Allowing private armies, is a very dangerous policy. Wagner Group is not even the largest such force, in Russia. Gazprom's private army, is twice the size of Wagner!

@DARKGAMING-lg2qf In 1991, the army and the KGB were also, "...owned by the russian gov".

@AvidAfrican Yes, I do. As I said to @DARKGAMING-lh2qf, in 1991, the army and the KGB, were also owned by the government. Gorbachev, still lost his position.

@DARKGAMING-lg2qf The Russian govermenment was the only paymaster, in 1991, for the KGB and the army. Gorbachev still lost his position. Nobody else had even offered them money.

@DARKGAMING-lg2qf Exactly. So, your point about Gazprom being government owned, is inconsequential.

@azzking9305 The French Foreign Legion, is not a private army. It is part of the French military and is commanded by French officers. Th legion is entirely funded by the French government.

@truthdrifter I've never known of a gang this large, and in possession of artillery.

@sjoerdhartman9181 I would not say that Wagner Group, is big enough to be called a country.

@MSDGroup-ez6zk Wrong! The Gurkha Regiment is not a private army. It is wholly owned and operated by the UK government, with taxpayer's money. It is one of many parts of the British Army. You failed, bot.

@bewlaybrother4460 is correct. The 1991 coup was put down. However, the plummeting confidence in Gorbachev, meant he immediately lost most of his power and Yeltsin was legally made, number one, from then on.

@hansjohan3150 "...knows what's going on everywhere", but still couldn't shut up Prigozhin or stop hom from taking Rostov. This whole situation is absurd. You would have seen/heard Putin's speech this morning. Prigozhin and his troops were labelled traitorous criminals that would be punished. This evening, they are free men!?!?
