Why war on Chechenia is ignored by the world community?

Question

Very obviously, Russia is sending its troops to stop Chechenia from being independent. I think if they want the independence, then the Russians should grant it.

Or at least, the Russians should not kill the Chechens. What rights do the Russians have of killing people, who demand the independence of their own soil?

My question is, why is this serious conflict not recognized by the world powers and the UN? If this kind of act was happening on the other part of the world, then the Americans would be involved in it, or the UN would take action.

Answer 2

I will never forget the Chechen's utter brutality and callousness that was perpetrated at Beslan. Hundreds of Children killed.
But that is a Muslim way of doing things. Non-Muslims count for nothing. Even young children. They can be callously killed to further a political cause.
I had some concern for the chechen people's suffering at the hand of Russian excesses. But no more. Beslan changed all of that. You have Mr. Akhmadiev and his thugs to thank for that.
That is why you are not worthy of much attention, and zero sympathy.
And I am not Russian nor Christian for that matter.
But if you behave like animals then be treated as a little less than human.

Answer 3

because russia is our friend and a major player in world politics (1 of 5 countries on the UN security counsel) so everyone looks the other way
