News - Will Putin prove that he is not a 'paper tiger'?

At the Valdai Discussion Club, Vladimir Putin responded to Donald Trump, who had called Russia a 'paper tiger' and challenged him: 'Let them try to fight the paper tiger'. On the same day, various sources circulated a 'message' addressed by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov to Russian State Duma deputy, a Hero of Russia, Colonel-General Shamanov. Kadyrov was angered by Shamanov's speech at the Duma session, when he complained that Chechnya's authorities first expelled Russians from Cossack settlements, and then, through renaming, erased history. Kadyrov reminded that during the two Chechen wars Shamanov had been the commander of the troops and had shown the most inhumane attitude toward peaceful civilians. He called the Russian Hero General a 'scoundrel' who, instead of being in prison for the crimes committed, had protected himself with parliamentary immunity. He threatened to sue Shamanov in Chechnya for war crimes. Kadyrov's message is political, and its addressee is by no means Shamanov. The Chechen leader clearly wrote that the real owner of Chechen land is the Chechen people, and he is doing everything 'in their name and for their good'. He urged General Shamanov to gather like-minded people and go to the front line of the 'special military operation'. In the Chechen War, Russia's president and supreme commander-in-chief was Vladimir Putin; Shamanov earned the title of Hero of Russia for successfully carrying out his orders. Calling Shamanov a 'military criminal' and confidently stating that 'the court will prove it' means the same for Vladimir Putin. Will Putin prove that he himself is not a 'paper tiger' and 'bring Kadyrov to order'? Probably not. And perhaps is the U.S. president taking Putin's alleged weakness into account when calling Russia a 'paper tiger'? Noah's Ark - Law Read
