Eastern European NATO countries on Tuesday warned that a move of Wagner's Russian mercenary troops to Belarus would create greater regional instability, but NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance is ready to defend itself against any threat.

"If Wagner deploys its serial killers in Belarus, all neighbouring countries face even bigger danger of instability," Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said after a meeting in The Hague with Stoltenberg and government leaders from six other NATO allies.

"This is really serious and very concerning, and we have to make very strong decisions. It requires a very, very tough answer of NATO," Polish President Andrzej Duda added.

Considering Russia invaded Finland, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Ukraine in the last 90 years, I think they know which direction the threats to their sovereignty lie.

The Russophiles who inhabit these parts can’t seem to grasp what the East Europeans learned around the dinner table about how great the Russians are as neighbors.

What do you make of Prigzhin’s comments about the MoD hiding Russian casualties?
Is this one of the topics the Russophiles avoid?

If Wagner really ends up with 8000 heavily armed troops in Belorussia then Putin will need to maintain at least as many heavily armed competent troops in Moscow.
That’s the last thing Russia needs during this war.

Correct.

The little blue Prigo pills ran out on Sunday, though.

And the Germans are sending troops to Memel.

What could go wrong?

Seems Wagner was able to disengage from the front lines and reposition to a more strategic position outside of the Ukraine without having a shot fired at them.

Not bad for a mutiny.

Why worry? Zeepers say Wagner is on Ukraine’s side.

How many Wagner troops went to Belarus? Certainly not thousands.

Mercenaries are ALWAYS dangerous, for the side that uses them, the side that they are used against, and anyone close enough to rob if they don’t get paid.
