Blood, Gold, Biolabs, and Coups: The Secret History of the Wagner Group (Patreon)

In this Farm exclusive, join me for an epic breakdown of the origins and purpose of the Wagner Group. Here I'm unpacking its links to precursors like Executive Outcome and Far West Ltd.; and its curious relationship with the Russian Army. From there comes the main event: how PMC Wagner always manages to be Johnny-on-the-Spot for CBW labs; who really controls it; its feud with Orthodox nationalists; and whether its plotting Putin's removal.
