The best scenario is that Algeria candidly explains its interests in this conflict to Russia and pledges not to provide any material support to the Tuaregs as a goodwill gesture for maintaining their strategic partnership.
If you consider WWII to have started when USSR/Germany invaded Poland, we are at an analogous stage. (And frankly, I consider WWII to have gone hot when Japan invaded China, WWIII to have started with the Ukrainian coup & fighting over Crimea, Donbas & etc.). Great power engaged in shooting war on border to secure buffer zone, check.
All major players noticing it is time to crank up arms production? Check.
Looks like Algeria is sufficiently unhappy with Russia that it is airing it's grievance instead of discussing with Russia
A very intriguing highlight in a complex global came of thrones ✨️
As we get closer to WW3, everyone is looking for anew footing to grab onto.

WWIII is here, it's already a hot war.

Alliances shifting, treachery/diplomacy/assassinations, check!
Virtually all governments going hard(er) right, leftish peace-y types getting whacked on by brown shirts/blue line types? Check.
Oh, it is on.
So what's to stop Algeria from doing a 180 and making nice with the West, once Wagner is gone?
