Well, howdy there internet people, it's Bow again.

So today we're going to provide a little bit of an update on what's been going on in Russia.

Because apparently a deal has been struck.

The contracting side, the private side is, it looks

like they're standing down. That has prompted a bunch of questions about what the deal is.

You have two deals in a situation like this.

One is the public facing one.

That's the one that we'll get to know about.

Eventually, looks like the

rumor mill says those private guys that want to sign on with the Ministry of

Defense can take contracts with them those who don't will be redeployed and

sent to pursue Russian national interests in other places like Africa. So they will become Russia's soft imperial force. It's

important to remember that's actually their job.

That's what that firm is for.

Prior to Ukraine, that firm was used as kind of

like their special operations command.

They weren't really ever supposed to be infantry,

which is how they were being used there.

It looks like the boss may have to go to Belarus and chill there. I'm not real sure about that. There are rumors about some changes in the Ministry of Defense's leadership, but again all of

this is rumor and realistically none of this really matters. This is the public facing deal.

There was also a private deal struck.

What that is?
