The withdrawal of Russian forces from a strategically important town in eastern Ukraine has prompted two powerful allies of President Vladimir Putin to do something rare in modern Russia: publicly ridicule the war machine's top brass.
Russia's loss of the bastion of Lyman, which puts western parts of Luhansk region under threat, touched a nerve for Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of the southern Russian republic of Chechnya.
Kadyrov, who has been close to Putin since his father and former president of Chechnya, Akhmad, was killed in a 2004 bomb attack in Grozny that also killed a Reuters photographer, suggested that Russia should consider using a small tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine in response to the loss.

The defence ministry did not respond to a request for comment. Russian officials say the history of Russian warfare shows that fighting often begins badly until the military can be properly organised. Writing off Russia, they say, is a poor bet.
Asked about Kadyrov's remarks on Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "This is a very emotional moment."
"The heads of regions have the right to express their point of view," Peskov told reporters. "Even at difficult moments, emotions should still be excluded from any assessments."

Let’s just keep poking the bear and see what happens. We just gave them their Pearl Harbor by blowing up the Nord Stream Pipelines. We are turning a has been country and has been petty dictator back into a world power and world leader. Way to go Joe! Not to mention all the war drum beating neocons that are leading the charge from their easy chairs.
Putin’s new strategy is brilliant. He’s overwhelming Ukrainian military with the surrender of newly conscripted from the mobilization.
For an encore, I expect him to perform goodwill gestures removing his troops from all territories. Leaving the Ukrainians panicked to fill the void.
Of course there will be numerous smoking incidents along the way.
Kadyrov, helping Putin to fight for Biblical Judeo/Christianity
“Kadyrov, helping Putin to fight for Biblical Judeo/Christianity”
Hilarious! The 🤣
Russia’s Invincible War Machine
More like Kadyrov is helping Putin defeat Western derived Satanism...but ok.
Right, speaking of Satanism, how many wives does Kadyrov have? 2-3?
At some point here soon, Vladolf will be motivated to “de-nazify” Israel to secure Putin’s motherland borders, and the fascist Kremlin/Bejing/Tehran globalist axis cheerleaders across FreeRepublic will believe every bit of it.
And of course no one else could possible be responsible for those blow ups
Oh right because both those tons are such good God fearing Christians
How many wives did Abraham have?
Its now 2022.
Thanks for the belly laugh. First, the Biden Administration promised to do it multiple times. No denials have been made. We have sensors in the Baltic Sea that have been updated in the last few years that can identify a pair of amorous sea creatures. Our government has the data that could “exonerate” us if someone other than our own people were responsible.
That is why everyone in Europe is blaming and, in some cases, thanking us for this fiasco.
There is no denying Russia has lied for 8 years about Ukraine. They lied when they said it wasn’t the Russian army invading in 2014. They lied when they shot down that airliner and killed almost 100 kids. They lied last year and said they wouldn’t fully invade. Now they lie again and launch a weaponize energy hybrid war. Personally, I’m not going to invest in Kremlin liars but you be you.
“was killed in a 2004 bomb attack in Grozny that also killed a Reuters photographer,”
Every cloud has a silver lining.
Yep!
Lol I believe there is something called the NEW testament a new and ever lasting covenant, but if you want to stick with Old Testament that is fine just don’t call yourself a Christian
