To be fair I and many others thought he was dead for awhile. He went dark for a few months aside from a grainy video saying he was "totally fine guise trust me."
He essentially killed the remnants of alpha group. It'll be interesting to see if they can even reconstitute that unit after the war. I haven't even seen so much as a patch in months. Completely wiped out in the Kiev push and route with the stragglers getting artied doing protection work seems to have been true.
>Wagner would have eventually captured Bakhmut
They got pushed out of any gains they had made - all the way out of Opytne.
They then proceeded to cope and shitpost on social media while the regular army pushed and entire corps into Soledar's direction and eventually took most of it (but apparently not all of since Russian propaganda channels keep posting about victories in Soledar).
It's about Russian internal politics.
Whoever becomes too popular or powerful enough to outshine the Tsar must be brought down to the heel, doesn't matter if they're a Boyar or a Kholop.
Shoigu was getting too much flack and Prigozhin too much credit from the Russian information scene for Putin's liking, so he has to level the field so his Boyars keep fighting amongst themselves without one getting too much of a hand against the other, so that they won't later turn it against him.
Did Gerasimov gain 100 pounds recently? Bastard looks pregnant.
He was a ftm troony all along.

he looks like he spent the 6 months he was silent after being bombed at Izium inside a hospital being drunk and not doing much physical activity
No. Wagner would have eventually captured Bakhmut with human waves of penal troops. This is about Shoigu vs Prigozhin.

>muh penals
They ran out of penals weeks ago. It's mobiks and their own professionals that kept dying in the hudnreds at Soledar.
Even convicts have finally read the writing on the wall in Russia. They know this war is lost.
Wagner's executions have driven off new recruits. Once the current batch is exterminated, no more convict scum.
Does he actually have downs? Jeuss Christ, that's a bad photo.
seriously what the frick is he wearing this is one level up from a Adidas track suit
>one level up from a Adidas track suit
Also known as the finest piece of fashion known to Russia.
you mean a step down?
I like how this is just turning into an extremely petty Gerasimov bashing thread rather than an actual discussion of the OP.
Don't get me wrong, I fully approve. Any excuse to make fun of the Russian high command is a good one.
Interfactional fighting. Favorite pasttime of every tyranical regime in their death throes
>A fricking tracksuit
I still can't belive we used to fear these guys
the rates on these loans have got to be fricking horrendous cause you know they arent paying it back 90% of the time
Wagner were always a disposable tool
>B.B.
Big Booty?
It's pronounced Big Bigbooté, Buckaroo Banzai.
Love how Gerasimov laughs at this farce in the video.
