What a time to be alive

Kadyrov claimed Thursday that the vehicle, which he said had been outfitted with a machine gun and was “performing well in combat,” had been shut down, adding Friday that he had sent two additional Tesla Cybertrucks to the frontline.

Chechen warlord

Look, not a Kadyrov fan by any stretch of the imagination, but look at how this headline is dripping with American exceptionalism. I would love to see US presidents referred to as "warlords" from now on.

I'll settle for city mayors- the mayor of NY has a bigger army than Kadyrov

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He has bigger army than like 3/4th of countries in the world. And better armed too.

Russia formally gets everything east of the Dnieper in the eventual ceasefire negotiation and Ukraine gets Chechnya as an exclave because Kadyrov posted cringe

Except when a Tesla explodes it's just because they do that sometimes

Plausible deniability.

Imagine paying 80k for a car that doesnt work lol

Maybe it's a silver lining if it doesn't work. If it does work - the enemy probably can easily hack something and figure out where he are. I hope the yahoo livestreams himself in battle.

"After we get over that hill we'll get to the battlefiel—" and that's it for the Cybertechnical and warlord too.

Edit

Maybe we should call it the Cybernical?

chechen warlord

he's a chechen war-failson first of all

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

It's a funny way to describe him, because yeah he definitely has warlord vibes and he's probably a terrible person, but he is the elected prime minister of the Chechen republic and a colonel-general in the Russian military. Like he's got state-legitimacy, he's not Joseph Kony.

That said referring to the US presidents and various Governors as Warlords would be pretty cool and funny so I'll allow it.

Texan warlord Greg Abbott

Fits him pretty well I think

Potential conflict between Supreme Warlord Biden and Texan Warlord Abbott over the wall of death at the Southern border.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

wait what qualifies someone to be called a warlord? shouldn't every US president be called that? actually basically every "Western" leader in pretty much all of history should right?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Basically legitimacy and having army. Oxford definition is "a military commander, especially an aggressive regional commander with individual autonomy." Kadyrov technically would be a warlord from the Russian point of view, but he's the legal head of federated state and his army is legal too and do legal things, he also have relevant and real rank in RF forces.

Can't even spraypaint camo on it because it'll rust the body off so your giant chrome target just glitters in the sun.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

I can't think of anything better then riding a huge incendiary device into battle

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

there's no way this shit performs well in combat. it falls apart if you close the door too hard

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago
