More like KGB n throw

Right. So why do people think theyre so weak? Our leaders dont think that.

Russia should leave other countries, period.

The US and EU are massive buyers of Chinese goods and services. China won’t do anything to destroy their own economy since that would tank their entire country. Russia cannot make up for the net loss that China’s economy would be hit and without that massive economy, there would be massive unrest. China’s been shrewd about playing the long game for its entire existence and there isn’t anything that would screw them over as much as a direct confrontation with the West.

Treason is the act of working against your country's government. The government cannot commit treason against mercenaries.

“Everyone nods toward the top and says: ‘You know, Yevgeny Viktorovich, you have a difficult relationship over there. You need to apologize and confess your faults, then your fighters will receive ammunition.’

I'm surprised the Wagner Boss doesn't just say "Well, OK, I guess we'll leave the battlefield then. I mean, without ammo or support, why are we here?" then GTFO.

No, it isn’t. But as for those that think it is, they’re very easily swayed into compromising their own safety to appease Putin.

That was before the era of high tech weaponry. A bunch of angry civilians with .50cals aren't going to do anything to a modern autonomous tank or bombing drone.

I keep saying it if the attack is badly enough to disrupt the way we live, and affect NATO members economies it is enough to invoke NATO article 5.

In Moldova, there's the possibility they are invited in by the Moldovan government, removing the risk of losing western support. And if successful, it would make for a more stable Moldova, and a western border that doesn't require as much of a military presence from Ukraine any longer.

Did they sabotage their own pipe before?

What amazing ventriloquism by Russia, it's almost like Belarus is really its own state but I've seen this illusion before

Due to fly out of a high rise window soon...

At least it will be over something substantial for a change

In their defense, predicting unforced errors is impossible. They looked at the available info and rightly presumed a competent leader would have captured Bakhmut. Alas, Wagner lacks such competence.
