          That’s great and all, but the simple fact that Wagner is participating doesn’t make it a world war.

              There’s an incredible amount of other context around that event that led to war. Very little of that is present now. The similarities are very very small.

          Wagner stop moving forces there and Belarus is actually taking down the tents. They thought that Putin would keep paying Wagner while they were in Belarus, but the were wrong. Also Wagner is basically a non entity by this point.
