Russia’s Wagner mercenary group founder, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has said the Kremlin’s justifications for invading Ukraine were based on lies.

    This is crazy. Perhaps a moment of self reflection? I am very interested to see where this goes. Somethings gotta give. I’d feel, in my bones, that I was dying for nothing, if I was a Russian soldier. Then I look around and realize everyone feels the same and we have guns and military equipment. Maybe it’ll spark something larger.

        Sorry if thats how it came across.

        I realize this guy is just another warlord, trying to save his own ass, but the people around him and below him are just people who don’t want to die, but need some kind of reassurance, even if its based on a bad person doing self serving things, sometimes that’s all it takes in a situation that sucks, to tip a domino. One potential opening.

        I’m not really sure how to unromanticize life tbh. We’re talking about based human nature here. Whether you like to admit it or not, is largely dictated by emotions. It could go any number of ways.

        I am not there.
