They need to add a new category for PMC commanders. That’s at least two this morning.

I wonder if there is animosity toward Lukashenko for brokering the deal that stopped the drive toward Moscow.

Russian animosity?

I doubt it, Lukashenko did what he is told. He wouldn't have done this without first checking with Putin. Even if Putin was upset, he needs an ally in the region, he has no other friends except those to the south.

I meant Wagner fighters might be mad at Lukashenko for promising safety to Prigozhin if he stopped the rebellion.

If Wagner does disband I could see a bunch of disgruntled ones staying behind and increasing the sabotage across Russia. They have already seen how Russia has treated parts of Wagner after the coup, I doubt they will trust very much.

Yeah i would think any Wagner mercs not headed for Africa, Asia or South America will be extremely hostile towards Putins forces and assets....Putin is the assassin who just got all the paychecks to their families cancelled since its reported that the pay structure set up by Wagner leadership will no longer function. Desperate people do desperate things...and paybacks a beitch too. By all accounts i have read, the Wagner guys were fiercely loyal to Piroghzin...at least all the ones who werent taken from prisons against their will and forced into service.

Hearing that there is some chatter coming from some in Ukraine that this was a parachute that Putin offered Prig. Prig is alive and assuming a new identity. Will ride of into the sunset.

I don't believe it personally, where could be go? He's a wanted man and the west can get to him in all but a handful of developed nations.

Bummer for the other eight hapless souls aboard that were then murdered for nothing more than cover. I guess given that Prig and Putin are thugs to whom life means nothing, then the math actually checks out.

I'm skeptical, Putin doesn't forgive betrayal - said so himself.

Seen what looks to be an amphibious attack took place in Crimea but can't find nothing really about it or how big (maybe a small force if it even happen). Here's only thing I found on it and states it is ongoing.

Don't know that this adds much, but it fleshes it out anyway. When an event involving Ukraine and Russia gets reported, I generally wait until it shows up in The Drive to think there's really something to it. They don't seem to weave US politics into what they write - and that's a nice change.

My brother had been a pilot all his AF career until he was embedded with an Army unit in Korea for a year. He wrote one day and told me I was an idiot for having joined the Army when I decided I needed a break from college. Seems like on that particular episode the unit commander decided in the middle of a Korean winter they needed to spend some time living in the field ... and he was included.

I skim through the comments - some are pretty funny. Sometimes you get the impression that a couple of guys know what they are talking about, but overall the comments are a lot like the back and forth shots that go with sports articles ... and some of those are political. The writers keep it pretty straight, and I do like that.
