The continual bombardment of Chechnya by Russian forces is utterly disgusting. Without having full knowledge of the history of the Chechen people I am still inclined to find this campaign deplorable. Having just joined this forum I may not be in the best position to comment on the content of our discussions but I will anyway! Maybe we need to consider what is happening there; what the NATO chiefs are not doing about it and why; what the EU doesn't seem to be doing, and why; what we, as geographers are not saying about it and why; and also the implications for that region of the world and the people living there. Not only this, but perhaps some contributions by some people 'in the know' wouldn't go a miss within this forum. It seems that NATO actions are argued against (understandably) but Russian imperialism is given a big body-swerve. Why the lack of interest or lack of knowledge?
