Not a chance of that happening. Firstly Ukraine needs them and secondly the USA won't allow it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US has shown their cards and that is to root out everything Wagner, in Africa, Asia and South America. Wagner's heads will be in Hague when this is all over, for good reason. They'll be like Hitler's SS, they've carried out by far the worst atrocities together with Kadyrov's band of dogs, and will need to be put rightly to the sword. No one profits from them going up against Putin, especially not the civilians that are left in Russia. Edited May 22, 2023 by magnkarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted May 22, 2023 Moderator Share Posted May 22, 2023 This is interesting in an unrelated matter Remember the RyanAir flight that was diverted to Minsk after a fake bomb threat purely aimed at Belarus boarding the plane and arresting a dissident in 1921? That was Roman Protasevich He was only sentenced this month to 8 years imprisonment, yet he has already been pardoned That is highly unusual to say the least 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of their reports on Ukraine have normally been days late and not very accurate. BBC last night were reporting that Bakhmut had finally fallen, not a single mention of the Ukraine encirclement of the city going on on both the north and south flanks. That had been going on for days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting if it happens. It's amazing the EU/NATO can't get its shit together and destabilise countries like Belarus and support the opposition. Russia seems much better at meddling in other countries politics. Easier to do when it's a dictatorship I suppose.
