It's almost hilarious how desperate those clowns masquerading as scholars are for anything that they can push as a successful prediction to people that didn't know Ukraine existed before 2022.
"This is about democracy" coming from someone who works for the US military is just... *chef's kiss*
I’d never heard of him.
I have literally never been employed by the DoD or any American government agency.
You're not connected to the us military? It's not what I got from your posts.
Define connected. If serving under NATO command or being part of British attachments to American units in Inherent Resolve counts as "Connected", or working in the private sector that has the DoD as one of its clients counts as "connected", sure.
But I'm not eligible to be a servicemen in the United States Military and even getting a security clearance for a private sector consulting gig was long and painful.
NATO-Member Turkey Open to Deploying Peacekeepers in Ukraine

Irony is that his fans will hold a Dem accountable for something they said 25 years ago but this guy can change his tune constantly and they ll lap it up.
Connected enough for me to stand by my comment I guess.
Right. It seems only Putin has the right to decide the future of Ukraine because everyone else is a hypocrite.
How much straw did you use in that post?
Not sure what "The Moscow Enquirer" is (google only gives me your post on redcafe) but the Moscow Times have been branded a "foreign agent" and, later, an "undesirable organization" (which means that anyone collaborating with it can get a prison sentence in Russia) and had relocated to Amsterdam after the beginning of the invasion. Your implication that he has some hidden/suppressed allegiance to Russia (not as a country but as a political entity) is odd and even tone-deaf.
I haven't heard of the guy before but that "The Decay of Western Civilization and Resurgence of Russia" book of his sounds like a must read...
Alright, theoretically it may be ironic but somehow I doubt it.
Glenn Diesen? You're having a laugh. You'll struggle to find a greater spreader of Russian propaganda than that traitor.
He's a well-known figure in Norway on this subject. Been spewing typical Kremlin rhetoric for years and is pushing his professor title as a way portray some kind of authority on the subject to those who are not familiar with him. Sadly his employer, Oslo University, won't do anything about it, because you know, freedom of speech and democracy.

Glenn Diesen
In today’s #vatniksoup I’ll introduce a Norwegian political scientist and pro-Russian propagandist, Glenn Diesen (@Glenn_Diesen). He is best-known for his promotion of pro-Russian propaganda on RT and for his articles on conspiratorial, “anti-globalist” blog Steigan.Norwegian personalities aren’t exactly on the tip of people’s tongues.
President of United States is pro-Russian propagandist. Those other Twitter/X pro-Russian propagandists are all of a sudden insignificant.
it's all variations of what Trump says out loud, "the bigger state has the right to take things from the smaller state". The pro-russia westerners and their lemmings don't like siding with imperialism outright so they don't say that part willingly, but switch it to "of course the bigger state will take land from the smaller state, it's just self protection from the west".
If you can frame it as anti-west, you can basically call for the most heinous shit to be done to innocent people. Just as the west has unfortunately taken "terrorism" to do the same in a lot of cases.
