Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Lots of smoke around Kerch bridge, Kremlin says the missles were shot down but all traffic is stopped on bridge. Satellite photos needed
 
ISW has a host error and isn’t currently available. An SSL invalid certificate? F-ck me I’ve read that update daily since Kepler posted a link to it 18 months ago.

It's up.

I have also read it every day since the invasion. I have to remind myself how evil they are on the ideological level because of how amazing they are on the analytical level.

You can hope, but your pal Putin is in a world of hurt.

Gonna be interesting for you when they open up the SVR archives and find all the checks to the GOP.

Fred Kagan is the ISW guy.

As with all his stuff, please remember this is one of the PNAC/AEI as-sholes who brought us the Iraq debacle. He is Neocon scum. But their work on the Ukraine war has been excellent.

It appears Kagan is the only author who is not an ISW person. I don’t care what their work is outside of the Ukrainian/Russian war. I doubt I read it anyways. I don’t read their Iran updates or anything else on the ISW website except the Ukraine/Russia updates. Their coverage of this particular topic is thorough and outstanding.

Dude.

Fred is a principle contributor to ISW and his byline has been on many of their pieces about the war. The founder of ISW is Kimberly Kagan, Fred's wife. Another contributor is Robert Kagan, Fred's brother. The founder of the modern Neoconservative movement and of PNAC was Donald Kagan, Fred's father. ISW's principle corporate funding is from Raytheon and General Dynamics.

As I said, ISW's reporting has been outstanding -- I literally read it every day. But know who and what they are. Hugo Boss' Waffen-SS uniforms were awesome, but they were still for Nazis. If you read their Iran coverage, which alternates with Ukraine on their home page, it's clearly trying to gin up another attack

Sh-tty people can do good work. The Kagans are sh-tty people.

So, Kagan is not an ISW guy, but has connections there. Duly noted.
With that out if the way, may I ask why you have reminded me specifically, and only me, more than once, that these people suck outside of the Ukraine/Russia updates, when I’ve responded to you more than once I only read their Ukraine/Russia coverage?

No, he is a f-cking ISW staff writer and given his wife probably editorial board or a least finance. Why are you prolonging this? Take the L and move on. Near as I can tell we both agree on everything.

I am not responding solely to you. I want the world to remember that (1) ISW has been a go-to for Ukraine, although TLDR Europe and Good Times, Bad Times are getting up there, and (2) also caveat emptor because ISW are also a bunch of limp dicked psychopaths who should be shot into the sun.

This is not critiquing you. If it comes up as only replies to you, sorry, that's a coincidence.
