But if they sending to a Norwegian prison he will be living a relatively comfortable life as long as he is locked up.

Based on the narrators southern accent I guess he is from Alabama or Georgia.

This is just a peon.

Since Wagnar is notorious for bragging about war crimes, it’s not really just a claim.

Wagner openly brags about its crimes. They even released a video recently of sledge hammering a supposed traitor without any sort of trial. It’s not propaganda when a former employee says what the employers openly do.

Do you deny this? As big as you are into Russian propaganda, you should be well aware of it. They even sell merchandise with images of them sledge hammering people.

Wagner’s boss, himself a former convict, is now bumping heads with the FSB and military leaders for fame and power. The other co-leader is an out and out Neo-Nazi with Swastikas all over his body, plus a hardcore criminal himself.

I have a feeling this defector will outlive that whole organization.

That is usual untrue

You’re in Wagner till your time is up

Either contract or death

They do execute deserters no question of that

They are hardly the only ones in that respect
