Ukraine just needs their country back and Russia needs to be even less relevant economical (especially for China). But this guy would probably even like to throw some nukes on Ukraine just to show strenght. |
They're all disgusting Tbf. Sure, Wagner is more disgusting than Russia but it's close enough for them to blend in.
I've 0 fear of Prigozhin using nukes. He's disgusting but not both insane and suicidal. He's a businessman first and foremost, look at their African exploits, Wagner is almost self sustaining due to Africa and Prigozhin mostly doesn't like the war because he sees it as a waste.
Anyone who uses a nuke knows there's no going back, they'll be in a bunker for the rest of their lives, the West will respond, it won't stop Ukraine either, even China will likely respond, Prigozhin will have nobody.
Hell I'd argue there's more chance of America convincing Prigozhin to dismantle their nukes in exchange for sanction relief and financial incentives than there is Prigozhin actually using them (and the former is low too).
Large part of his "rants" leading up to this were just for show, a way to rile up the base, a way to turn people against the MoD.
But yeah lets hope they kill each other.
