    Absolutely insane this actually seems to be happening. Here’s hoping Wagner and the regular forces basically annihilate each other to the point Russia can’t keep up their occupation.

    Hell, if we’re dreaming, maybe in the chaos and infighting the Russian system itself gets weakened, with the openly fascist elements on Wagner’s side also destroyed, and a non-fascist successor system could take its place. Not probable, but there is always hoping.
