    I really don’t understand how the Wagner group can exist. Like what are you fighting for? It doesn’t seem worth it.

      Paying bullies and murders to bully, rape and kill people. Why wouldn’t they?

      Money, most of them come really poor backgrounds. Imagine living in the ghetto and getting offered well over $100,000 per year in the US.

      The actual numbers I think soldiers start at 3k per month. Which is a shitton of money for somebody in rural Russia/Moldova/Ukraine. ( yes ukranians have been known to be recruited into Wagner before the war)
