Jesus... do people not realize that the Wagner Group are nazis and are not the good guys?

possiblylinux127,

True but internal fighting weakens russia

Holyginz,

Neither of them are good guys. Hopefully they distract each other from the war crimes in Ukraine. Take themselves out of the picture

If the enemy of my enemy is killing my enemy, I'm winning.

IIRC a large enough portion are also prisoners that get pardoned if they help with the war effort. (obviously can't run away/desert though.)

floofloof,

Is anyone actually rooting for these guys, or for the Russian army? I haven't seen anyone calling Prigozhin a good guy.

Shell45,

I think most of the west is hoping they will hurt each other enough that Ukraine can take over...

I think it's an enemy of my enemy type of thing. Civil war in Russia may or may not be a good thing. I am not smart enough to know.

gk99,

It's nazis turning on nazis. I don't care who wins, I just care that they decimate each other so this invasion stops before the potential outcome of Trump ending up back in office.

phx,

Yeah, but every dead wagnerite and every soldier that needs to fight them is one less in Ukraine so that works for me

GlitchSir,

I don’t think anyone is rooting for them. More like excited for them to destroy each other. It’s like Jerry Springer but with geopolitics

Deestan,

It’s like Jerry Springer but with geopolitics

You captured it perfectly.

I don't see a single comment on this post cheering on the Wagner Group. What "people" are you talking about?

MercuryUprising,

The hypothetical ones he wants to be angry about to try and dilute the importance of this news

Bobo_Palermo,

What if its an elaborate hoax to bring Ukraine close for their counter offensive, then ambush them?!

Last century, the Russian civil war started in *17. This year it's a little late starting in *23.

Let them fight

Candelestine,

... I'm not sure who I'm supposed to be rooting for. I guess ... both works?

The innocent

robotPerson,

Historically wagner is Putin's personal army, so I believe that this move is just to make skapegoats from Shoigu and the others from their national army.

So I believe that a loss for wagner's troops would mean Putin's arrest and the beginning of russian reconstruction, and that would be cool.

Also, the russian national forces have more legitimacy to rebuild Russia whitout Putin and also to not descend into total chaos.

Transcendant,

Good, let them eat each other
