And who has the European community picked to handle war crimes committed by Russians against Ukraine in an illegal war falsely waged to rid Ukraine of Nazis?

You guessed it!  Deutschland.

Update 👀 The new package from the USA will include:
Several Wagner hotlines across Russia, reached by phone on Monday, told the Financial Times they were still recruiting new fighters. “Recruitment is ongoing,” one of them said. “Nobody has put a stop to the recruitment.”..inertia? part of the deal? https://t.co/hVrBKktkhp

Tend to agree. Don't see how the MOD can trust them with weapon systems at all, so integration of Wagner forces into the army is the way to go.  

Could also have been threats against his family and that of his senior leaders. Cannot believe they were still in Russia. 

@Pig Bellmont beat me to the family story! 

yeah true.  Based on what we've been able to discern Wagner had no idea this war would go so poorly.  When Pig started going rouge with his protestations , it backfired and he didnt get the support he wanted.  By then it would have been to obvious to have the families all start packing up.  He likely didnt plan that far in advance and  how could he pick and choose what key guys to have their families leave in a clandestine way...wives talk, certain relatives are there one day and gone the next, it would have been too big an undertaking to move that many key people out w/o FSB picking up on it.  At the end of the day (i hate when people say that lol), this war went from bad to worse and unraveled so methodically on these guys that i dont think they thought it would be the quagmire its become and everyone involved is so far in, they literally dont know what to do except just keep throwing more bodies at it.  Pig was like fuck this , we're out

Wagner Family Reunion in Sharm Al Sheik. Then they split up from there, some to Dubai, some to Turkey, some to other places. 

There is a reason so many Latin American General's have their kids/wives in Miami and Houston! Well for safety, but also for mistresses.

-Prighozin responded poorly to being ghosted by Putin. He spoke more and more out of turn, and acted out. Putin decided to shut the operation down. 
 
-Prighozin’s midnight run to Moscow was more successful than he could have ever imagined, exposing deep flaws in the Russian social compact. Putin realized before Prighozin where this could lead: a huge mess in Moscow and an ugly popularity contest. 
 
-Prighozin grabbed the offered lifeline, because things were getting too big for him, too fast. 
 
-Now, he will probably be dealt with. 

Wasn’t this asshole a fucking hot dog vendor before he became a mercenary leader?  How does one decide on that career transition?

Oops

2/ In January 2023, Yevgeny Prigozhin began lobbying for criticism of Wagner to be criminalised under the same article as the existing offence of "discrediting the Russian armed forces", which has been used to suppress criticism of the war in Ukraine.https://t.co/aq37TytcqL

Truck Masters, I think it was. 

Little known fact, Douglas MacArthur started the Varsity here in Atlanta prior to WW2.  *See note 1

I think his hot dog stand is both true and euphemistic.  He got out of prison and opened a hot dog stand, however, he was really a drug dealer, and he laundered the money thru the hot dog stand.  I have to imagine that money laundering in Russia isn't terribly difficult.  As he began to branch out in his criminal activities it allowed him to start rubbing elbows with other crooks, and then he came across Putin; time for next level shit.  Here we sit.  

 

 

Note 1 - Not at all true.

He could, and yes, there are others who would love to step in. The issue is the deals are rarely with Russia, but direct with Wagner. For instance, the contract for Sudan is with the Sudanese transitional government and Wagner, with Russia's blessing. Do not know who brokered for the Libya venture. Have heard it is the UAE footing the bill. 

The failure for them was Mozambique and countering the insurgency. Both Wagner and Frontier (Erik Prince) failed. Now the Rwandan army with the blessing of the African Union and South African's are kicking some insurgent ass. 

If Prigo goes, his senior leadership will as well. Probably down to the Colonel level judging from previous purges in Russia. Rank and File just move to another PMC that Putin forms and pushes on the African Nations. 

2 hours ago, InkaUtexas said:

His senior commanders also know the secrets of the state. That could be one reason he is still alive. Kill Prigo and they go public. 

Feels like we are at a point where Wagner could just break away from Russian and truly be a mercenary outfit without the Russian military trappings. Prigozhin surely has the resources stashed away (given how easily he was able to fool the FSB for weeks/months).

Then again, if Wagner breaks off, US Army Special Forces, French Foreign Legion, etc. might accidentally lump them in with other groups and eliminate them the way the Green Berets did in Syria.

For something yes. For others, they rely on Russia, especially for recruiting. I guess they could set up a pipeline, train locals, etc, but no more ex-Russian SF. Another point is russia (MOD) sells these countries a lot of their spare parts/equipment and use MOD air assets to move it. Wagner could hire other aircraft, but the hard part is getting the equipment. 

My guess is another PMC takes over these contracts. They are lucrative and fund a lot of Oligarch hand outs from Putin.

Well, I do enjoy what the "conspiracy theory" crowd (also overlaps heavily with pro-Putin types) has to say.  From a comment on a friend's post (he's a weird friend):

See, guys...it's all a psy-op....the shooting down of Russian planes by Wagner was all fake video or something, I guess.  Wagner is going to shift to Belarus...and invade Ukraine from Belarus.  Which will work, because NATO is out of ammunition.  And Putin doesn't bluff (so, looking for the explanation of his spring to Kyiv....then withdrawal leaving behind a shitload of dead Russians and busted armor.)  We could "negotiate" and stop this (read: give Putin everything he wants, embolden and further empower him, and favor Russia).

Gave me a good chuckle this morning.

Quote

Putin thanked the nation for unity, adding that all necessary decisions to neutralise threat were taken at the very beginning, and "the mutiny would have been suppressed anyway, organisers realised their actions were criminal". Putin told Russians those who staged the "mutiny" wanted Russia to lose "and our society to drown in blood, but they miscalculated".

He went on to thank all security services "who stayed loyal to their oath" as well as pilots who died. He added that steps were taken to avoid major bloodshed, "but it took time". "I thank Wagner soldiers and commanders who did not shed blood - you can sign a contract with the Ministry of Defence, or move to Belarus," he said.

So Wagner forces who don't sign will end up in Belarus with Prigozhin

^That's my take. Wagner lives on, but in exile in Belarus. Reminds me of the French Foreign Legion coup in Algiers, They got exiled off French territory.

#67436

I think 25k wagner soliders should just file right into Belarus post-haste. That would be a genius move.

Putin needs Wagner for Africa, so he does not want to mess too much with them. But he also want to keep the Shoigu & CO calm so he sends Prigo to Belarus. At this point he is trying to make everyone happy. This is at least what I think.

They're useless to even overthrow someone like Lukashenko. Hertling labeled them as by far the worst military in Europe and it wasn't close, which I'm sure is by design.
