Radical Chechen President Becoming Ticking Time Bomb For Putin

Analysts following what appears to be a developing political crisis in Russia suspect the growing tensions engulfing the Kremlin may be a product of the workings of Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov, once a loyal ally to President Vladimir Putin.

On February 27, a gunman murdered opposition leader Boris Nemtsov in Moscow just feet away from the Kremlin. Russians and international media immediately suspected it was an inside job, especially when the Kremlin revealed the security cameras were not working due to maintenance.

Eyebrows raised higher when the Kremlin arrested four Chechens for the murder. One man, Zaur Dadayev, confessed to the murder. Dadayev is a “former deputy commander in a Chechen police unit” and close to Kadyrov, who claimed Dadayev was “fully devoted to Russia” on his Instagram account. ....

Nemtsov recently noticed a “fray” between Putin and Kadyrov. Putin has continued publicly supporting Kadyrov, despite the numerous human rights violations in Chechnya. Giving Kadyrov the presidency allowed the 38-year-old to “create the Islamic republic that Chechen separatists had dreamed of – albeit one entirely reliant on Moscow for financial support and where Shariah law is selective, not absolute.” But critics believe Kadyrov is now “seeking power and relevance far beyond his base” within Chechnya. Nemtsov was one of the more outspoken critics of this relationship.

“I cannot understand what Putin expects when arming 20,000 Kadyrovtsy gathered today in the stadium in Grozny,” Nemtsov wrote on Facebook. “What will happen next? The country is entering a crisis. There is not enough money for anything, including the support of regions. And the unspoken contract between Putin and Kadyrov — money in exchange for loyalty — ends. And where will 20,000 Kadyrovtsy go? What will they demand? How will they behave? When will they come to Moscow?”

Chechen policemen are allowed to travel throughout Russia with their weapons and with few other restrictions. And Kadyrov maintains a regiment of bodyguards in Moscow. They are very unpopular with the people, and supposedly they are unpopular with the Russian security services. There’s lots of rumors about why Putin allows this.

Infidels never seem to learn their lesson when dealing with Muslims.

You never known when the the time is right for Muslims to revert to the fundamentals of Islam. (Subjugating , converting or killing non-believers.)-Tom

I’m not going to cut and paste pictures however, this link is very interesting, I think it shows Kadyrov in his younger days as being quite a gangster punk, he seems to be in one of the pictures brandishing a pistol and having large chunks of money.

6th picture down, that must be him as a young man, smoking the cigarette. The first picture too, I think tells one of the kind of folks we are dealing with. Those muscles too seem too big to be from regular gym use.

I think this newspaper is one that has had journalists targetted and in a few cases, killed.

It's intelligent to pick unpopular groups as mercenaries, because they can't network with "your" people; also, as in this case, they are beholden to you. Of course, since they are muzzies, he'd better have a Plan B. :') Thanks Tailgunner Joe.
