Lukashenko may have grabbed a tiger by the tail, but then again, they don't look very impressive.

Post Ukrainian soldier pics for compare & contrast.
They’re making up to 60 year olds fight, correct?

Boy Howdy! That was the strangest ending to a mutiny or rebellion or revolution I have ever seen. No one in the stockade. No gallows. Not even the “leader” being frog marched in front of the cameras.
Russia ain’t acting very Russian these days. Or something.

This is a troop movement and not some asylum effort.

They definitely need some shaping up, but it's still a good staging area for an invasion of Ukraine.

Not so hot if you're Belorusian.

Russian remix of Paul Hardcastle:

In World War II the average proof of vatnik tears was twenty-six
Inininininin Voronezh, it was ninety
In Voronezh it was ninety
N-n-n-n-ninety

All those who remember Wagner
They won’t forget Prighozin
Conscription! Of lags past their prime
Whose av’rage sentence was nineteen (years)

Enjoy your retirement in Belarus, guys.

Slavic areas of old (like...Kiev) “invited” various Viking groups to help as mercenaries. Next stop...rulers.

Time will tell whether the Wagners are there to open the northern front against Ukraine, to force Belarus to jump into the war, take over Belarus completely, or all of the above. But tiger by the tail it is — nothing like having gangs of heavily armed mutinous mercenaries camping out back.
