I know many of Putin's inner circle and I believe he has surround himself with yes men. We would go to the Best Managers group, and this was Putin's inner circle. Deceased General Gennadi Trsoshev, Alexander Orlov would discuss these matters. They really know that Putin surrounded himself with yes men. The FSB and GRU were opposed to many of his plans which would not in the long run aid the objectives hey felt were best. I like many others felt we could bring Russia into the fold. Unfortunately, there were those in the States that opposed this.

And if Wagner troops end up in Belarus, what's that mean for NATO?
