At least no one around me were actually hoping for Wagner to take out Putin.
If Wagner were strong enough to pop Putin, who would take the power then?
Prigozhin? Someone Prigozhin selected?
The only outcome of Wagner getting rid of Putin would be someone as “nice” as Putin ending up ruling Russia.
We would just end up with essentially the same problem but now with additional instability in a state with nuclear weapons.
But there’s probably not a correct view on what people rooted for. I based my view on my experience from the people I surrounded myself with at the time.
Either way, hoping for that anything Wagner does ending up good is naive. The only good thing Wagner has done was the Battle of Khasham.
Thank you. Then no, I didn’t support them. I just hope Putin would pull enough troops out of Ukraine to fight them to make a difference. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.
Not surprised someone here decided we all supported Nazis just because they were fighting Putin. Some people have such a black-and-white view of the world.
Remember that short period when we were all rooting for Wagner?
No one was rooting for him, lol. Most sane people were hoping that he and Putin were both taken out somehow during his failed little rebellion.
That’s rooting for him
Your NCD is leaking lol
I’m curious. When did you root for Wagner?
I mean there was that very brief period when it seemed like they might revolt against Putin.
Still didn’t make them heroes in any way. They have a dirty smelly track record that will always stain them.
Wagner didn’t march towards Moscow to give back the power to the Russian people.
Didn’t say it made them heroes, just pointing out that a time when it was likely people would be supporting them.
“Rooting for them” in general is probably overstating but “rooting for them to take out Putin” would be reasonable IMO.
Ok.

That was what I meant
Of course not but it is amusing to observe fascists shooting at each other.
The thunder run
No?
The thunder run
Am I supposed to know what that means?
It’s a reference to Prighozin’s armored column advancing on Moscow.

I read: Prigjozin’s armored clown advancing on Moscow.
It’s too damn hot here, gotta hydrate more I guess 😅
no, turns out that was exactly that

It’s more of a rooting for them to take out Putin thing.
I really doesn’t think an offhand joke about a failed mutiny would get this deep
Maybe because your “offhand joke” didn’t sound like a joke and you decided to speak for everyone.
