    What any reasonable person would do is suggest an alternative likelihood. What will happen to the 5,000+ Wagner troops that the MoD won’t allow to sign contracts?

      If the 5,000 troops aren’t going to be allowed to sign contracts with the MoD then they obviously become civilians. One has to be living in an alternate reality to think that they’re just going to follow Prigozhin around like some praetorian guard. The fact that you even consider this to be a likely scenario shows that you have absolutely no understanding of the situation in Russia.

        If the 5,000 troops aren’t going to be allowed to sign contracts with the MoD then they obviously become civilians.

        Most of these troops were part of the Storm-Z forces, people who were taken out of prison and granted freedom in exchange for service.

        It’s about as likely as Prigozhin making it safely to Belarus. One way or another, many of Prigozhin’s troops are probably going to follow him.

            The other technique you always resort to is attacking the credibility of the person you’re arguing with, rather than arguing any specific point. This suggests you know your reasoning is weak.

              Just to recap, you’ve made a bunch of speculation that isn’t grounded in any actual facts. Then when you got called out on doing that you started spewing more nonsense. Now you’re claiming that it’s actually my reasoning that’s weak. What an utter 🤡 you are.

                You’re completely forgetting the part where you said all of Wagner would be integrated into the Russian military, in contradiction with official statements.

                  The organization will be integrated, and there will be no more wagner as an independent PMC. It’s absolutely hilarious you’re still here, it’s like you just need to keep talking because deep down you realize how wrong you are and you think that if you just keep adding more comments you’ll dig yourself out in some way. 😂

                    What’s hilarious is that you deflect and throw shade rather than admitting your mistake.

                    Wagner is in fact now signing contracts with the MoD, so yes it is directly under the control of the MoD going forward.

                    Wagner is not signing contracts, some troops from within Wagner are being given the opportunity to sign contracts. Not all of these will sign.

                    It’s ok to admit you didn’t explain things properly, you know. Rather than digging further and hoping you’ll either bury others in your piles or get deep enough that no one will bother to look for you anymore.
