Moscow is getting ready for the great war in Northern Caucasus
I don't think they are kidding. I am getting confirmation on this from different sources.
Note:
Chinese troops, in a joint exercise with Russia, will be in the Northern Caucasus.
The United States foresees the Northern Caucasus as a new theatre of operations. #msg-10248118
The United States in the past has instigated dissention in the North Caucasus through backing the Chechens. Could still be doing the same. #msg-4589620
The US Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld recently announced America's future war plans after the Pentagon completed it's Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), a four-yearly strategy review. Christened the 'Long War' and modelled after the 'Cold War', the plan marks an attempt to re-package and re-market the 'War on Terror' to an increasingly sceptical American public and beyond.
The report goes on to envisage Americas new theatre of operations as including the Horn of Africa, North Africa, central and south-east Asia the Northern Caucasus as well as the Middle East.

With Peace Mission 2005 behind them, Russia and China are planning for new military exercises, this time to take place in southern Russia. Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev stated on March 2 that Russia and China have "made plans to conduct exercises in spring 2007 in [Russia's] Southern Federal District". According to Nurgaliyev, the joint exercises will include special forces from China's Public Security Ministry, in addition to special forces and regular troops from Russia's Interior Ministry. The exercises, described by Nurgaliyev as large-scale, will "develop skills for cooperation in accomplishing objectives to counter the threat of terrorism". #msg-10248118

Moscow is getting ready for the great war in Northern Caucasus
The observers, special services and journalists all over Russia discuss an opportunity of great war throughout Northern Caucasus which some commentators have already baptized as "the second caucasian war. The serious signs of impendent war also specify various western analytical sources, in particular experts of Jamesstone university of USA .
The Kremlin is getting ready for it. By the beginning of 2005 Moscow has concentrated 300 000 soldiers in Caucasus . Part of them, more than 100 000 (according to some data up to 200 000), are directly in the Chechen Republic .
Up to now the Russian forces have been dispersed over significant territory, including Rostov area which is populated by Russians , the Krasnodar and Stavropol territories. Currently, Moscow concentrates them in the Caucasian republics.
Yet on the 13th May the head of armies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russian Federation Rogojkin declared, that additional units of his formations will be entered into Elista (Kalmikia), Cherkessk, Nalchik and Sochi. The militarization of all Northern Caucasus goes at full speed.
In the beginning of 2006 the brigades and battalions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Northern Caucasus will be replaced with regiments and divisions. Instead of battalions with 600 trunks there will be regiments with 2000. Besides in Dagestan and Karachaevo - Circassia will be based 2 additional mountain brigades. Officially they will serve supposedly " for the protection of borders ". But actually the task of the mountain brigade in Karachaevo - Circassia consists in protection of the Black sea coast against attacks of mojaheds, and the brigade in Dagestan will defend the coast of Caspian sea from attacks of mojaheds from the Chechen Republic .
At the same time Russian occupational garrisons will be reinforced in the Chechen Republic , Kabardino-Balkariyas, Ingushetia and Northern Ossetia .
This year Putin's regime has already began openly to prepare the citizens for general war in Caucasus . And this is after 6 years since he has publicly promised to people to finish with Chechen mojaheds within 2-3 months.
Prospects of total war openly are openly discussed even in army circles. Among the officers of an occupational grouping in the Chechen Republic this theme is one of main issue. Practically nobody doubts, that general destabilization and bloody fights are not far off.
The local puppet militia under the order of the Kremlin are trying to anticipate mojaheds and carry out so-called "stripping". Especially actively operate the puppet militiamen in Dagestan where their losses grow day by day due to impacts of Dagestan mojaheds.
In Ingushetia for prevention of possible scale operations from the mojaheds side, armies and local puppet militia establish new blocks and block roads between a mountain part of republic and plain. In Kabardino-Balkariya mombers of OMON regularly comb the area of Elbrus. Recently in suburb of Nalchik they have implemented searches in all houses after there were killed some militiamen.
Practically all observers and commentators specify that mojaheds have kept their promise, expanded a zone of guerrilla operation all over Northern Caucasus . Along with Dagestan, the attacks of mojaheds take place in Kabardino-Balkariya, Karachaevo - Circassia , Ingushetia.
According to last military sessions of mojaheds command under the supervision of the president Sheikh Abdul-Halim Sadulaev, significant activization of mojaheds in Northern Caucasus is expected. Thus commentators reckon that the establishments of the control from the mojaheds side in important territories is almost inevitable.

US and Israel warn of potential terrorist attack in Russia
05.04.2006
US Department of State
US State Department advised Americans to take precautions when traveling in Russia, saying a heightened potential for terrorist attack remains in the country. "Presently, there is no specific indication that American institutions or citizens are targets, but there is a general risk of American citizens being victims of indiscriminate terrorist attacks", the announcement said. The State Department said Americans should avoid areas where crowds are expected to gather, take commonsense precautions and register with the American Embassy or nearest consulate general. The department also reiterated a travel warning to Americans for the north Caucasus region. "Due to continued civil and political unrest throughout much of the Caucasus region, the Department of State already warns US citizens against travel to Chechnya and all areas that border it: North Ossetia, Ingushetia, Daghestan, Stavropol, Karachayevo-Cherkessiya and Kabardino-Balkaria", the announcement said.
According to our sources at the end of March the Israeli Counter Terrorism Staff (under the National Security Council) - LUTAR also issued a warning to the citizens traveling to Russia. Based on the intelligence data it especially warned of visiting the areas of Russia bordering Chechnya, in Chechnya and Chechen-Georgian border. There are special warnings that local terrorists groups may aspire to kidnap or harm Israelis.
As for the security feeling among the natives, adults in Russia are split over the possibility of a terrorist attack. According to a poll by the Public Opinion Foundation. 44 percent of respondents think an act of terrorism is likely to take place in their area, Angus Reid Global Scan reported. Last month, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NATC) held its first meeting in Moscow. NATC chairman and Federal Security Service director Nikolay Patrushev declared, "Our aim is to minimize the possibility of terrorist acts. The terrorist threat is real and serious". The NATC will be responsible for drafting a plan to improve counter-terrorism strategies in the North Caucasus.
Several terrorist incidents in Russia have been blamed on the Chechen separatists, including two airplane crashes, a suicide bombing in Moscow, the assassination of Chechnya’s president Akhmad Kadyrov in May 2004, and two high-profile incursions - one in October 2002 inside a Moscow theatre, and another in a Beslan middle school in September 2004. Last month, Russia’s new anti-terrorism bill was signed into law. The legislation was presented in December 2004 - just three months after the Beslan attack - but was stalled due to strong criticism about the possible violation of civil liberties. The polling data shows that despite the new bill and NATC creation 44 percent fear that the secret services are unable to prevent a terrorist act in their living area. 42 percent believe it will not take place and 14 left undecided. One of the most contentious provisions of the anti-terrorism bill allows the Russian military to shoot down hijacked passenger planes. Only 26 percent of respondents approve of this clause, while 46 – disapprove.
