According to Dmitri from WarTranslated, around 80 Wagner troops have been killed and another 15 captured. Among the casualties is also the Russian Telegram blogger GreyZone.

Good. The more Wagner’s numbers are depleted the better.
Remember that short period when we were all rooting for Wagner?
Your NCD is leaking lol
I’m curious. When did you root for Wagner?
The thunder run
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.
Still didn’t make them heroes in any way.
Of course not but it is amusing to observe fascists shooting at each other.
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.
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.
That was what I meant
No?
The thunder run
Am I supposed to know what that means?
It’s a reference to Prighozin’s armored column advancing on Moscow.
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.
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
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
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
Fuckem.
looks at the bullet hole in the middle of the driver’s side of the windshield
I dunno how far I’d trust the bulletproof glass on those VP11s.
I don’t know if they stop bullets from a dshk… that’s 12.7mm of pure sustained fire hate and pretty ubiquitous as a technical mounted weapon for rebel groups around the globe.
And if these chaps where gunning for a large group of wagnerites I can imagine they brought “some”.
