The War For Kadyrov's Inheritance Has Begun

Putin doesn't have the resources to stop it.

Ramzan Kadyrov is still alive, and the clan war for his inheritance has already begun. I said in a recent broadcast that Ramzan's attempt to make Adam his heir would not please many in the Chechen top brass, and his chances of gaining power - or simply surviving in this situation - are extremely doubtful.

It all happened even faster than I thought. Most likely, the accident that nearly killed Adam was set up by those who want to prevent him from inheriting his father's "throne" - other pretenders to power.

War within Kadyrov's top brass is becoming inevitable. Russia now has no power resources (they are thrown against Ukraine) to stop it. An uprising and a second front in Chechnya could turn into a disaster for Putin's regime.
