It isn’t wrong, there is an obvious difference between security guard contractors and Wagner leading divisions in a war.
Russia is building an empire through conquest, the U.S. and other European nations are not.
Are you sure Deep State geo-politics is not about creating global hegemony and demolishing multi-polar world order to create its uni-polar empire?
You know you can’t just reduce it to Wagner. That games has been played with many countries also always calling them mercs, and this country has been accused by other countries of war crimes just as those countries have also accused Russia of war crimes. It’s hard to top Madeline Albright saying the deaths of 500k Iraqi deaths was worth it even when based upon WMD lies.
You need to drop the fossil of chest thumping rah, rah, rah, it ain’t working anymore and it’s now rejected by the world,
Qe have got to get a rules based order, not a neocon or neoliberal one, but one that countries can agree upon or get say 80% to, like Russia pulling back all troops from Ukraine and around the world and the US dismantles NATO back to its 1949 size, the US dismantle bases around the world and so does China. These are possibilities.
Most countries though are long past tired, as news reports from around the world show, if the US getting to stage coups, interfere in elections, etc, and engaging in semantics, and getting away with them. They are aligning against us.
I just hope we’re not past the point of no return.
