Not to mention we bombed the Nordstream pipeline creating the biggest environmental disaster of all time. All of these since Russia has invaded Ukraine and is still involved in Syria and Yemen. And although we don't officially have boots on the ground anymore in Afghanistan, we still drone strike it every other week and you have to have secret reconnaissance troops on the ground to coordinate those strikes.
      Not to mention this whole Ukraine situation started with the CIA backed coup in Ukraine and the Georgian invasion happened very soon after a pro Russia govt was couped by the same NGOs involved in all of these situations
      It's not the cold war anymore. The CIA doesn't officially work in other countries anymore. Just like the military uses PMCs, the CIA uses intelligence contractors in the form of "pro democracy" NGOs like democracy now, Otpor, the NED, etc.

      Oligarchs at least these days are basically appointed by the Kremlin (like Sechin, Chemisov, Miller, I tend to put Schröder in the same basket at this point) and therefore hold essentially direct control over their enterprise and due to their direct appointment from the Kremlin's side use the company assets to support the Kremlin's policies instead of focusing on their business interests. It's essentially state owned companies at this point. Gazprom randomly cutting ties with the market that had a pipeline capacity of about 200 billion cubic meters a year to go for China which at this point has about 40 billion pipeline capacity is not gonna pay the prices the EU did is not a business move. And changing 80% of Gazproms and other companies dollar revenue from dollars into rubles to support the ruble course is also not a business move. It's socialism with a few crowny billionaires doing what the leader says. There no western company that would be this stupid. Those just focus on their business interests.

      @@what8562 The Mozart Group was co-founded in mid-March 2022 by Andrew Milburn, a retired U.S. Marine colonel Deputy Commander of Special Operations Command Central who also served as the head of Mozart Group, and Andrew Bain, also a former U.S. Marine colonel and a Ukraine-based businessman who became the CFO of the Group.
      The name of the group was chosen as a witty reference and counterpoint to the Russian mercenary Wagner Group, both groups thus being named for German-speaking composers.

      It doesn't exist anymore, never had the structure or ownership, or even the role that was the same as Wagner.
      Wagnerites are not volunteers, they are salaried mercenaries.
      Пригожин is not former military, he is a thief.

    So if given the chance of being in prison for 5 or 20 or 30 years or instead volunteer, for the Wagner group for
    6 months and adventure and danger, and risk death, get paid and be free, what you think most prisoners would choose.

    Does anyone know if this group has any kind of Order of Battle per se? Tanks, Artillery, IFV’s? HQ, unit sizes, and/or actual individual units within the org? Basically a map like structure of the Wagner Group?

      They solely receive Pork meat, because of the fat that is infested with the little worms, it keeps them warm in the winter.
      They stole a lot of cows and sheep in Africa from peaceful people.
