Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya since 2007, was diagnosed with pancreatic necrosis in 2019. It was reported last week that his health has taken a serious turn for the worse, and he is in “critical condition” with perhaps months left to live. Novaya Gazeta Evropa broke the story based on research dating to 2019, including reports of Kadyrov missing many key public appearances, including the United Russia Party Congress in December of last year. Appearing in photos with Vladimir Putin last September, the Chechen leader’s face appeared bloated. A PR video of Kadyrov pumping iron in a gym was released this week to promote an image of health. It is not very convincing; he is lifting at most 50 percent the weight, usually far less, than I, a sixty-five-year-old getting a hip replacement next month, can lift. Ramzan is not in good health.
Chechnya has been reasonably stable since Ramzan took over as president at age thirty, three years after his father Akhmat, also president, was blown up in a Victory Day celebration in May 2004. The relationship between Putin and Kadyrov, while framed as like father and son, is actually a Faustian bargain. Kadyrov receives huge subsidies from Moscow to distribute as he sees fit and free sway in controlling the notoriously troublesome republic. Putin gets a stable Chechnya, and Kadyrov has been eager to support Putin by sending more than 20,000 Chechen soldiers to the war in Ukraine and carrying out the occasional political assassination.

Here I was thinking this was an idiotic waste of time.
The commies.Marxists started taking over industry and institution over 100yrs ago as they figured out it is not easy to crash a capitalist economy to the point of revolution.
Yet my time on earth is new and novel leaving 100yrs ago feeling like 10,000yrs ago.
Anyone who thinks Chechnya forgot what the Russians did to Grozny is delusional. Muslims can do the waiting game for centuries until the time is right.
Actually the biggest supporters of open immigration are democrats looking for fresh votes and the Chamber of Commerce looking for cheap labor. Sure there are communists in the mix too, but if you paid any attention to communist intelligence operatives their main target has never been open communists who are more or less useless idiots. Their main target has always been useful idiots who can be coopted. It wasn't the American communist party that sold the bomb secrets to Stalin. It was deep cover operatives who did it while the FBI and military intelligence guys were all out looking for communists.
So, if you want to go beat your head against the wall trying to figure someing out go try to figure that one out.
PS That is why the useless American communists are useful idiots. They distract our counterintelligence agents who are off looking at every member of the American communist party. Meanwhile one of their famous coups was the Walker spy ring who sold the Soviets our naval crytopgraphic codes. The Walkers were not communists. They just wanted to make a buck, it turned out.
Russia isn’t the problem, democrats are.
I’d be more inclined to believe what Scott Ritter who visited Chechnya in late 2023 has to say about Kadyrov’s health than some random DC spook.
Communists, Marxists and their sympathizers are the problem.
Including the two giant communist nation states called Russia and China.
I am very slow.
But I finally got it!!!
Although Russia was funding the anti fracking protests that resulted in NY banning fracking within the last ten years-
Russia for some odd reason decided after 100yrs to stop meddling!
It is US energy policy vs our tax dollars in the most contrived war ever.
It’s still communist Russia and obv China meddling in our nation.
They are mutually exclusive.
Thankfully MAGA oil ends all war on earth and the need to point out the ridiculousness of Russia as some kind of victim wilol evaporate.
Why don’t you F off with all your snarling nonsense.
I won’t. You and your incompetent MIC friends who want money to fight Ruzzia and Poutine which you cannot even do have nothing to add to problem of dealing with China because y’all are technological neanderthals. But you can get in on the Ru$$ia scam. So you do and you insult anyone who calls you on it.
You repeat myself.
Listen you drunken bum, you don’t know who you’re talking to with your jacked off accusations, and you don’t know what you’re talking about.
The same bottle that fried your brain causes you to accuse people you don’t know of getting in on “the Russia scam”.
Get help and stop ranting.
What an A hole
Boy did I get your goat.
I am happy to goad any fool like yourself who cannot keep track of who our pacing adversary is and what threat he poses to our nation.
Done with you, go insult the others in your life, which I’m sure you do on a regular basis.
Nope just anti-American propagandists.
No comment until the time limit is up.

“permitting activist environmental groups, many funded by billionaires and the Chinese Communist Party, to inappropriately influence US energy policy at the Department of the Interior.”
China is the nation state to blame!!!!
Russia’s GDP is up ard 50% under Biden’s EO on energy signed 1/28/21. It is paying for this war and the spike to $140/bbl in 2013 paid for the 2014 victim Vlad’s prior invasion of Crimea, Ukraine.
Yet one is to believe Russia stopped interfering in our national affairs like magic upon convenience because after all this is the most contrived war in the history of earth.
PS despite being super slow, I get US policy dating back to at least Kissinger was to befriend Russia or China and use it against the other one, until Biden policy sees them strategically aligning. But hey commies, Marxists and their sympathizers are destroying us but it is too inconvenient to call water wet and instead go with something akin to a fairy tale.
