      I agree. The only substantial quote in the entire article seems to originate from an utterly bored intern analyst:

      The think tank said the reason for the leak was unclear although it could be an attempt to “rehabilitate Wagner’s image,” following the rebellion on June 24 in which it seized military facilities in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don and marched on Moscow. The ISW said it makes Wagner “look professional and appealing in comparison with the regular Russian military.”

      That’s it? It’s literally just a corporate charter! What a misleading headline 😩

      Newsweek is not a serious news outlet any longer. The get clicks based on their past reputation, not anything they currently contribute.

        Yeah, also they’re sourcing from ISW. Which is fine, if proper considerations are made.

        But, they were not. Really low-hanging fruit of an article imo.

        At this point I’ll be surprised if he’s still alive.

      I know it’s a funny play on “position” in the title, but “man being fucked on all fours” being an insult is a bit homophobic(/kinkphobic), so it might be best not to make that kind of joke

        Man being fucked on all fours is a insult when they don’t want people to say they were fucked on all fours.

          Yes, exactly, it’s homophobia all around

          “Cool motive, still homophobic”
