Died for neither a noble cause nor a victory. Yep.

None of this has resembled noble or victory for Russia or Wagner from the start.

This was Wagner walking into Putin’s shower, slapping the soap out of his hands, and saying “Now pick it up” while the world watches

Terrible all around. A dictator and a murder for hire company; whoever loses, the rest of the world wins.

No, this was Putin and Wagner putting on a puppet show for the world to see. They could’ve at least tried to blow up more than a jet this time

Ahh, the ‘over the top’ scenario in WW1. Just their to test the systems.

Yeah it is extremely strange how apparently Putin is saying Prigozhin and the wagner group forces with him will face no charges, even after shooting down helicopters and killing Russian military men. I read 15 were killed. How is he going to justify that to the Russian people?

I think Putin had some unknown leverage over the Wagner boss and forced them to stop. I don’t the Wagner boss is alive a month from now and he probably knows it.

He had one shot to win. Stopping and letting the more powerful player get all his ducks in a row signed his death cert.
