Mick ryan? Fucking shill. He's been saying for years in every Australian newspaper and TV outlet that would have him how ukr would just roll over inept Russian training and outdated systems. Just reality detached , essay after essay. I'm surprised he's pivoting, cause it wasn't for lack of evidence over the course of the war; he didn't know what he was talking about from then till now . I would be circumspect on anything this guy says : imho his US DoD handlers must be pushing the new message.

Thanks all for the input.

As a follow up I'm in Latvia and I'm having a icky feeling that they are going to maidan their Russian speakers here some time. Just went on a walking tour and the guide was " need more Latvian babies Russian old people need to be politically trimmed,nato is saviour"

Travelling in Baltic states: post Soviet demonisation is pretty wild. Need a quick info dump (hexbear.net)
 

Vilnius, Just been to an art gallery and the museum of occupations (soviets real bad). Unlike in Germany where they temper their anti soviet edge with their obvious “well, we did do the holocaust “ guilt, here there is no compunction. Absolutely no accountability for the holocaust and even they they blame their antisemitism on the soviets and the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact

What is going here? Is this all post Soviet world building lore generated by nato?

The only thing that I found vaguely compelling was the sheer number of deportations the Soviets did. It’s the Lithuanian bloody shirt , and they can’t stop waving . Why so many in the Baltics and so few in Germany? What was the logic behind it? Were they all nazi sympathisers and landlords? I’m not going to find anything remotely objective here, and it seems like it’s such a Story Of Strategic Importance that it’s put in the header of most things I read here.

Spot check of a few sad pictures I found in the museum of heroic partisans brutally murdered by Soviet brutes :quick google search and yep, Simon Wiesenthal got em flagged for some horrible shit.

Can I get some good places to look ? Not looking for “Stalin did nothing wrong “counter narratives but With ukr going on there is precious little sources on the front page that aren’t thrumming with “Russian orc bad all ways and forever more “
