LOBO:
"Is Grozny such a stretegic place that Russia sees it as a all or nothing campaign? Or is it politics and elections?"

right on the money - it's about politics. It would be more of a symbolic victory by capturing a "mighty" capital..

betterthanyou,

is it true about Putin withdrawing troops? If so, please provide me with a link, man..

wow the US just went on full alert defcon 4 and is scambling all military personel for full deployment. news on CNN.

betterthanyou,
you're actually had me there, for a second
😉
are we a little bored?

sorry bro, just messing around. had ya going there for a minute. Bet ya adder was searching for something to cut and paste. Ya I'm bored to death here at work...

If it's true about the withdrawal, I don't think Russia will admit defeat. Well I guess Grozny is just like Belgrade except probably worst. A bunch of burnt out and bombed buildings that nobody knows what to do with. I guess Russia and the US do have something in common. We both know how to destroy cities very quickly and not admit to the mistake.

you too, huh? as far as me - well market's up so I got sh1tload of work, but, heck, that can wait..

LOBO,
that was a prank, buddy..we're just a lttle bored here..

Hey it makes the day go by. With all the problems around us a little humor and practical joking sometimes helps us forget. except for those fanatical towel heads...

Ameen..

Well I'm with you guys and i definitely need to get back to work, hasta manana (until tomorrow).

was there really a mistake in destroying belgrade?

see ya LOBO..

tough question..I'd say -YES, it was, cuz Nato wasn't dealing with terrorists, but rather with an official Yugo government..pretty shitty government, but still..

I'm sorry once again to dissapoint you but the above mentionned general was not captured but killed on Jan. 17 in a crossfire ambush. He received 2 bullets in the back and 1 in the head.
