Chechen Leader Kadyrov Says He Deserves 'Indefinite' Break, Sparking Speculation About Future
Radio Free Europe ^ | 9/3/2022 | RFE

Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Russia’s Chechen region, said on Telegram on September 3 that he deserves to take an “indefinite and long” break from his post, sparking speculation about whether he was seriously considering stepping down or seeking some favor from the Kremlin.

Kadyrov, 45, has ruled Chechnya with an iron fist since 2007 and is the longest-serving leader of a Russian region.

“I realized that I have been sitting in my position for a long time,” he said in a video statement peppered with laughs. “I think my time has come [to leave power]."

It is unclear what Kadyrov, who is one the most powerful figures in Russia, would do next if he were to step down.

Kadyrov has close relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, meeting with the Kremlin leader regularly. The two last met on August 5 in Sochi.

Kadyrov feeling the heat from his own people after losing 2 of his battalions in Severodonetsk 3 months ago and now facing the mutiny of his troops who are being HIMARed to ashes in Nova Kakhovka over the the past month. LOL! All according plan!

First Lukashenko, now Don-don is growing flaccid on the idea of a new russian empire. Wonder what dampened their excitement?

Families of the dead Kadyrovites get potatoes as compensation. Why no Ladas?

Herr Biden thanks you for your continued support for his foreign policy. Are there other Biden policies you agree with?

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.

The Chechens are preparing to revolt again, and Kadyrov sees the writing on the wall.

After his break, I’d put money on him going dija dirka Islamic Jihad, and make Chechnya great again.

The Russian army can’t fight a two front war, especially when they don’t have their Chechen storm troopers, and Putin’s little jihadi busy knows this better than anyone.

Maybe he’s not feeling well and doesn’t want to be the next one to accidently fall from a hospital window.

You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When I come through the door at the end of the day

He wants to stop the clock before it runs out.
