In a new documentary focusing on Vladimir Putin’s 15 years in power, the Russian president says communications intercepted in the early 2000s show direct contacts between North Caucasus separatists and the US secret services.
"At one point our secret services simply detected direct contacts between militants from the North Caucasus and representatives of the United States secret services in Azerbaijan," Putin said in the film, released by Rossiya 1 TV channel on Sunday.
Someone over there, especially the West's intelligence services, obviously thought that if they act to destabilize their main geopolitical rival, which, as we now understand, in their eyes has always been Russia, it would be good for them. It turned out, it wasn't," Putin muses, saying he had warned the West about the possible dangers of supporting terrorists.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, Russia was engaged in a conflict with militant separatists in the North Caucasus, who often resorted to terror attacks. This led to a prolonged counter-terrorism operation, which only officially ended in 2009.
Whelp , I have been studying Chechnya for many years and Its Resistance .
I am Inclined to believe that Ramzan Is starting to grow a pair in regards to dealing with Putin.
I wonder if the CIA is whispering in his ear . "go ahead stand up to Putin we have your back "
Ramzan is a Puppet but I truly believe he want's the best for his people and he has done allot for Chehcnya ( With the help of the crimlin )
You see control over caucasus mountains (KAVKAZ ) would be a strategic advantage let say "if someone wanted to attack Russia " *cough* ....
Within Kavkaz we have Mujahadden (holy warriors ) or Chechen /dagestan Resistance fighters that Ramzan has been fighting for years ! . Guess who supposedly received training from them ? ....that's right the Boston Bombers.
So now we have them on the US radar for "attacking the USA" . I am hypothetically speaking here but What do you think would happen if the "chechen /dagestan Resistance where to "attack the US again" ? do you think Ramzan would allow the US into KAVKAZ to help fight the resistance ? I think so now that he is supposedly making his move for independence.
Now with regard to the resistance or Mujahadeen in the Kavkaz regions , I know for a fact that Amirs ( leaders ) have declared that they will not endorse or support ISIS .
In fact their is a big FITNA (discord )between the Chechens that went to syria from kavakz because the chechen's in syria wanted to swear allegiance to ISIS but the leaders in KAVKAZ said "no that they were khuaraij " (extremist).
so long story short something stinks with this , I am inclined to believe CIA spooks might be involved , its still a little early to tell .
Also I would like to Add that the Mujahadeen in chehcnya have openly stated that they had no involvement in the Boston bombings nor do they know of the brothers who did it .
i believe part of the quote was " Our war is here at home not abroad".
Whelp we just wait and see what play's out now .

Kadyrov is Putin's bulldog who has already declared undying loyalty to Putin and got a big shiny best of all time medal from Putin in return. Kadyrov's men run freely in Russia and the secret service cannot even touch them without Putin's approval.
Bunch of bunk.

A comment made by Putin, about a "gotcha!" moment directed at the west, in a documentary about the memorable moments in Putin's time at the top of the heap, and reported by RT.
Well I sure don't see any possibility of propaganda here.
Aukai Collins, born on February 13, 1974, also known as Aqil Collins, is an American of Irish descent who converted to Islam and fought with Islamic Chechen irregulars of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. He was wounded in combat with elements of a Russian Spetsnaz unit from which he subsequently lost his leg.
He then, among other things, went on to work as a deep cover intelligence operative for the FBI.

The last time Putin expected terrorists in Georgia he sent tanks and threatened its sovereignty. But the USA was talking to the terrorists so that justification to send troops.... please
I'm not defending US foreign policy but this blind defense of Russia is crazy.

Of course. His track record shows that Putin takes what Putin wants. He will continue to poke the USA and UN because he knows they don't want full scale war and isn't scared of sanctions because European nations need Russia
