The United States government have repeatedly stated throughout the 20th and 21st century that they would defend human rights at home and abroad. Chechnya has had a history of human rights abuses, but have recently started a gross campaign of violence and ethnic cleansing against homosexuals including (but not limited to) confirmed torture, mass executions and even concentration camps, some of the biggest since the holocaust. The United States government should uphold the rights of the Chechnyan people (regarded as an independent nation by Russia) by

removing those responsible for these crimes against humanity and restore order in the region, even if it requires military action.
