Thoughts on the Wagner Group muntiny and rebellion in Russia?

Question

The Wagner Group is heading towards Moscow at the moment to possibly overthrow Putin

BCA6010 · Accepted Answer

This never had anything to do with "overthrowing Putin." His target was General Shoygu and his circle. This story has been a colossal failure (or intentional fake news) by western media.

Vlad and Yevgeny have been close friends since they were young. If this was about him, then why did FSB troops (think militarized FBI equivalent) clear the way and escort him in? And why did most of the Wagner mercs just get inducted into the regular army almost immediately afterwards? Something happened internally to expose some people, and this (engineered) incident will be used as an excuse to get rid of those people. Speaking from experience, there is no way you can just uproot 25,000 troops including tanks and helicopters and move them 200 miles in one day on a whim.

This was very strange. If their problem is with Putin, why is the Belorussian president the one who solves the problem? Something tells me that this is not over.

Lmao, as if Wagner would attack Putin. They're standing down in Belarus, which means increased crime for Belarus. 🤷🏾

Wagner is between a rock and hard place. They do compromise of professional soldiers and operators, but nearly the majority of them are Russian prisoners. Whether you believe they’re an official part of Russia’s MoD, or not, they have serious complaints about arms and ammunition. PMCs (Mercenary groups) are illegal in Russia, but Russia tries to say they are a foreign company and have the right to work (but for some reason are headquartered in Russia.) Since they act in Russia’s interests, the Russian MoD supplies the warfighting equipment and ammo to Wagner. So rebellion ain't an option, they’ll be biting the hand that feeds them.

war will drive ya nuts... they are giving their lives and the lives of other people.

surprised they haven't hopped on a plane to south america, come up the souther border like everyone else, and then attack the white house after being bused there courtesy of the US tax payers. Just grab some equipment at a local armory, maybe some MAGA hats.

RasmusAiken · Answer

Wagner mercenaries were fighting at the front without adequate supplies promised by Russia. Wagner's move was more of a protest saying "If you won't give us the equipment we need we're leaving the Ukranian front." I don't believe they ever intended to overthrow Putin or take on Russian forces.

AviatorTom · Answer

Wagner was a militia paid by Russia to take over Ukraine. They have learned that is a useless endeavor and have turned against Russia. If will be interesting to see if Russian military joins them. If they do, this could be the start of another Russian Revolution.

Unit1 · Answer

They chickened out. Wusses. Cheap show.

But then again, if not for that, it'd be a coup. It would most likely replace one cut throat dictator with another oligarch, who sacks in the money for themselves at the people's expenses.

I wonder when these nations can save themselves. Something tells me they won't. Not in my lifetime at least.

i take everything about this war that i see in the media with a HUGE grain of salt. in other words: by default i believe nothing they are reporting, cause like it or not: it's all western propaganda. not saying that eastern propaganda would be better. but it's all just that. propaganda.

Curmudgeon · Answer

I suspect the story was a hoax, as they "Stood down" so quickly. Trying to filter out the truth from the nonsense on either side of this is a challenge.

Adam1978 · Answer

Any chaos is welcome, but he doesn't have a chance. And if he did he would be as bad as putler for the Russian people. You should never have someone taking power by force. Or staying in power with force.

PurpleiPad · Answer

Wow, I never heard about this. Are they Russians?  Biden could send in a team to take out Putin in a heartbeat, but the war is fake and just about money.

DermalPunch · Answer

Well, they were pissed that they were being accused of being mutinkus so they threatened to launch a mutiny in response. Now they're not. Whatever. The arms dealers are happy is what I know.

Drewtate · Answer

They are mercenaries that have grown to powerful and have become to important to the Russian war effort, a situation like that is dangerous. The leaders of the group are as good as dead.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Welp the one great thing a dictator does before a revolution is piss off his own fascist forces.

Indication of things to come...

Izzy_3991 · Answer

Are they? I wonder if someone paid them to stand down?  My sister has been following the story.

exitseven · Answer

I think it really gives Putin something to think about. Giving a rogue group of mercenaries that kind of hardware was not a good idea.

AngryCarl2 · Answer

I have no idea what's happening out there, and both sides will have their own story. Hopefully this indicates an end to Russia's ambitions in Ukraine. Watch this space...

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Thanks for sharing with us, not to sure of the Wagner Group.

Meropatrick · Answer

It shows how difficult and draining this war is and how much deception it involves. War is ugly but inevitable

Alex8736 · Answer

Distraction by the democrats to cover up for the Biden crime family and Burisma. If they wanted to get put putin he would have been dead a long time ago

Anonymous · Answer

Assuming any of it is even true; what's to think about? They are mercenaries; mercenaries are dicks.

DarkWinterNights · Answer

Its such a heavily propagandized war- who knows what’s actually happening.

He is dead. If not dead, he will be in a prison cell forever

That would be great if they took him out of office but who knows if they would be better unless they want peace and trade with everyone again

Better them than us we have enough problems with dirty ass cops throughout our country.

Anonymous · Answer

What if the Wagners just posed as anti Putin mercenaries so they could get funding like Ukraine did? And then, once they get the funding, the march to Moscow just “stopped”?

OddBeMe · Answer

Doubt they’re gonna over throw Putin, but it’s still a bad sign for the dictator.

driven159 · Answer

It didn't end in much of a rebellion but might be the start of something.

It was nothing but a ruse to motivate the troops. That being said, I bet Pukin has that leader killed.
