own media? not that our media intentionally s influence but are they involved in the propaganda game? the wagner group is not. they work in the same umbrella corporation of this oligarch who is. so, the wagner group will works very closely with the internet research agency also known as the troll factory in st. petersburg which tries to spread disinformation in the united states to destabilize our country. they work together. we know for example in sudan is a very ambitious politician there who is trying to entice the wagner group and the troll factory into sudan to make him if you will essentially a president and give them mining rights. so we have seen them work closely with this information in the past. putin has been behind the assassination of journalist, political opponents, former
place. and the reason why the wagoner group is so valuable to putin is they provide good, plausible deniability. if they get caught massacring a village putin can say hey, it wasn t me, wasn t the army. it was these rogue mercenaries. which of course is completely false. these guys are working on the orders of the kremlin and the g are you military intelligence et cetera. so, but we need to do if you want to put a stop to this, one of two things. one, if they live off of plausible deniability, put in plausible deniability. our intelligence community can easily track some of these guys and shine the light on them. so, at that point they are useless to putin. they only have value to putin if they can stick around in the shadows. let s turn on the spotlight,
