I must admit to not knowing much about this Wagner group. What's their story? Obviously, I know plenty about Putin but, what's the deal with this Prigozhin dude? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

Correct. It is actually the hub for Russian activity in southern Ukraine and Crimea. Wagner will get plenty of ammo/supplies out of that place.

I don’t know much either, but hard to believe a billionaire that leads a mercenary army is good. His current actions may be good for Ukraine and the rest of the world or it could be the wrong kind of regime change that leads to further instability in the region.

I am 100% for sure that the MSM media tell us EVERYTHING we need to know.

Seems like Prigozhinwas was complaining about a lack of artillery, having a shite load of Manpads (air defense) and javelins (anti-tank) doesn't help you when you need artillery for counter battery fire and for destroying troop concentrations.

Also capture javelins probably didn't come from the Russian Ministry of defense so don't indicate they were being supplied much less with what they needed.

Michael Weiss's comment is rather irrelevant IMHO.

Just because the HQ of the district is there it doesn't mean fuel and ammo is stored in Rostov on Don. I also doubt Wagner has much of a supply arm, it seems it is all tooth dependent on logistical support from other units.

Looks like the CIA successfully turned the mercenary. Highest bidder normally wins with folks like that

Trump declining to back Erik Prince in Afghanistan is looking better and better.

TBF, that was something that only the radical wing of the GOPe thought was a great idea.

You and your lame fall back as usual.
I have news for you. The updates are coming from news sources all over and are in real time. The boogeyman MSM has no time to set the narrative as you think.

You give far too much credit to the CIA and far too little credit to the shite show Russia has made of this SMO.

Right.

A lifetime mercenary decides to roll the dice with his company and his own life because of Russian incompetence. No other possibilities. He has decided to turn his back on monetary gain because Putin is such a bad guy.

I would be disappointed in the CIA if they had not been working on this from the start. They are really good at overthrowing governments

Are you seriously suggesting that less than $100 million spent on Ukraine is largely responsible for inflation in the US economy that has an annual GDP of 23 trillion dollars?

Maybe Wagner is stalling hoping Putin dies of his terminal dick Cancer western media told he had two years ago.

CIA is accustomed to choosing bad guys to fight their criminal enterprise.

Speculation that that is why he’s been whining about no ammo. He’s been stockpiling it, and is also using capture Ukrainian weapons.
