Also an update on the situation in Bakhmut:

As always, this channel has annoying clickbait thumbnails, but the information in the video is reasonably presented.

Why would FSB want to kill Kadyrov, though. He is an important state asset. Anyway, I'm afraid the sources reporting the supposed poisoning are dubious at best

A few weeks ago he was talking about wanting to form his own PMC, so I guess it's conceivable Moscow thought he was getting too big for his britches? But this again seems like it would more likely point to a rival rather than his boss (assuming the whole thing isn't made up.)

Just an aside, some people might find NAFO cringe. Sure sure. But NAFO came about to troll russian disinformation on twitter for example I'm fairly sure and not to make light of war.

True.
Nafo-memeing is all about countertrolling pro-russian trolls.

Please release the doges of war.

Was kadyrov causing enough trouble to get the ole spicy tea?

It seemed like he was just a mostly harmless (for Putin) dumbass that was keeping Chechnya in line

The was speculation he and Prigozhin were considering an attempt to oust Shoigu, but I don't think it's been substantiated. Kadyrov has nothing to gain from rocking the boat, he's already a total ruler of his kingdom, and the beneficiary of a very generous Muscovite tribute.

I mean he already has a personal PMC in all but name, in the form of Chechen forces, and it's even funded by Russian budget. Yes, if he has enemies trying to kill him, I think it's safe to say they aren't working for Putin.

The statement he made specifically talks about wanting to compete with Wagner, while in the same breath effusively praising Wagner's results. Which, from a :tinfoil: perspective, could be interpreted as him being aware he was talking about a dangerous subject and trying to tread carefully.

All just rampant speculation though, nothing to do now except wait and see.

I personally find Russia, under the leadership of Vladimir Putin, attacking Ukraine for an imperialistic land grab with the sole excuse of "it used to be ruled by a version of my home country I am currently LARPing" very alarming, from a viewpoint of a militarily non-aligned neighboring country, which also used to be a part of the Russian Empire some 105 years ago.

Yeah, similar offences here means „setting random poo poo on fire”, not “anti-Ukrainian terrorism”. Dude was caught sitting on a bus stop, watching the fire. He was known locally to set random piles of garbage and abandoned buildings on fire before.

Yeah, I can't recall any example in the recent past where speculations about someone's death or serious illness was later confirmed. This kind of news appears every time a dictator disappears for a few weeks after having plastic surgery or something.

I can't find it right now but there is longer video than this, but it doesn't really show much more - anyway, some partisans landed a drone on the radome of an A-50 (Russian AWACS) parked in Belarus and then blew up its satcom antenna pod.

NATO has had its share of base security embarrassments too but jeez. Apparently Russia only has 9 8 of these.
