Are you denying that Russia has been messing around in the region? Why is Wagner even there in the first place? Or is interventionism good when Russia does it?
I asked you what your theory is on the situation and you responded by putting words in my mouth.
Again, do you think Russia engineered this, only to deny it, only to pay people to waive Russian flags around?

Well, then, in case Russia didn't engineer it, it's pretty clear that they supported it, but that's just semantics at this point. Doesn't the modus operandi look very familiar?
...Nothing in that article says Russia supports the coup government. It doesn't mention a Russian stance at all; it just says the coup government has asked Wagner for support (which it does not say has been given).
You've now ignored for a second time how stupid it is to think Russia engineered this, then simultaneously tried to hide it/paid locals to wave Russian flags around.
