Considering how other Muslims chant shite like "river to the sea" for decades, I don't get how Chechens, who were tore up from the floor up by the Russians 20 years ago, just decide they're going to actively help the regime.

Shittons of money from the Kremlin to a negative local economy.

Basically, Chechnya broke away from Russia when the Soviet Union collapsed, and Russia wouldn't them go... they launched a war to reclaim it but didn't win and there was a ceasefire... then Putin came into power, the Chechens suddenly bombed a Russian apartment building and killed a lot of people (to gain... the independence that they had?) and Putin made it his big thing to launch a war and pummel them into submission. Warlord Kadyrov (current Chechen ruler's father) decided his best move was to betray his fellow Chechen Warlords and make a deal with Putin to be appointed leader, so his army slaughtered the other Chechen militias. Somebody blew him up a couple of years later.

So... uh, "Chechens" don't like Russia or Putin, but they're stuck with him and oppressed by the son of a traitor to their country. If anything happens to Putin, Kadyrov will get the Ghadaffi public retirement plan in hours.
