Seriously though, the USA is virtually always bad.

              Holy shit I didn’t know that that Utkin piece of shit was on that plane. He was the only guy liberals could come up with when they were saying that Nazis were also in Russia too (although he had not been seen in public since 2016). Once again I must express my critical support for Putin, especially when he’s mercing Nazis. Odd that liberals haven’t praised Putin for doing this, since I thought they hated Nazis?

              Favored by Putin and given special latitude. You aren’t going to start a pmc without serious political capital, plus Putin had been commissioning them for a long time.

                Do those words mean anything? Favored? Latitude?

                And the strength of these connections is why hiring and then killing off a mercenary makes the Russian government the nature of being nazis in the same way Ukraine having actual nazi politicians in charge does?

                Why do you argue so fucking far past the point it’s obvious you’re wrong? You’re an entire branching comment tree in this post. You never give up on a single point but you’re getting bodied left and right.

                  Do you think Progodion was not important in the Kremlin? It’s really hard to sort out the web of connections and allegiances, but it seems like Progodion was pretty important, and getting more important and dangerous as Wagner gained notoriety.

                    No more answering questions with questions. Go back and justify the connections you implied with “favored” and “latitude”

                    You need to actually fucking say something substantial now. None of this mind palace bullshit. What was his role if not as a mercenary? If he was important at the Kremlin what was his position there?

                    STOP ACTING LIKE YOU KNOW THINGS. SAY WHAT YOU KNOW.
