Moscow strikes kill ‘huge’ number of Wagner forces: Chief
(english.alarabiya.net)
Let them fight
Jesus... do people not realize that the Wagner Group are nazis and are not the good guys?
I don’t think anyone is rooting for them. More like excited for them to destroy each other. It’s like Jerry Springer but with geopolitics

You captured it perfectly.
Neither of them are good guys. Hopefully they distract each other from the war crimes in Ukraine. Take themselves out of the picture
Yeah, but every dead wagnerite and every soldier that needs to fight them is one less in Ukraine so that works for me
True but internal fighting weakens russia
It's nazis turning on nazis. I don't care who wins, I just care that they decimate each other so this invasion stops before the potential outcome of Trump ending up back in office.
Is anyone actually rooting for these guys, or for the Russian army? I haven't seen anyone calling Prigozhin a good guy.
I think they know. They’re hoping the two military groups invading Ukraine eat each other.
IIRC a large enough portion are also prisoners that get pardoned if they help with the war effort. (obviously can't run away/desert though.)
If the enemy of my enemy is killing my enemy, I'm winning.
I don't see a single comment on this post cheering on the Wagner Group. What "people" are you talking about?
The hypothetical ones he wants to be angry about to try and dilute the importance of this news
Good, let them eat each other
Last century, the Russian civil war started in *17. This year it's a little late starting in *23.
... I'm not sure who I'm supposed to be rooting for. I guess ... both works?
The innocent
Historically wagner is Putin's personal army, so I believe that this move is just to make skapegoats from Shoigu and the others from their national army.
So I believe that a loss for wagner's troops would mean Putin's arrest and the beginning of russian reconstruction, and that would be cool.
Also, the russian national forces have more legitimacy to rebuild Russia whitout Putin and also to not descend into total chaos.
What if its an elaborate hoax to bring Ukraine close for their counter offensive, then ambush them?!

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
