The way libs just immediately became pro-Wagner is nuts
One of the core values of being a liberal is that you stand for absolutely nothing.
not so. they're pro-anything that impedes russia, which includes infighting. if the us had another civil war, many of us would certainly support it.
Okay, but seriously, someone needs to do something about Prigozhin. The guy has been out of control pretty much since February -- anyone remember that disrespectful stunt with the bodies of dead servicemen?
The fact that this was allow to go as far as it did is definitely an embarrassment for Russia. Prigozhin should've been removed from Wagner a long time ago.
It's already over in the western media they were saying they were at the gates of Moscow/s
Liberals devastated they can't cheer for the man with swastika tattoos now
It hasn't been a full day and this aged like milk 😂 https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2023/06/russia-civil-war-wagner-putin-coup/674517/
Aaaand that's why I don't comment on these things as they break. I shit you not, some people over here were "expecting"(as if they had the info for a half decent analysis) a civil war...
Exactly, I was pretty sure this would turn into a nothingburger, but I was like you know I'll wait a day in case I'm completely misreading the situation. Apparently, a whole bunch of US "journalists" didn't have this much restraint.
I just want to hear more about the terms of tue agreement
Yeah, I'm curious as well, I'm sure we'll find out more in the coming weeks.
W for Belarus, maybe? Have to wait and see I guess..
I'm very curious about what was "negotiated". Allegedly Prigozhin wants the war to end, right?
Yeah, I'm curious as well.
Over or just postponed?
I don't think anything is going to happen at this point. If anything, this demonstrated that pretty much everyone is behind the government.
How do you figure that? Wagner faced little to no resistance all the way up, they even had local police joining their convoy. Then, it took negotiations with Belarus to get them to stop. How does that show support for Putin's government?
To me, it sounds like Wagner didn't really want to shed Russian blood, they simply wanted guarantees of support in the form of supplies and ammunition. They apparently got what they wanted from their talks with the Belarusian President. However, that doesn't change the fact that many people outside of Moscow were willing to either stand by and let pass or stand with Wagner.
Part of me would love for this just to have all been a ploy to fuck with the west. lol.
It would be absolutely hilarious, but Prigozhin going off the deep end is a much more likely explanation.
and western media is now reporting it, so safe to say the whole thing is over https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/06/24/world/russia-ukraine-news
the linked tweet is some scary rhetoric too.
We went from "Europe will protect Ukraine" to "Ukraine will protect Europe" really quick didn't we? Are Ukrainians now aware that they're just dying to maintain an union they're not part of? Can't the all-mighty Europeans protect themselves anymore?
Sounds awfully similar to polish messianism. Costed us millions of lives too.
