"Wagner" PMC Camps on the Polish Border & Kiev's Plans for Crimea
Two stories in one today, folks!
Today a column of PMC “Wagner” is traveling through the western regions of Belarus to the group’s second new field camp in the land along the Polish border. With Prigozhin’s outspoken alliance to Belarus and “Wagner’s” declared participation in Belorussian national combat operations, the company’s story comes to light when one considers both the iron alliance Belarus has with the Russian Federation and Vladimir Putin's recent claim that Poland posses historically Russian lands.
At a micro-level, the schism of ownership and ethnic tensions have been the conflict’s hallmark and “Wagner” has continued it’s role as the most dramatic player with Prigozhin’s Telegram channel offering a wealth of cryptic commentary to be considered. The man has a way speaking to those worth speaking to, if that makes sense.
Take for example the seemingly insignificant commentary from Prigozhin on a flag erected on Mount Ai-Petri in the Crimea by one of his employees. In regards to whoever took the flag down he mentions, almost as an afterthought, the “people waiting in Crimea,” and this is evidently the case.
Simply consider the recent statements of the Ukrainian Representative in Crimea, Tamila Tasheva, made earlier this month describing hypothetical future operations if region were to fall under Ukrainian control. The plans would involve the prosecution of 10 thousand or more “collaborators.” or to say it plainly, any citizen who voted for and preferred Russian rule to Kiev’s. Tasheva urged civilians in the Crimea to avoid persecution by evacuating the region, presumably through the “humanitarian corridors” to the Ukrainian controlled territories. Below is a video exposing the all-too-common reality of such evacuations.

Western plans for the Crimea in the event it falls under Ukrainian control go further than simple prosecution of political dissidents. The Rand Corporation proposed a comprehensive approach at Western occupation in the Crimea in a 2014 report which is shown below but better explained in this documentary made by reporters in Donbass People's Republic.
To bring things back around, it’s clear the Russian Federation sees the militarization of Poland and other nations in the reason as threats for good reason. It’s also apparent that the summer’s alleged coup d'état was something else entirely, despite the narratives pushed by mainstream media and global figures such as Elon Musk. Things are ramping up both militarily (as was told to me personally by individuals on the ground) as well as geopolitically. Hope of a peaceful settlement are burning with the midnight oil.

Thanks for the info. We'd never hear about the Rand report on MSM.
