Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has accused Russian lawmakers from neighboring regions of attempting to commission his assassination, and threatened them with a “blood feud” unless they prove otherwise, state news agency TASS reported.

TASS cited Chechen-language comments by Kadyrov, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, to a meeting of Chechen security officials. Video of the meeting was published on Kadyrov’s personal Telegram channel on Wednesday.

The news agency translated Kadyrov’s comments as: “There are witnesses, there are people from whom they tried to commission, whom they asked how much they would take for the order.”

    On one hand: How the hell do you prove that you’re NOT planning to assassinate someone?

    On the other hand: Do it Kadyrov. Start a military conflict with the Russian nobility. I dare you. I double dog dare you, you prada-wearing, back-shooting, boot-licking little shit.

      For all his faults, Prigozhin had a better grasp on reality, and more brains, then Kadyrov has ever possessed. And Colonel General Caterer was an idiot.

      The point is, as funny as the Hot Dog Mutiny was, a TikTok Insurrection would both be significantly shorter lived, and exponentially more hilarious.

    Some says that he killed his father to prove his loyalty to Putin. If I were him I would start looking at my crazy mma loving son first.
