Don Quixote is not a fairy tale. It is a tale of hopelessly outdated idea running amok in an idealist's mind. The parallel with you is obvious. Your idea is hopelessly outdated. You thrive on enmity. Geostrategic movements have gone past your mind-set.
Do you not realize that any positive interaction between Russia and Pakistan is bound to benefit India, since there is a certain degree of convergence in Russian and Indian views? Do you not realize that there is positive momentum in relations between India and Pakistan and that people with views like yours are gradually loosing relevance? I doubt you see things that way, and hence a very appropriate epithet of Don Quixote for you.

Irfan Baloch can say whatever he wants. That has no bearing upon my views. He wrote as though Syria is full to bursting with Chechens. That is of course not the case.
Chechnya was independent for a while and in those days no one could be certain if Russian federation could survive. I recall very well Berzinsky (spelling?) saying in 1996 that with Chechen success, Russia would be finished. This article noted the importance and impact of that temporary success of Chechens and how Russians took care to neutralize it. I do not know to what extent was there ever any support for Chechen cause from GOP. But now, after so many years it would be madness to think that GOP would have any interest in supporting a lost cause, especailly since Chechnya has a degree of autonomy and the current Governor is well in control and loyal to Russian federation.
Anyone who deliberately trolls in Senior section by setting bait should have their post deleted. I see no problem with that. As far as I am concerned, you, @
acid rain and others of your mind-set can go and cry a river about your failed efforts at trolling.
