The first Great Satan?

Aside from India and Israel , probably no modern industrialized nation has suffered to the degree that Russians have at the hands of Islamic terrorists. Having held the “Great Satan” title long before it was transferred to the USA , Muslim militants have taken particular glee in tormenting Russians.

When the Chechens managed to kick the Russian bear out of their country during the First Chechen war in the early 90's, I for one applauded their actions.
The Chechens had a certain amount of good-will in the West, for their fight for independence from the Russians. But by linking up with the Jihadist they squandered it.
Now that they are playing the terrorist game with the aid of al Quada and the other Jihadists they have lost all credibility. They became just one more element of the Islamic terrorist network that has to be hunted down and eliminated.
It's ironic in a way!
