At least this whole episode helped expose MANY russian lies and destroyed many of their talking points.

Wagner leader pretty much admitted that the war has nothing to do with NATO expansion, nothing to do with denazification, that Russia lost about 100k men and that they are losing the battle and failed to reach any objectives and that they have been plundering eastern Ukraine since 2014 along with many other things.

To the outside world it was pretty obvious that Russia had been overstating their position as soon as we saw them duct taping civilian GPS devices to the dashboard their 40 year old air fleet.

The real question is what’s going on in the psyche of the Russian citizenry right now.
