Grozny?

How was Grozny crushed? Missiles? Tanks?

He’s referencing how the outgunned, out-armed, and out-numberd chechyans held off the russian army. Notionally it’s a model for Tea Party vs the US. As I hinted, it ignores the fact the Chechyans had a massive terrain advantage. Add they also had a near-unified population and were receiving support from other Islamic nations. The Tea Party may have the near-unified population, but not where they have terrain advantages.

One more add to this. The Chechyans post-USSR are not well off economically. Better to be free and starving…
