      You’re getting downvoted, but the Wagner Group has a stake in this coup being successful and the group has ties to the Russian government.

        Yeah I dunno why people find that so hard to believe. They have a clear interest in propping up this coup.

              It is really hard to sell a liberation foreign policy when the group doing so is getting paid by strip mining the land in compensation for their services. Well, unless West is bad and always bad, but it is really hard to sell moral superiority by being mercenaries.
