    I didn’t present anything as fact, you’re the one distorting things here. I simply pointed out that many thousands of Wagner troops won’t be a part of the Russian military anymore, and suggested that the most likely thing they will do is continue following their current leader.

    It seems like a recurring tactic of yours is to deflect people to other things, without actually arguing a single specific point yourself.

      There is nothing likely about that statement. The fact that you believe an absurdity does not make it likely. The facts don’t support your assertions. And I don’t need to keep justifying myself to you here. The only recurring tactic here is you confidently asserting nonsensical things and then acting like they’re obviously true.

        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.

            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.
