IF anything reported by Fox News can be taken seriously (admittedly a big IF), Chechen leader and Putin ally Ramzan Kadyrov has discussed the Islamic State with words befitting our very own Barbecue Pit.

> “I state with full responsibility that the one who had the idea to express a threat to Russia and say the name of the president of the country Vladimir Putin, will be destroyed, where he did it,” Kadyrov seethed. “I emphasize that they finish their days under the hot sun in Syria and Iraq, and in the first instant of death meet their eternal flames of Hell. Allahu Akbar!”

That’ll show 'em!

Did Putin scratch him behind the ears after that?

Did you see the photo of him that was with that article. That guy (as seen in that photo at least) looks like one mean junkyard dude, not to be messed with. I’d be afraid to scratch him behind the ears, but Putin (who wrestles with bears, don’t you know?) would have no problem with that.
