    Good

    Normally I don’t like to piss on someone’s grave, but literally everybody will be better off with certain people gone from this world.

    He’s one of them.

    Recently, he has deteriorated significantly, looks very swollen, and often cannot open his eyes in videos. It is believed that Kadyrov has serious kidney problems, according to Ahmed Zakayev, the former deputy prime minister of Ichkeria, who is in exile.

    Sounds like someone has been taking tea with Putin.

    Kadyrov brought a doctor from the United Arab Emirates to Chechnya because he does not trust Moscow doctors.

    Wait what i thought he and Pootin were friends?

      Putin is ex-KGB (directly subservient); Kadyrov thinks he was poisoned by the GRU (Russian military, not quite so directly subservient).

      Both under Putin, but competing intelligence services in a country where leadership is defined by infighting. It’s a tossup as to whether Putin ordered it or simply allowed it, in the same way that someone Putin favors today can die of lead poisoning out a window in an airplane crash by suicide tomorrow.

    Given that his grip on Chechnya is a personal one, and unlikely to smoothly transfer to a successor, and maintained by fear, it may do well for Putin to keep him on life support indefinitely, with functionaries relaying “his” orders to followers. Sort of like Warhammer 40K, or perhaps Weekend At Bernie’s.

      And you think someone’s not gonna try to opportunistically off Kadyrov if he’s kept in that state indefinitely?

      I see Chechnya collapsing into a quagmire again. There’s still a lot of people living there who aren’t fans of the Russian occupation, to put it mildly.

      I fucking love that this sentence now exists.

    I’m skeptical. I keep reading this exact headline about Putin, Kadyrov and Lukashenko. I’m not saying it’s not true this time, but there have been a lot of false reports in regards to this.

      I think the Luka news about hospitalization were true, though. I might be wrong, but IIRC, it was verified by several sources. Presumably he was in the hospital for “normal” reasons, and got better.

    There’s a very short list of people where i was genuinely happy to hear they died. It’s reserved for people like Saddam or Gaddafi. This guy is very much a candidate.

      A Moscow puppet who did a good job at keeping the Chechens from rebelling again. Without him it will be interesting to see if they rise up with the Russian army preoccupied as it is
