    Ok.

    At least no one around me were actually hoping for Wagner to take out Putin. If Wagner were strong enough to pop Putin, who would take the power then? Prigozhin? Someone Prigozhin selected?

    The only outcome of Wagner getting rid of Putin would be someone as “nice” as Putin ending up ruling Russia.

    We would just end up with essentially the same problem but now with additional instability in a state with nuclear weapons.

    But there’s probably not a correct view on what people rooted for. I based my view on my experience from the people I surrounded myself with at the time.

    Either way, hoping for that anything Wagner does ending up good is naive. The only good thing Wagner has done was the Battle of Khasham.
