The fact, you have another thread here recently, with mostly the usual British folk completely clamoring on the Disrupting, burning, meddling and vandalizing people’s voting and polling stations?
So to their logic, they’re basically saying “let’s meddle and try to manipulate another country’s voting population and completely disregard any of them anyway!!!”

Maybe they have enough braincells to realise how much of an affront to democracy the Russian state is.

There's reality then there's Russian reality. Call us up when we start killing your politicians because we both know manipulation of Russian elections is akin to pissing in the sky to stop the rain.
At the end of the day you get optimal performance out of a soldier who wants to be there, hence why Wagner was so effective. Some do it for money, some for 'honour' and others because they're sick little puppies with nothing better to do with their existence. On the western side the pay must be good because I see no evidence of them stealing white goods (washing machines etc) to haul back to where they came from.
Or maybe all us Brits are being paid to post here in attempts to make Russia look bad, the thing is though we just need to talk about the facts and the psychology that drives the thinking behind the average angry Russian who watches far too much state TV.

I'm not afraid to die in a nuclear holocaust if that's what you mean?
I'll always opt to use my tongue before my fists if that's what you mean?
Afraid of people who are afraid of freedom? Not at all. Some things are worth dying for. This is a thread about mercenaries and the way you've talked about Wagner gives me a good indication of how you feel about other's rights. I couldn't give a flying goose about politicians and I've never looked up to them as if their brains are somehow superior to the average peasant.
I have very similar views on people willing to use force so casually to get what they want, I reckon they should be dealt with in a civilised fashion via laws we can all agree on but in the end a bullet or repetitive blows to the head will suffice. You'll not find me being a loudmouth shooting off threats left, right and center.
Last resorts shouldn't be first choice. I'm often urging people not to be backwards. The more I come to understand the Russian mindset and the psychology behind it the more I see damaged people, backwards.

If whatever above you truly mean, then you should bow out.

Clearly, you’re not educated enough in the matter.
Oh the pot calling the kettle black.
But thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention that Russia has its mercenaries too. Most of them criminals. Putin broke their spines so that the next Prigozhin isn't born and there's no need to arrange yet another plane crash.
