They generate enormous wealth for the Russian state in places like Africa and south east Asia. Less than a decade ago, France and the UK had the world's 4th and 6th largest gold reserves, despite not actually having a single gold mine in their countries. Wagner has been instrumental in systematically kicking the West out.
Also, they fight well in Ukraine. Most Western analysts who are beginning to face reality attribute Ukraine's idiotic obsession with defending Bakhmut to their utter shit show of a counter-offensive now. Something like 60,000 of their most elite troops were wiped out by a bunch of methed-up convicts.

It's largely thanks to Wagner's actions in Ukraine that Russia now controls 12.4 trillion dollars of Ukrainian assets. I'd call that great, wouldn't you?

Few people seemed to get that.
Russia was cutting prisoners off it's expenses, and using them to hold the entire Ukrainian nation at bay before the even got their actual army in there.
Each time the Ukrainians got a kill Russia had one less antisocial criminal to feed.
I've noticed this a lot. If you advocate for immediate peace negotiations, as I do, you're "pro-war", whereas the people insisting Ukraine continues to fight a war they literally cannot win until every last Ukrainian is dead are supposedly interested in "peace". Some seriously Orwellian shit.

Yep, and the Western media played right along with it. "LOOOOL Russia is so destitute they're having to empty prisons to find soldiers!" Nope. The actual Russian army spent 9 months building impenetrable defence lines while the retarded Ukrainians sacrificed an entire army fighting prisoners at Bakhmut. And the 'slava Ukraini' brigade went right along with it, with all that embarrassing "Bakhmut holds!" shit on social media.
Who would have thought that taking war advice from a bunch of American and British 'generals' whose only experience of combat is carpet bombing defenceless Iraqi and Afghan villages (and still losing) would lead to a total Ukrainian shit show?
> You and I both well know that you can't have proper peace negotiations with putins russia
Assuming that's true (which it isn't - Russia borders 14 countries, more than any other country on earth. Only Ukraine is in this mess. It may want to ask itself why) - what's the alternative? Are you still so deluded you believe Ukraine is going to defeat Russia?

Ukraine and the US continue to blame each other for the laughable $40 billion counter-offensive that has wiped out the entirety of Ukraine's 70,000 "NATO-trained troops" in just 11 weeks.
I say again: who'd have thought a bunch of 'generals' who have literally never seen combat with a proper military would fuck this up so badly? This shit is so much easier when you're carpet bombing Afghan farmers (and still losing to them) isn't it?
But hey, who gives a shit? It's only Ukrainians dying, not Americans or Brits, so keep going Zelenskiy!!

In the north we say bugger a lot, and also beggar (it doesn't mean someone who begs, it's just a dialect version of bugger).
