This is Chechnya.
In 1999, the Russians erased the capital Grozny. But three years before that, Russia signed a peace treaty with the Chechens. They already lost the war and needed a break. Only to come back and kill up to 300,000 Chechens, 25% of the entire small but proud nation that simply wanted freedom.
This is how peace talks with Moscow always end.
Meanwhile, back in the good 'ol U.S. of A!
