Think of it as Arsenal's title challenge last season
So they flapped it then?
"On 24 February [2022] there was nothing extraordinary happening there. Now the Ministry of Defence is trying to deceive the public, deceive the president and tell a story that there was some crazy aggression by Ukraine, that - together with the whole Nato bloc - Ukraine was planning to attack us.”
So Wagner troops will sign MOD contracts - whether that is just those in Ukraine or all Wagner personnel unclear. Wagner operatives in large numbers in several African states - as an unofficial arm of Russian foreign policy. What has Prig been offered? Can't just be some flimsy personal security guarantee if he leaves the country.we'll see what the deal actually is

100’s of millions. Putin can afford it
Yup, especially when he goes to his first greasy spoon cafe and he gets polonium 210, egg and chips.And he'll probably be dead within weeks/months anyway.
Or has he been offered Belarus? Lukashenko reportedly seriously ill. Putin basically controls Belarus.And he'll probably be dead within weeks/months anyway.
Unlikely, even if the wagner forces are officially going to be state forces they still are very loyal to him so if he dies then they'll rise up againAnd he'll probably be dead within weeks/months anyway.

That's a theory among the talking heads here this morning.

he didn't promise them a coupBut are they now?
After he promised them a coup, got them on the doorstep of Moscow and then bottled it, resulting in them become part of the army, as you say, on much lower wages.
I don't think there's much loyalty anywhere in Russia.
also do you know what their contracts will be? really?
already a source of discontent with "pre-war" Russian troops as new recruits getting better money/signing bonuses/death insurance than they are. Be interesting to see how many Wagner sign up andcan be integrated into a formal military systemWagner are mercenaries, they get paid more than regular Russian army soldiers.
The regime is propped up by Russia. Internal dissent doesn't go well - 20/21 protests. Least democratic country in Europe. Whoever the next leader is it will be a Russian choice.I did read that too, but I can't see it.
Lukashenko is bad enough, no way the people of Belarus would stand for this nutter being parachuted in as president surely.
Also giving the bloke you tried to overthrow you control of a load of your nukes doesn't seem like a great idea!
I think he will end up 'falling' out of a window or having a bad car 'accident'.
But who knows!

Not saying it will be but the speculation is that it was the "carrot" used to get him to stop and leave.Yeah I get that, just don't see it being Prigozhin at all.
It'll be very interesting to see what happens though that's for sure.

Never be able to touch a door handle for the rest of his lifeAh, I see
Possibly yes. Of course nobody can trust a word Putin says so I'm sure Prigozhin will spend the rest of his days looking over his shoulder.
have you seen the agreed deal? no I take itWagner are mercenaries, they get paid more than regular Russian army soldiers.

Putin finally admits the state funded Wagner - having denied it previously. So when he talks about other countries military help in Ukraine the obvious question remains about the Wagner involvement in 8-10 countries in Africa,Latin America and Asia - propping up various undemocratic regimes.Told you Wagner troops would not be happy with Prighozin!
And Shoigu is remaining in place so didn't get what he wanted anyway.
Wagner mutiny: Prigozhin's soldiers rage while others cry conspiracy
Wagner troops fume at their leader's decision to halt his march on Moscow in furious online posts.www.bbc.co.uk
And a few posts on a social media platform are equal to the views of a much larger group of people.Told you Wagner troops would not be happy with Prighozin!

or even worse, could read yours.And a few posts on a social media platform are equal to the views of a much larger group of people.
By that weird logic you could read Grenners and Boosh's posts and say that they are representative of all online Cov fans.
