Scholz “hit the muzzle” – Putin friend Kadyrov wants to invade East Germany Baerbock bolsters NATO candidates Finland and Sweden

Ramzan Kadyrov is considered a close ally of Vladimir Putin. As ruler of the Russian Republic of Chechnya, he stands side by side with Russia.

Now he is sending a clear threat to Germany and to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

If Kadyrov had his way, the Russian army would invade East Germany. “We should go back there, it’s our territory,” he said in an interview broadcast Monday by Rossiya-1, Russia’s flagship television channel.

Kadyrov continues that the Germans, as traitors, deserve punishment so that they understand their place. The withdrawal of Soviet troops from what is now East Germany in the 1990s was a mistaken decision by the leadership at the time. And that needs to change as far as he is concerned. Now you have to slowly get back in there “so that we can check them at any time,” says Kadyrov.

Kadyrov shoots against Scholz: ‘panda soft’

In the propaganda interview, Putin’s accomplice also ranted against German Chancellor Scholz. He visited the Russian president and said he was “soft as a panda bear”. Now he speaks from the lectern with hate speech about Russia. Olaf Scholz should be “punched in the face,” says Kadyrov.

But that’s not all. Kadyrov causes a stir with another interview.

Kadyrov wants to continue to Poland

An adviser to the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, Anton Gerashchenko, shares a clip from another propaganda video made by Kadyrov. In it, the politician is absolutely convinced that Russia will take over the Ukrainian cities of Odessa, Kharkiv and Kiev. “We are showing results that the West, the NATO countries and the EU cannot even dream of,” Kadyrov told his confidants. He promises again: “We will break through and conquer Poland.”

Putin, on the other hand, is now putting his barking bloodhound Kadyrov on a tighter leash.

Apparently, the Russian president has now prepared a gossip for the sometimes overly loud Chechens: he appoints General Alexander Lapin as head of the Russian ground forces. He had in the past dismissed Kadyrov as a “failure”.

Commentators believe the move is not so much a promotion of Lapin as an attempt to oust agitators like Kadyrov.
