The cherry on top for this whole Wagner group thing is this guy used to be a hot dog salesman. Like, it really doesn’t get any better than that. This is like an episode of Arrested Development.

Hey, um, America? Russia actually does have Weapons of Mass Destruction. Shouldnt you do something?

I mean, you made up the ones in Iraq and that was 'good enough' but these ones are actually real.

Hello?

Made up WMD's are a lot less dangerous then real ones. America ain't putting boots on the ground in this war any time soon.

Hello?
To play devil's advocate, you want to invade when a country is just dabbling in WMDs and has one's that are only capable of regional destruction. Once a country has developed weapons like ICBMs there's no more confronting them directly.

So this is how it ends? Pringles just continues to run Wagner in Belarus? None of the sides can just pretend nothing happened, they'd all just look weak

Such a bizarre situation. What happens to Wagner now? They just fall under MOD willingly and return to the front? Prigozhin just retires to sip wine inBelarus?

From that Telegram channel

According to some information, in the next hour or two, Alexei Dyumin will be appointed Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation.

It was he, allegedly on behalf of Putin, who negotiated with Prigozhin and achieved his refusal to storm Moscow, when Wagner was already 150 km from the capital.

Jesus. With the seemingly longer messages allowed, you’d think more, not less, coherent statements could be made on Twitter.

Yoho tweeting out AI generated pfp GRU conspiracy accounts.

Of course Putin is actually the genius here having his caterer make a mad dash on the capital with a mercenary army.

What won't you believe is now the ultimate question.

So

Last week the American's find a 6.2 billion dollar accounting mistake

The next week a mercenary group switches sides for a few days and attacks their former employer.

Then the rebellion ends with no punishment for treason.

In December all Wagner group employees open their christmas bonuses to see a one year membership to the jam of the month club. And a Radio Shack battery of the month club card.
A lot of US citizens and cities could have used that 6.2B accounting mistake (or perhaps maybe even just a bit of it?!), but instead, it went to Ukraine!

I'm sure those cities could really use weapons and equipment. Lets pave highways with javelins.
