EU can forget about a strong and united Europe. Too many external forces want to pull it apart from different angles. Probably all 5 UNSC members.

edit: that's right!

Read the sidebar. The proposal here is anything but strong or united.

A flag attack that fails is a a false flag attack.

BTW that drone moved really fast and didn't slow down when it got close to the flag. There was almost no lag time if it was controlled by FVP goggles. Was the timing triggered by GPS coordinates?

I'm not saying it's an extraterrestrial UAP defying the known laws of physics, but it is 100% that.

This is war as envisioned by the James Bond-poisoned intelligence services. It is all about flashy terror attacks. Shocking acts to hold the audiences attention as the violence moves to next location. Apocalyptic threats constantly referred to but always off screen.

War Studies/Defence Studies is actually a pretty mind numbing program taught at a handful of schools, that aren't prestigious for anything else (West Point, Sandhurst and RMC don't send people to Silicon Valley C Suites), the reading is gruelling (professionals study logistics and logistics is not epic or cool), so you have what the Angry Staff Officer describes as a sort of barrier where anyone really excited about war hasn't been educated in it, and nothing written for a professional audience is fun to read.

Military History, of which there are many good programs and enjoyable books, is about as close as it comes, but even then most people who are epic about it online didn't study it formally.

This must happen in other fields. Maybe to Palaeontologists?

I don't think it's a lack of formal education necessarily. You only need to play a TOAW scenario or read a pop history of Stalingrad to appreciate that a field army attacking along a 5km front is not realistic. But NAFO guys understand themselves as literally fighting on the information front, and therefore judge posts based on how effective they think they are as pro-Ukraine propaganda. Disinformation is not just tolerated but encouraged, as long as they think it helps, and anyone discrediting their disinformation is literally a pro-Russian traitor. Naturally I think this drives away anyone with even a little bit of subject expertise.

The best part of this is that they will outright say that "subterfuge" ("disinformation" and "propaganda" are things only Bad Nations do) is part of what they're doing, then immediately turn around and believe what they say to be the absolute truth.

Not just twitter people, think tanks too.

Wasn't RUSI the one that posted an article along the lines of "How could we be so wrong? We assumed Russia was strong but it's actually very weak", followed a few months later by "How could we be so wrong? We thought Russia was weak because we only look at Twitter" followed a few months later by "It's very important to say things that are false but make Ukraine feel good"

Related to what someone was saying earlier about the fail sons of fail sons and media poisoning, the Royal United Services Institute was the gold standard for dispassionate professional analysis until some point in the past 30 years.

Whereas ISW has always been what it is, Nuland connection and all.
