Wagner Loves the Coup

Over the weekend, Russia’s “Wagner” group (a private mercenary group) staged an attempted coup against Moscow, threatening to overthrow Putin. Well, they did for about half a day, and then decided to turn around and just kind of go home.

Supposedly, the leader of the group reached some kind of deal with Putin, or otherwise had his family threatened, or who actually knows. Either way, it was a short-lived excitement across social media.

Wagner, however, will live on in porta-shitters across the Corps for all of eternity.
