Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

he's a chechen war-failson first of all
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.
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.
eric adams as the american zhang zhongchang
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?
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.
