Recently, he has deteriorated significantly, looks very swollen, and often cannot open his eyes in videos. It is believed that Kadyrov has serious kidney problems, according to Ahmed Zakayev, the former deputy prime minister of Ichkeria, who is in exile.

Sounds like someone has been taking tea with Putin.

Some people just can't hold their polonium.

[-] vettnerk@lemmy.ml 72 points 1 year ago

Oh no, I hope it's nothing minor

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 year ago

Good

Normally I don't like to piss on someone's grave, but literally everybody will be better off with certain people gone from this world.

He's one of them.

I'm skeptical. I keep reading this exact headline about Putin, Kadyrov and Lukashenko. I'm not saying it's not true this time, but there have been a lot of false reports in regards to this.

[-] vettnerk@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think the Luka news about hospitalization were true, though. I might be wrong, but IIRC, it was verified by several sources. Presumably he was in the hospital for "normal" reasons, and got better.

[-] Hubi@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, but the way it was reported sounded like he was about to die.

[-] vettnerk@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That's just media doing what they always do: overhype

[-] Kekzkrieger@feddit.de 26 points 1 year ago

Kadyrov brought a doctor from the United Arab Emirates to Chechnya because he does not trust Moscow doctors.

Wait what i thought he and Pootin were friends?

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It all ends the same, either you fall out a window or die from eating the wrong mushrooms

[-] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Correction, drinking the wrong tea.

Good.

Die.

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 22 points 1 year ago

There's a very short list of people where i was genuinely happy to hear they died. It's reserved for people like Saddam or Gaddafi. This guy is very much a candidate.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 20 points 1 year ago

Given that his grip on Chechnya is a personal one, and unlikely to smoothly transfer to a successor, and maintained by fear, it may do well for Putin to keep him on life support indefinitely, with functionaries relaying “his” orders to followers. Sort of like Warhammer 40K, or perhaps Weekend At Bernie’s.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

And you think someone’s not gonna try to opportunistically off Kadyrov if he’s kept in that state indefinitely?

I see Chechnya collapsing into a quagmire again. There’s still a lot of people living there who aren’t fans of the Russian occupation, to put it mildly.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Mess and a half coming up, including potential secession.

I fucking love that this sentence now exists.

[-] Michal@programming.dev 15 points 1 year ago

In Russia it's illegal to be critical.

[-] Alwaysfallingupyup@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I hear its a condition...... 😶

[-] Rawdogg@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Why do they all seem to rock the amish look?

[-] vettnerk@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Most chechens are muslims. Same reason why other muslims have beards.

White people with unkempt beards?

Get fucked slimeball

[-] nbafantest@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Itll be interesting to see what sickness he actually has.

Is his cat okay though?

Wasn't he a Russian puppet?

[-] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A Moscow puppet who did a good job at keeping the Chechens from rebelling again. Without him it will be interesting to see if they rise up with the Russian army preoccupied as it is

[-] SideshowBoz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

shocked pikachu face * Does Putin think he was part of the coup?

[-] JoeTheSane@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

What about his cat?!

[-] Geert@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ready to eat his remains

[-] dansity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

They do go early these days. Just a coincidence.

[-] Kofu@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Talks like he just finished a professional eating competition and lost.
