      I don’t think anyone is rooting for them. More like excited for them to destroy each other. It’s like Jerry Springer but with geopolitics

      Is anyone actually rooting for these guys, or for the Russian army? I haven’t seen anyone calling Prigozhin a good guy.

        I think most of the west is hoping they will hurt each other enough that Ukraine can take over…

      It’s nazis turning on nazis. I don’t care who wins, I just care that they decimate each other so this invasion stops before the potential outcome of Trump ending up back in office.

      Yeah, but every dead wagnerite and every soldier that needs to fight them is one less in Ukraine so that works for me

      Neither of them are good guys. Hopefully they distract each other from the war crimes in Ukraine. Take themselves out of the picture

      IIRC a large enough portion are also prisoners that get pardoned if they help with the war effort. (obviously can’t run away/desert though.)

      I think it’s an enemy of my enemy type of thing. Civil war in Russia may or may not be a good thing. I am not smart enough to know.

      I don’t see a single comment on this post cheering on the Wagner Group. What “people” are you talking about?
