Obama let thousands out and they didn’t even have to fight.

Did any of them survive, or are these inconsequential posthumous pardons?

I recall that Prigozhin initially recruited 40,000 criminals (murderers and rapists).
So, in all probability, 35,000 murderers and rapists have died.
I wonder how many of the 5,000 were wounded.

In any event, the promised 6 months is up, and Wagner just lost their services of any who survived the 6 months.

So Guess that Bakhmut was not as surrounded as they claimed. What a sad sack he is now.

Hey! You’re posting counter to the Zeeper-Uke-prop narrative!
This causes cognitive dissonance and sever injury.
Please protect the fragile Zeepers.

This is your fault!
