KADYROV, PUTIN AND THE MIDDLE EAST.

Absolutely one of the most interesting and dangerous leaders in the world today has popped up again in the Middle East. Yes, Kadyrov, often referred to as “The King of Chechnya”   he has been there before, but every time he shows up, it is based on some decision the Tsar is about to make or some plan that his Master has underway. He is and has been one of the Tsar’s most loyal “Thugs” for several years now. But, like any crime family, “The Kiss” can often be the last thing you remember! Having said that, what is Kadyrov up to now? A great question once again posed by the writers at Al-Monitor? Their hint that he might be ever so carefully forging his own path is an interesting theory, but a very….very…dangerous one! For those that really don’t know a great deal about Kadyrov, let me give you a down and dirty picture.

Back in 2014, I posted this story about Mr. Kadyrov visiting with the King of Jordan and how puzzling I thought that was at the time. http://coldansviewpoint.blogspot.com/search?q=Kadyrov

So, you see, his tasking by the Tsar as a messenger is not new news.  But his history with the Tsar might give you some insight as to what he might be….might be… thinking.  You see, his Father, Akhmad Kadyrov, was the President of Chechnya and was assassinated in 2004 at a Victory Day Ceremony. Akhmad Kadyrov was a well-known Rebel who fought the Russians in the Chechen wars. He, was Muslim and he hated the Russians!  As a reminder, this was a conflict where the Russians finally gained the upper hand by pounding the Chechen Capital into dust. Take the time to read about Grozny and tell me if you don’t see the logic behind what the Russians’ actions in Aleppo. How deep do the feelings go between a Father and a Son? Was his Father just in the fight for the money? Was the Tsar able to buy him to help break the back of the Rebels? Akhmad Kadyrov was seen as a trader by his Muslim Fighters. Did they kill him for it? That is how the story goes. But, here is a question I have and I know I am not the only one to ask. Did the Tsar ever really trust President Kadyrov? Did he receive the Mafia “Kiss”?  How many Hollywood movies have been made where the bad guy gets close to his Boss for the sake of revenge? Does the Tsar really “trust” the Son of Kadyrov?

Well, there is the background worthy of thinking about when the topic of, “what is the current President Kadyrov up to in the Middle East.   Could it be as the writer for NOW states? Is it possible The Chechen King is quietly, slowly, trying to build his reputation as a regional, Muslim leader? Could he be doing this without the Tsar’s blessing or perhaps adding agenda items to a trip the Tsar sanction? Betraying Putin is like reaching into the mouth of a shark to retrieve a lure. You may want it, but do you want it that bad?

Kadyrov is a young man. His post Putin time is something he should be worried about, but making a name for yourself at the risk of the Mafia Boss perceiving you are “making a move”, well, that’s a  surefire way to have a toe tag placed on your body.

As for the theory of deep-seated revenge; a revenge based on the murder of one’s Father, that’s an angle that I find interesting. Does Kadyrov blame the Muslim Rebels or does he suspect the Tsar; a man who had his most dangerous enemy killed right outside the gates of the Kremlin, in the open public? Revenge! A concept in the West that simply doesn’t hold the same value as in other parts of the world. In the US, if you Grandfather had a neighbor that he didn’t get along with or even got into a conflict with, it didn’t matter to you or your children. To be honest, in the US, most people have no idea what their ancestors did or didn’t do. But, in Kadyrov’s world, nearly the opposite holds true. Blood and the history of Bad Blood runs from generation to generation. Just ask the Serbs! What motivates Kadyrov? Does he dream of being a great Muslim leader? Does the Tsar leverage him for his ties to the Muslim community; the same community that many think assassinated his Father?
