The Saddam Hussein of the Caucasus

Aram Shabanian stops by this week to talk to us about the strong men of the Caucasus.


We start with a deep dive into what’s going on in Armenia and Azerbaijan right now with a focus on the 1990s. Shabanian calls Azerbaijan’s President, Ilham Aliyevl, the “Saddam Hussein of the Caucasus” and comes to grip with the realpolitik of the conflict.


Then we turn our attention to Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov and discuss rumors of his failing health, mixed martial arts, and how a brutal warlord became an internet meme.


Angry Planet has a Substack! Join to get weekly insights into our angry planet and hear more conversations about a world in conflict.
