Just a little information as the Wagner group moves into #Russia #RU they are war criminals: https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/18662/wagner-group-war-crimes
@CanisPundit Yes they are Mercenaries and not exclusively Russian.
@VelvetDuchess I understand feeling some elation for the relief Ukrainians may get and seeing Putin challenged/humiliated, then there’s keeping this in perspective.
@b4cks4w @Idissent @CanisPundit Well aware of Wagner’s history. If it gets rid of Putin, Shoigu, Gerasimov and Prigozhin I’ll take it as a win.
@VelvetDuchess @b4cks4w @CanisPundit
If they would just do the world a favor and enter into a murder/suicide pact that would be ideal
@Idissent @VelvetDuchess indeed. This is not a revolution to progress human rights, it’s retribution and potential power grab replacing one titular war criminal with another.
@CanisPundit @VelvetDuchess
I'm seriously scared right now. It could end up worse than it already is and that's saying a lot
@Idissent @CanisPundit Yes. I’m pretty sure the CIA and Defense Intelligence are working overtime right now.
You don’t think we have ops embedded in Wagner?
@VelvetDuchess @CanisPundit
I honestly wouldn't have any idea since I've only even been aware of them for a short time. Us being us, of course we do
@Idissent @CanisPundit They’ve been around a long time.
@VelvetDuchess @CanisPundit
I was happily uninformed for most of my adult life
@Idissent you have much informed cynicism ahead of you!
@VelvetDuchess
@VelvetDuchess I really don’t know. It is an interesting thought. What a horrible assignment it would be. Your question throws me into speculation mode I try to avoid. Could there be US back channel encouragement? The CIA/US has a certain history that makes it plausible. But is it probable? Dunno’. @Idissent
@CanisPundit @VelvetDuchess
Perspective being these are mercenaries and war criminals
