Lol did Prigo really Musky his way into being a founder retroactively

Looking at Wagner's history Prigo probably took over when they became a whole state sanctioned operation and not just small band of mercs in Syria.

Obviously he's somehow still tolerated. But I really don't get the play here. Openly calling the leadership (not just some local nobodies like is the custom) incompetent and treasonous to, what? Own the non-existing opposition?

A zero risk play to try to see if Ukraine is gullible enough to take him at his offers or if disgruntled/disloyal military officers actually hit him up agreeing with his statements?

He also got an Aunt Himars visit year ago when the Wagner were squatting at some high school in Ukraine. He didn't die, but didn't he get shrapnel treatment as a take-home souvenir?

I remember that Wagner commandpost getting hit but i don't remember hearing anything solid about him being there & couldn't find anything saying he was from a quick search

from what i can see he's commanding stuff in bakhmut atm, although probably not IN bakhmut, he seems to be one of the few wagner people who's good at staying alive, he was in Syria heading up that big wipe against the US outpost too, afaik.
rumor is they did that knowing how it'd go down because they didn't wanna pay those guys and were hoping to maybe kill some troops w/ plausible deniability and gently caress with public opinion in the US
they really throw away life like it's absolutely nothing at all in that group

Aside from the "America bad" answers some already gave, some people mistakenly associate modern Russia with the USSR and will rabidly defend Russia as a result reflexively due to a love of the USSR.

This is also 100% baffling to those of us who actually grew up in the USSR's sphere of influence, because for some reason you won't find too many people with positive things to say about the USSR around those parts.

So I think it would be more accurate to say they mistakenly associate Russia with the entirely false image the USSR projected of itself as a beacon of brotherhood, co-operation and friendship, while also doing some real nazi level poo poo everywhere it could get away with it.

Aren't the Ukrainian troops trying to encircle the city ruins? So that Russia gets to use Bakhmut to re-enact both battle of Verdun, and Stalingrad at the same place.

Twitter has conflicting posts all over to what is happening in Bakhmut. I will err on the side of caution with Russian successes since there have been so many posts over the months claiming that the city is about to fall. Too much misinformation from both sides.

Twitter has conflicting posts all over to what is happening in Bakhmut. I will err on the side of caution with Russian successes since there have been so many posts over the months claiming that the city is about to fall. Too much misinformation from both sides.

Every reliable report had Ukraine nominally holding onto barely a couple of streets while Russians carpeted the remains with artillery and incendiary shells making it near impossible to safely operate in the area.

It's highly believeable now that Russians are losing ground on the flanks, Ukraine finally lets the rubble that used to be Bakhmut be nominally held by Russia for a bit. If the flanks don't hold (increasingly looking likely) then any Russians in Bakhmut would be surrounded and Ukraine will be able to take the whole lot back anyway, making even more the whole meat grinder a shocking waste of man and materials for Russia for absolutly nothing

They certainly haven't let up in the Bakhmut direction at any rate. The attacks have slowed down near Lyman probably because some of the manpower there was sent to reinforce Bakhmut or its flanks.
