Mmm wonder why the sudden change? Many Kadyrovites dying in Ukraine?
Kadyrov is known for his bolshy rhetoric and wild claims of Chechen strength. His troops have been called on by Russia to assist in the war.
He has previously claimed that he and his army are ready to take on the West toe-to-toe and "easily take Kyiv and the NATO countries".
Sounds like Kadyrov is being threatened from both flanks. His buddy, Putin, on one flank and some other Muslim Chechen terrorist who wants his job on the other flank. He has decided to take a pass on the 72 virgins in favor of spending a few more years on this planet looking for 1 virgin he might be able to get lucky with.
