And they thought Q was a conspiracy theory.

Well, it is.

Bookmarked. Marat Gabidullin was a commander in the Wagner group who left in 2019. He knows the organization inside and out. He started giving interviews about Wagner in May (previous thread on him - lhttps://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4072901/posts).

The Wagner group and other Russian PMCs serve the same purposes as the Waffen-SS, Gestapo and Einsatzgruppen all in one. Except they work unofficially and off the record from the regular military. When morale drops for PMCs as one of the favored and privileged units, then morale is much worse throughout the regular units.

One of the many buffoons here who take figures of speech literally.

More about this particular Rus criminal. I don’t know when he joined Wagner.... but at Twitter says recently>>>>

“Crime boss of the Orekhovskaya organized crime group Sergey Butorin, sentenced to life for the murder of 38 people, signed a contract with Wagner He “will go to Ukraine to atone for his guilt with blood” “

If he was a crime boss of an organized crime group, then he may survive for a while. Spree killers are more disorgnized psychopaths. In fact I think there is a difference between sociopaths and psychopaths, in that the first don’t do crazy things if it is not in their self interest. Sadam Hussein’s 2 sons Uday and Kussay were like that. Pop sent Kussay out to do big jobs requiring organization and cold blooded murder. Uday was a spoiled playboy type who would crash weddings and take the bride to rape, and murder the husband if he objected.
