The post enlightenment period is the period in which what made the world great (christianity) was shunned by the west, and thus, its inheritance. Putin won't invade and there will be no war. The real problem in the world is communist ideology, most obvious in the CCP, and then in the USA, and then Russia.
They have it all backwards.

The latest poll released on Friday by the independent Levada Center – considered the most reliable glimpse into public opinion within the authoritarian state – shows an increase in the number of Russians who support the war, now at 75%. The biggest jump came from the 45% who now say they “definitely support” Russia’s invasion compared to the 30% those who “rather support” it.
Apparently true...Guest wrote: Sun Feb 27, 2022 8:24 am The stories about "10,000" Chechen fighters" attacking the Ukraine are Russian BS. The are a few hundred stationed in the Crimea, but Chechens hate Russians and the Russians only use them as special forces units in places like the Kavkaz and Syria. Putin is quite wary of Chechens. Putin uses them as a form of psychological warfare.
There are more Chechens fighting against the Russians in Ukraine right now than fighting for them.
Chechnya is now ruled by Quisling gangsters. Kadyrov's gangsters terrorize the Chechen population. Only chechen traitors serve Russia. Even among the Chechens in uniform, there is hatred of Russians. Many serve to have a pay check and allow rebels to move freely around the Kavkaz.
All the stats that come out of Chechnya are false. The best breakdown on Chechen population is: 1/3 killed by Russian army (mostly through bombardment), 1/3 exiled to Europe, and 1/3 captive in Chechnya.

“Chechen forces’ performance has been rather lackluster despite Chechens being engaged in some of the most intense combat areas in eastern Ukraine,” Stepanenko says. “Chechen fighters have been consistently avoiding engaging in direct combat and are continuing to do so.”
She notes that shortly after Putin ordered Chechens to the front lines fight in Marinka, Kadryov instead has asked that some of his forces deploy to the Belgorod region inside Russia near Ukraine’s northern border.
“Kadyrov is likely attempting to conserve his forces, which is likely why we are not seeing Chechens involved in relentless assaults similar to Wagner Group,” Stepanenko says.

Ukraine’s main intelligence directorate, the GUR, released information this week showing a Russian logistics convoy had come under assault by battle-hardened Chechen fighters fighting under the newly formed Ichkerian Department of Military Intelligence.
Can Kasapoglu, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, noted in his latest Ukraine Military Situation Report that the incident “carries deep implications for inter-Chechen machinations playing out on the battlefield.”
Akhmed Zakaev, a leader of these pro-Ukrainian Chechen forces operating in exile and a veteran of the independence movement in the 1990s, “aims to use the Russia-Ukraine War to advance his cause in the Caucasus. The Ichkerian detachments’ operations in the Russian Federation mark a milestone in the Chechen dimension of the current conflict,” Kasapoglu assesses, noting also Kadyrov’s attempts to ingratiate himself with Putin.
“Alongside the main conflict there, it is now evident that a Chechen civil war – between anti-Kadyrov and pro-Kadyrov factions – is playing out on Ukrainian soil,” he writes. “This week’s developments mark a new stage of escalation in that fight.”
