Let them fight

[-] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Jesus... do people not realize that the Wagner Group are nazis and are not the good guys?

[-] GlitchSir@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[-] Holyginz@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Neither of them are good guys. Hopefully they distract each other from the war crimes in Ukraine. Take themselves out of the picture

[-] phx@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but every dead wagnerite and every soldier that needs to fight them is one less in Ukraine so that works for me

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

True but internal fighting weakens russia

[-] gk99@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Is anyone actually rooting for these guys, or for the Russian army? I haven't seen anyone calling Prigozhin a good guy.

[-] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I think they know. They’re hoping the two military groups invading Ukraine eat each other.

[-] ilickfrogs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] 11181514@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I don't see a single comment on this post cheering on the Wagner Group. What "people" are you talking about?

[-] MercuryUprising@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The hypothetical ones he wants to be angry about to try and dilute the importance of this news

[-] Transcendant@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Good, let them eat each other

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Last century, the Russian civil war started in *17. This year it's a little late starting in *23.

[-] Candelestine@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

... I'm not sure who I'm supposed to be rooting for. I guess ... both works?

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

The innocent

[-] robotPerson@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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?!
