Notwithstanding this stub wiki page about the so-called “Wagner-Group”
This thread is not so much about WHAT the “Wagner Group” does but rather the WHO is behind the group in terms of $$$$$$$
This is just a conversation starter Breaking News hopefully does not get pulled.
Please limit posts to the WHO and post the WHAT they do stuff elsewhere ie “invading Moscow” or fighting Iranians who support Putin etc etc etc.

Link to the wiki is provided for minimal background info for those who may have never heard of “Wagner Group” before.
There is MUCH more to be written as the civil war in Moscow continues. Again this thread is NOT about WHAT they are doing but about WHO is funding the group.
The Wagner Group (Russian: Группа Вагнера, tr. Gruppa Vagnera), officially known as PMC Wagner (Russian: ЧВК «Вагнер», tr. ChVK «Vagner»; lit. ‘Wagner Private Military Company’), is a Russian paramilitary organization. It is seen as a private military company (PMC), a network of mercenaries, or a de facto private army of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s former close ally Yevgeny Prigozhin. The group operates beyond the law in Russia, where private military companies are officially forbidden. Because it operates in support of Russian interests, it receives equipment from the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) and uses MoD installations for training, the Wagner Group is said to be a de facto unit of the MoD or Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU. While the Wagner Group itself is not ideologically driven, various elements of Wagner have been linked to neo-Nazism and far-right extremism.
The enemies of the dreaded “Beethoven Group”. The worst of them is the “Bach Group”. Russians just don’t like dorky names like “The Crips” or “The Bloods”.
How do I get one of those snappy “PMC Wagner” patches now?
WHO is behind the group in terms of $$$$$$$ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
My Guess?
Joe Bidens Trillion Dollar budget and his woke drug runners at CIA.
Sounds German ,LOL
Robert Wagner needs something to do during his retirement.
Putinlandia has spent last year fetishizing the “Wagner” dirt bags as some kind of comic book super heroes. But now the Kremlin Bolsheviks and their fellow travelers will have put that all down the memory hole ASAP.
Let’s table that comment for 72 hours shall we ;)
My explanation is a lot more fun. ;-D
They are modern day hessians it would seem. The world has always had a good of humans that would fight any war for any group simply for a pay check, ob and for the joy they get from killing other humans.
The Wagner Group’s Alpenhorn Division came in direct conflict with Beethoven’s Fifth Division, while the Bach Group remained an organ of the Russian Defense department.
[Best I can do without coffee.]
I presume its leadership has been bought by the globalist/intel mafia.

Enlist?
Excellent, however!
Seems like you have a pretty good Handel on the situation ;)
Actually, the finances come from African adventures in the minerals and commodities sales, plus there are art least 2 Oligarchs that support him.
Speculation that US is behind him is just silly - worthy of tinfoil hats.
I would tend to avoid any “ analysis” of this question published now, or in recent days. As we know from Bakhmut and Prighozhin’s stream of consciousness warfront posts about lacking ammo and Wagner’s weaknesses ( I tweet therefore I am)….it was theater. And successfully incited the Ukes to avidly send in some of their better units ….to be ground up.
Especially suspect is analysis coming from any mainstream media, US or UK think tanks which imo are horribly tainted by their lemming adherence to groupthink about what the West wants to believe to support its agenda, not what has actually been happening
There are some informative backgrounders written about Wagner:
Here is one. I will post others as I dig them out.
