VLADIMIR Putin's warlord Ramzan Kadyrov today admitted he "might not live long" as he appeared bloated in a bizarre video.
The Chechen brute - one of Putin's closest allies - posted the footage to "prove he is still alive".
The 46-year-old bearded strongman was hit by a swirl of rumours over the weekend that he was close to death from kidney or liver problems.
His discoloured right hand in the video suggests he has undergone recent medical treatment, according to reports.
In the footage, Kadyrov is seen with Russian MP Adam Delimkhanov - who was reported to have been killed or wounded in the Ukraine war in June after being targeted by a missile strike.
While both are seen alive, neither looked well.

Even close Putin allies are known to fear Kadyrov.
With three current wives, he has ruled Chechnya for 16 years

Could be a diabetic.
I’ve taken a look at the folks on the Russian side (Putin, Kadyrov, etc.).
And I’ve taken a look at the folks on the Ukrainian side (Zelenskyy, Biden, etc.).
I’ve reached this conclusion. There are no good guys on either side. None. So it’s best that the United States stay completely out of it.
That won’t happen, of course.
Don’t Putin’s associates usually die from falling out of windows?
Chechen scum
Is this your latest man crush, Marcus? He’s too young for you, isn’t he?
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for July 3, 2023:
- Ukraine’s offensive reaches the 1 month mark and has made relatively little progress beyond the security zones ahead of Russia’s main defenses;
- This is mainly owed to Russian mine fields and Ukraine’s inability to clear them while under fire;
- Ukraine’s artillery shell supply is limited, the longer the offensive takes, the less ammunition Ukraine will have to support and exploit any breakthroughs that do occur;
- Mounting Ukrainian losses mean that any achievements made during the offensive will be difficult to consolidate no matter where on the map the offensive ends;
- Unable to breach Russian defenses, Ukraine and its NATO sponsors appear to be exploring “alternative” options to change battlefield dynamics including continued attempts to accuse Russia of planning to destroy the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant;
Looks like “The Sun” is doing clickbait headlines to earn a few extra GB Pounds! His hand looks fairly normal to me...(for a guy who could lose a few lbs.).
He looks like a fat Rasputin.
Looks to me like the kind of skin discoloration that follows blast injuries. I.e, from internal organ damage. Including the brain. I’d say he’s out of the fight for quite a while.
You’re certainly right about the comparative virtue of both sides. It seems to me that we should back the side from which we will benefit most. As unstylish as it may sound, we should be on America’s side. Remember in WWII that Russia was Hitler’s ally before it was ours, but was again our nemesis by wars’ end.
> we should back the side from which we will benefit most <
That’s a sensible argument, and one I’d agree with in theory. We would certainly benefit more if Ukraine won the war.
However, a cost analysis must also be done. Is the American treasure spent (and the risks taken) worth the possible result obtained? I just don’t see that here.
The EU leadership would probably see all that differently. Well, okay. The EU has money. Let them fund the Ukrainians. Leave us out of it.
It looks to me like Raynaud syndrome.
Just another useless thread where Freepers rip into each other. And Freepers wonder why conservatives are losing most of the battles to the leftists.
Russia. Ukraine.
Two scorpions in a bottle.
There is an old fable about red ants and black ants in a bottle. The two ant types co-exist peacefully in the bottle. There are no problems. Then someone violently shakes the bottle. The red ants and the black ants get agitated, and go at each other. The fight continues until one side is destroyed.
As I see it, that’s not a bad analogy for the current Ukraine/Russia situation.
One side - the Russian side - has nukes aimed at America's heartland. So I've reached this conclusion. It's best that Russia fail in its 16-month-long invasion of Ukraine.
America has had absolutely no geopolitical reason to yearn for a weaker Ukraine. America has every reason to hope for a weakened, emasculated, and/or dissected Russia.
Regards,
One of which - Ukraine - has never posed even the slightest geopolitical threat to America.
Regards,
Yeah, I know Alex. That’s why I’ve been saying from the start of this whole thing that it’s none of our concern.
