Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya since 2007, was diagnosed with pancreatic necrosis in 2019. It was reported last week that his health has taken a serious turn for the worse, and he is in “critical condition” with perhaps months left to live. Novaya Gazeta Evropa broke the story based on research dating to 2019, including reports of Kadyrov missing many key public appearances, including the United Russia Party Congress in December of last year. Appearing in photos with Vladimir Putin last September, the Chechen leader’s face appeared bloated. A PR video of Kadyrov pumping iron in a gym was released this week to promote an image of health. It is not very convincing; he is lifting at most 50 percent the weight, usually far less, than I, a sixty-five-year-old getting a hip replacement next month, can lift. Ramzan is not in good health.
Chechnya has been reasonably stable since Ramzan took over as president at age thirty, three years after his father Akhmat, also president, was blown up in a Victory Day celebration in May 2004. The relationship between Putin and Kadyrov, while framed as like father and son, is actually a Faustian bargain. Kadyrov receives huge subsidies from Moscow to distribute as he sees fit and free sway in controlling the notoriously troublesome republic. Putin gets a stable Chechnya, and Kadyrov has been eager to support Putin by sending more than 20,000 Chechen soldiers to the war in Ukraine and carrying out the occasional political assassination.

Interesting article
How about America’s illegal immigration and Muslim immigrant time bomb which is about to destroy us. You and your Zeeper CIA/MI-6 go alongs are an utterly useless noisy distraction to try to keep the US from fixing itself. PS our huge problem is not Ruzzzia. It some other little country in WESTPAC you apparnetly never heard of.
No it’s not interesting. It is Zeeper, Oh My God Ruzzia is about to collapse and Putin is going to die just keep the aid coming to the deepstater, uh, er Ukraine we are almost there noise.
No worries, Secretary of State Jared will certainly sort it all out!
“Kushner, who was at Donald Trump’s re-election announcement, launched his Miami-based investment firm, Affinity Partners.
He hasn’t made any attempt to return to politics since his appearance at Mar-a-Lago with his father-in-law. He’s also not commented on reports he could serve as secretary of state in a second Trump term.”
Always accusing others aren’t you?
I despise illegal immigration and the only solution is to elect Trump.
I suggest you get a nice world map or globe out, open your eyes and take note of the rest of the world.
Then maybe you won’t start attacking people about our border when you read an article about Chechnya.
We should encourage turmoil.
Wow it greatly bothers you that NEWS exists.
I get it, after you foam at the mouth about “globohomos” then you scream and yell about “zeepers”, no matter what the topic is.
Now this news article is “zeeper”.
Wake up.
Have you read the news lately?
Commies, Marxists and their sympathizers are overrunning the nation which is the result in part of 100yrs of Russia meddling in our country which is currently destroying us.
I have no idea what Chechnya has to do with us securing our own borderl.
I went to school with a lot of our commies, marxists and their sympathizers. All of them were born and bred Americans raised on the dregs of philosophy taught in American schools. You can trace a lot of it back to Marcuse, but there are a lot of other really bad German philosophers behind it to as well as a lot of radical American Jews. At this moment this is mostly a domestic problem. But go look for Ruzzians in your closet. It will make Putin really happy.

The Marxists are in charge of the Democratic Party. They've received support from the former Soviet Union.
And yes, the Russians are still meddling in our politics today.
...the People’s Republic of China is moving at breathtaking speed in space, and they are rapidly developing a range of counter-space weapons to hold at risk our space capabilities, but they’re also using space to make their terrestrial forces – their army, their navy, their marine corps, their air force – more precise, more lethal, and more far-ranging.
What should concern you is that the US military acquisition process, including the process that is spending the gazillions for the stuff for Ukraine that you Zeepers are all screaming about does not move a breathtaking speed. It moves at the speed of the US Pentagon, which is not very fast.
And that is the geostrategic problem I am worried about while all you Rluzzia fascinated morons look for Putin zombies in your closets. Source: https://www.state.gov/digital-press-briefing-with-general-stephen-whiting-commander-u-s-space-command/
I think it pales compared to what we shall be facing with our immigrants from around the globe. I believe our numbers are greater than the Chechen numbers, by at least 10 million. The majority of the new comers are military aged men as well.
I think that I got it!
Commies usually start with porous borders as anyone that supports the cause is welcome.
Yet somehow our open borders are NOT caused by communists!
I’d be interested in figuring out that head scratcher.
Similar to my interest in concussing myself 136 times by banging my head against the wall.
