Those aren't contradictory statements, so whichever you prefer.
Of course those are contradictory statements. Russian acknowledges the Wagner Group, the West make believes Russia doesn't acknowledge them.

Your "funny" video takes places in central Africa - this is how the Wagner Group actually behaves in the region:
Three Russian journalists murdered in Central Africa Republic
Central African Republic: Abuses by Russia-Linked Forces
Your meme-as-propaganda intentionally minimizes this violence in order to portray the Wagner Group in a favourable light. That flippant presentation, along with the ability to fall back on 'it was just a joke' when seriously challenged, has been a major tendency of fascist propaganda on the internet for at least half a decade now.
You're doing it right now with your 'I just thought it was funny' response. Maybe that's true in your case, but perhaps you should ask yourself why the pro-Russian videos fed to you via algorithm are beginning to pepper in openly fascist apologia as well, and ask yourself if that's a pipeline you want to journey down.
This is just a student newspaper, but one of the better explanations of the process that I could find: Opinion: It’s Not Just a Joke

Memes have formed both shields and pipelines into fascistic ideology, coaxing a myriad of internet users into its ranks.

Oh….so now we’re saying that what he did there was a “Hitler Pose”. I can hear the echo coming from your room all the way from over here.

I get that memes, comics, and funny videos are funny to one side and trigger the other, so maybe you should bring this topic up in a more serious thread?

Here, Trump did the same thing but he is at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory looking like a spoiled brat.

Quite a bit more work in that one. Tells a story, plays on pop culture, just doesn't rely one a screenshot of fists being shown.

How about this one that I saw that gained some traction on the right?

Do the right consider the MAGA people a religion and ethnicity?

Honestly, that's not far from the truth.
I was reading a PEW research poll on religiosity recently, and what I found was both interesting, and perplexing. Atheism/agnosticism has been on a very steady rise in America, and the reason for that is quite strange, but somewhat understandable. PEW said that people are leaving religion, because religion (In particular Christianity) has been so closely tied with conservative values in this country, and they don't agree with conservatism. As if you can't be a liberal and a Christian simultaneously.
It's funny, because I was raised very Christian, I went to a private school that taught religion, for much of my upbringing, and I remember being told to vote Republican. We actually had a field trip to a George W Bush rally. My grandparents told me that Christians vote Republican, because we don't believe in hand outs, or abortion... They were also against homosexuals, and when my mom brought a black boy home that she wanted to date, my grandparents threw him right out of the house. She wasn't allowed to date Catholics either, but I guess that's how shit was back in the day.
Republicanism is more than just a political ideology. It's been inextricably linked to religion, and often to blue collar white culture. Republicans don't care about the arguments, they don't care about being right... They vote for their team, and generally always will.
The number one thing... Possibly the ONLY thing that could make a Republican vote blue, is economic struggle. When the shit hits the fan, people are more inclined to reconsider their political alignment.
