#12  #10 - sort of like the Spanish Civil War. At least those winners peacefully transitioned to representative government without the entire economy in the tank.

#7  Wagner's 1200 is a tenth of Erdogan's 11,000. My guess is that Wagner's concentrating on training, not fighting. LNA's tactics and discipline have improved quite a bit in the past year.

#6  about 10 times better to have russian mercenaries (like the LNA does) than to have Syrian mercenaries (like the GNA does)

What's the slogan on the banner?
Looks s.t. like, "MYSTERY CONSULTING GROUP ... WE'RE NOT ANGELS, BUT WE ARE HERE" (?)
