A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.
Oh no, I hope it's nothing minor
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.
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.
Yeah, but the way it was reported sounded like he was about to die.
That's just media doing what they always do: overhype
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?
It all ends the same, either you fall out a window or die from eating the wrong mushrooms
Correction, drinking the wrong tea.

Good.
Die.
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.
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.
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.
Mess and a half coming up, including potential secession.
Sort of like Warhammer 40K, or perhaps Weekend At Bernie’s.
I fucking love that this sentence now exists.
In Russia it's illegal to be critical.
I hear its a condition...... 😶
Why do they all seem to rock the amish look?
Most chechens are muslims. Same reason why other muslims have beards.
White people with unkempt beards?
Get fucked slimeball
Itll be interesting to see what sickness he actually has.
Thoughts and prayers
Best get the champagne ready
Is his cat okay though?
Karma hammer injury
Wasn't he a Russian puppet?
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
What about his cat?!
Ready to eat his remains
They do go early these days. Just a coincidence.
Talks like he just finished a professional eating competition and lost.
