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.

Some people just can't hold their polonium.

[–] vettnerk@lemmy.ml 72 points 1 year ago

Oh no, I hope it's nothing minor

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] vettnerk@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Hubi@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, but the way it was reported sounded like he was about to die.

[–] vettnerk@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That's just media doing what they always do: overhype

[–] Kekzkrieger@feddit.de 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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?

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It all ends the same, either you fall out a window or die from eating the wrong mushrooms

Correction, drinking the wrong tea.

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.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Mess and a half coming up, including potential secession.

I fucking love that this sentence now exists.

[–] Michal@programming.dev 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In Russia it's illegal to be critical.

I hear its a condition...... 😶

Why do they all seem to rock the amish look?

[–] vettnerk@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Most chechens are muslims. Same reason why other muslims have beards.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com -5 points 1 year ago

White people with unkempt beards?

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Get fucked slimeball

Is his cat okay though?

Wasn't he a Russian puppet?

[–] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

They do go early these days. Just a coincidence.

Talks like he just finished a professional eating competition and lost.
