    There is also the possibility that it won’t be continued depending on the outcome of what the Wagner group is trying to do. If they go for a full coup, that could mean the war is over.

      Full coup won’t end war, the assumption is that Wanger is for peace, it’s a war-fighting merc company, war benefits them.

        But Wagner boss said that the justification for the war is wrong and that Putin was tricked by the defense ministers to go into it in the first place. I highly doubt that they would continue a conflict they see no advantage to continuing. No, this won’t stop all wars but it might stop this one.

          The same boss that has said a lot of bullshit in the past several months and did nothing what they said they were going to do in public? (“Out of ammo” example)

          He’s a known liar. Don’t believe his BS.

            Apparently he’s been stockpiling for this attack, so I would say “did nothing” is inaccurate.

        Going to war against NATO-trained and -equipped troops doesn’t benefit them. There are much easier opponents in developing nations that they’d probably prefer to be fighting against.
