He’s probably at home reading through all of Hillary’s emails.

[TaxPayer2000]

He’s not dead Jim......

[Thunder90]

The Prime Minister, Dmitri Medeviev, was sent on those missions to meet with the leaders of Belarus and Kazakhstan.

[Talisker]

Its doubly weird, because not only is he MIA, it’s happened exactly when this whole Hillary email issue blew up.

[DesertRhino]

I’m wondering if this is related to the assassination of that other guy last week in sight of the Kremlin. I’m thinking they are making sure there are no other plots afoot before its business as usual.
You can bet if Beohner was assassinated within sight of the Capitol, Obama wouldn’t be out in public much this week.

That assassination must have been a bigger deal there than we understand. Or,,, they might think the side that blames Putin might try some sort of revenge.

But as they say, there is a lot of “chatter” out there.

Maybe Commissar Vlad was proving to be more trouble than he was wroth.

These things do happen.

In return, he has been one of Putin’s loudest and most loyal lieutenants (in the presidential elections in 2012, 99.76% of voters in Chechnya voted for Putin).

That is impressive, if he had done better in the debates, perhaps he could have improved on that 99.76%.

I think a coup in Moscow is very likely these days. Here are some Russian sources, with pictures: Internet rumor: Putin gone, Medvedev takes over

[EternalVigilance]

No matter how powerful you are, God always has the veto on your next breath.

[Rodamala]

By the government’s own logic, the prolonged absence of Putin begs the question–what is happening to the Russian state?

Good grief. What happened to writing? Editing? These hacks write about logic... but don't even know what "Begging the question" means.

Sorry, it's just a real pet peeve of mine. That is all.

[ozzymandus]

Pec implants gone wrong.

A little history on this guy.....Ramzan Akhmadovich Kadyrov.

He is the 'President of Chechnya ....son of former Chechen President Akhmad Kadyrov', assassinated in May 2004.

In February 2007 Kadyrov replaced Alu Alkhanov as President, shortly after he had turned 30, which is the minimum age for the post..... He has the support of Russian President Vladimir Putin and was awarded the Hero of Russia medal, the highest honorary title of Russia.....

Kadyrov was engaged in violent power struggles; with fellow Chechen government warlords Sulim Yamadayev and Said-Magomed Kakiev for overall military authority, and with Alu Alkhanov for political authority.

As President of Chechnya, Kadyrov has been credited for bringing some peace and stability to the region... He has also launched federally-sponsored renovations of the Chechen capital Grozny, which have completely transformed the war-ravaged city....

On the other hand, he has come under heavy criticism from international press and even at times, Russia, for allegations of corruption and human rights violations.

I get the impression Putin is not always supportive of this fellow.

[Conservative4Ever]

Speaking of mysterious absences...where is lazamataz these days?

[RebelTex]

This is the way the game is played in Communist controlled countries - coming to the U.S. soon (perhaps aready here).

Time is growing very short to save our country.

Trust in G-d and pray that we have enough time so that the first 3 will be up to the task.

[Mike Darancette]

Putin has a cold. (like many Russian leaders before him)

[bray]

There are rumors he had a major stroke. We can only hope.

Pray America is waking

[lazlohollyfeld]

Well-connected Russian friends of mine say he has had a stroke.
