    Clearly, we’re overcomplicating this.

    To be fair, I've said all along that they are mercs, so just offer them more not to fight than Putin is paying them to fight. And from the start, it doesn't seem like he's been real prompt on payment, ammo, food, or support.

    Thankfully, Putin and his military have proven to be even worse on offense than Ferentz and the Hawkeyes.

    Best analogy I’ve seen is this is a mafia war. Families fighting for turf.

    A Lannister always pays his debts.

    Using that motto in real life opens a lot of doors.

    Leopards won’t eat my face, etc.

    Someone is paying the Wagner guy. He isn’t doing this out of the goodness of his heart. This is a little over the top for a bill collection.

    No, I don't think so. Relations between this guy and Putin have been deteriorating for some time. I believe it got to the point where Priz figured "it's him or me real soon." Or possibly he was informed by someone else that's how things stood.
