Trump has Putin over a barrel (of oil)

[Jim the Moron]

There are exceptions, I agree, but in the end the Chechens got a lot of goodies, and a sparkling new capital... I bet they think they got the best deal possible...

See. It is impossible for you to admit that Russia is a bad guy. Or it will shake your worldview which will cause you mental anguish. Or, as Steve said, you might be one of Putin's paid keyboard warriors. Is the money good?

Grozny during the war against Russia



Grozny as it is now, after the Russian government helped to rebuild it



Is this propaganda? Probably yes, but the facts remain. Chechens suffered during the war and have it now a lot better than they ever had. When will the "good guys" - the US - rebuild Iraqi and Syrian cities in the same manner?...

Mosul after the "good guys" liberated it



When will the US start rebuilding Mosul?...

Let's see. Grozny is a city in Russia. Kinda makes sense that the Russians might have an interest in rebuilding it. Mosul? It was destroyed because of Islamic savagery there. Someday Islam might take it upon itself to eliminate barbaric Muslim savages. Until that fine day arrives, expect more cities destroyed and more children slaughtered. And, until that fine day arrives, Muslims know better than to try to rebuild their destroyed cities.

Yeah. That's right. Why would anybody want to spend money rebuilding Mosul? Knowing Muslims, they will soon destroy it again.

Since WWII, there was no war that I did not want America to win.

Tough luck on you!... I'm afraid that in the coming few decades you will have very few chances to celebrate...

Mosul was destroyed by savages, but not Muslim ones, just western ones riding planes...

ISIS had nothing to do with it, right?

ISIS was occupying Mosul and therefore had no reason to destroy it. The American led coalition were the ones wanting to dislodge ISIS, and they couldn't care less about the destruction which would ensue from such attempt. They were the savages and have no intention to rebuild what they destroyed.

[Jim the Moron]

"ISIS was occupying Mosul and therefore had no reason to destroy it."
Then why did they destroy so much of the city?

They didn't. The coalition did, to dislodge them. Although I guess that once the street by street fight started, ISIS fire contributed to the destruction.

JIM: you failed to mention that the soldiers who retook Mosul from the "barbaric Muslim savage" were themselves Muslims. Was your omission intended to misinform readers to the effect that it was some indeterminate sort of non-Muslims, possibly Americans, who rescued Mosul from ISIS?

ISIS made bloody sure that non combatant civilians in Mosul stayed where they were during the fighting and distributed their fighters among them for the purpose (apart from compulsory creating more martyrs for Allah) of maximising civilian casualties from both Iraqi firepower and coalition bombing. Anyone who now condemns either force for unavoidable loss of civilian life is therefore an ISIS dupe doing that evil movement's work.

Wake up!
