So some hite igger worked his way up from hot dog sales man to commanding a small army. Like the leader of all mercenary armies he is either incompetent and will fail his employer or he is competent and will threaten his employer.
Dude was competent enough to threaten his employer. Moved an armored column 200 km in 12 hours to the outskirts of Moscow. Cue comparisons to Hitler. Put his tanks on flatbed trucks, seems to have brought along enough diesel fuel to run them, and brought mobile surface to air missile shit so he couldn’t be fucked with. Rolled up on Putin‘s doorstep and then forced a deal. Apparently he’s turned around and is headed back home saying “I don’t wanna shed any russian blood.“
Negotiations happen differently in Russia. In the United States we had a history of dueling and even seated senators and congressmen would engage in such a thing; the Russian tradition has carried through in a kind of mafioso sort of way. If that makes any sense.
