Chechnya’s leader Ramzan Kadyrov has managed to troll us all again. In a sneak peak of an interview with American TV channel HBO, he said that there were no gays in Chechnya, but if there were, Canada should take them in order to purify Chechen blood. He also said that Russia had nukes and was ready to “screw the whole world from behind”.
Every time Kadyrov does something stupid, it’s a Christmas gift to the international media. Kadyrov’s antics are reported over and over again, with each outlet trying to outdo each other with wittier and catchier headlines. This clickbait frenzy sends their readership stats through the roof. Kadyrov’s outbursts are horrific, but their sheer absurdity makes them all the more irresistible.
