OP. Prepare for an extremely dark and depressing book about man on man rape, selling weapons to the enemy and general shittiness.

>>2315611
These wars wasnt standart local separatism. Chechen bands had a massive support from central government - since Soviet times.
KGB was preparing a lot of commanders in their bases, also they were disarming Cossacks, other Russian settlers during 1987-1991. FSB - its Russian succesor - was providing weapons, money for Chechens. Eltsyn surrended in 1996 instead of full crush and punishment. He recognized independent Ichkeria, but havent built border: Chechen bands were allowed to trip in Russia freely, FSB was resuming weapon delivery.
Putin started new war, but saved Chechens from complete defeat again, legalised majority of bands and started massive reparations to keep terrorist activity (we have money - no need to work - lets shoot and explode).

I'm a French, so that's irrelevant.

>our fucking chancellor went live on air and condemned the war.
Do you know the difference between criticizing the war itself and criticizing the actions of soldiers in field

>muh war crimes were not criticized

What was Abu Ghraib? What was the ban on waterboarding etc.?
