You're being extremely resistant to the idea that Wagner doing a coup-lite and achieving exactly what they set out to do could in any way be bad for Putin.

Could you perhaps enlighten us with an argument for why it is good? Because it's really hard to argue that this definitely won't have any long-term effect at all.

I'll bet that if Elon stepped in, this war would be over and he'd be the new Russian president (with a united Ukraine flying his flag.)

This guy gets it, nothing at all bad happened to Russia in the past 24 hours so nothing bad will happen in the future. Please just ignore everyone else's posts saying anything different.

Wagner has held a publicly fractured relationship with MOD for a while, and this could reconcile their differences and present a more united Russian front against Ukraine. Frightening, actually

I assume pronounciation. Russian (and I assume Belorusian and Ukrainian) vowels are pronounced differently based on where the stress in the word is, an "o" is pronounced kind of like a short "a" sound when it's not part of the stressed syllable.

e: Based on above answer I guess it's also straight up possible that Belarusian solves this by just writing it differently.

if i have understood correctly, in ukr an 'o' is always pronounced as an 'o', in russian it's as you said, no idea about belorussian, but the spelling and pronounciation of the belarus' dictator's name depends on if you're using russian or belorussian language

Rolling up to the seat of Putins power unopposed and giving his taint a little tickle isn't likely to make them close allies though.

Admittedly, this is not a great immediate outcome for Ukraine, and could end up being worse for them in the long run. Could also gently caress with existing power structures enough to reduce the Russian MoD effectiveness there. Impossible to know right now.

It is very clearly stated above. It is so strange that anyone has ruled out even the remote possibility that there could be a beneficial outcome for Russia here - that the nation comes out more united despite whatever reputational hit Putin takes. This is war driven chaos.

More united on the surface, for a while, maybe. We don't even know who this new bras is supposed to be. Installing somebody who is hated by half of the establishment isn't going to make the Russian military machine run smoother. It's going to degrade its institutions, promote patrimonialism and drag Russia towards a more crude third world existence where it will be more difficult for the state to focus on anything beyond the survival of the ruling elites, much less foreign conquests.

I don't think you have any idea of what you are trying to say dude.

Wagner forces spent the day busily downing Russian army aircraft and, if I remember correctly, bombing or shelling RU positions from behind. Please explain how this behavior can create a "more united Russian front"?
