    Why shouldn’t one country ask for help from another? At least Wagner is there at the invitation of the host government. The US is currently occupying a third of Syria (a sovereign nation) who doesn’t want us there. I’m sick of OUR hypocrisy in the US.

      Its the same with the whole Ukraine thing. Americans say "Ukraine has the right to join NATO if they want"... Okay so your also saying Cuba can host the Russian military and offensive missile forces? The US didnt seem to like that in the Cuban missile crisis but its fine if the US does it in Ukraine? Another example - US "only" lost 3000 odd people on 9/11 and then went on a 20 year rampage, do Americans know that Ukrainians "eliminated" over 10,000 Russian speaking civilians in Ukraine since 2014? The US can do something about losing 3,000 people but how dare Russia do something about losing 10,000 civilians in former Russian territory.. One word sums up the US elites and its puppet states - hypocrisy

    "who do you answer to?" The response should be the host country. If they violate a local law [and get caught], they should be held responsible to the local authorities.

    This is incompetent reporting. Prigozhin never served with anyone. He has no connection to the military. Neither is he the founder of Wagner. The founder of Wagner was Utkin. Also, inept reporting on the rebellion. The rebellion was not against Putin. Wagner group or it's members support Putin. The rebellion was against Shoigu and Gerasimov. The heads of the defense department. It's unlikely that Putin had anything to do with Prigozhin's death. It is more likely that it was Shoigu responsible. Notice that currently in Russia Shoigu has been transferred from being the head of the army and Shoigu's deputy arrested on corruption charges.
