Kadyrov: Ukrainian PM a 'coward, traitor, nerd'
2015-09-11
[RFE/RL] Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov says he had not heard about Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk having fought in Chechnya in the mid-1990s but says Yatsenyuk is a "coward and traitor" who is "incapable of fighting". Kadyrov said that although he has never met Yatsenyuk, he is a "real nerd" and he does not consider him to be a "warrior".

Kadyrov was responding to allegations made by Russian Investigative Committee head Aleksandr Bastrykin that Yatsenyuk had fought in Chechnya with a group of Ukrainians against Russian troops during the first Chechen war and had tortured and executed Russian soldiers. Yatsenyuk’s spokeswoman, Olha Lappo, reacted to the allegation by "encourag[ing] the Russian regime to undergo a psychiatric evaluation".

#3  Wiskeymike. Kadirov wasn't speaking in English. He probably used a word (my bet on dolboeb approx. dickhead) which was mistranslated as nerd

#2  Coward, traitor, nerd. Which of these words is not like the others.
Calling someone a coward rates as fighting words.
Calling someone a traitor rates as fighting words.
Calling someone a nerd? I liken that to "and your mother makes bad lunches" or something. Maybe the edginess of the epithet has been lost in translation.
I think this guy might be 'mentally challenged' fer reelz, and is distinguished by the honorific 'Chechen strongman'. His picture says much.
