This was probably an attempt at subtlety in revisionism by him:
"It was strange to see a Soviet tank on a pedestal in the dark of night in the German capital, with Ukraine just a long car ride away.
It stands there as a monument to liberation..."
Liberation was not was the soviet did in Germany. Invasion and occupation are the correct terms.
On the other hand, Norway has long had the nickname "the last Soviet State" here in Sweden due to Norway being even more corporatist than us (making us able to ignore our own faults of the same nature).
And as a professional writer, surely Mikkelsen would know that being openly partisan, even proclaiming it and using the explanation of why is a much better tool for garnering respect even from opponents as well as convincing people of the rightness of the cause, than trying to "put make-up on a sow" like he is doing?
I'm often more upset about someone being bad at putting together their propaganda, than I'm at them for writing propaganda in the first place: chalk one up for me using post-structuralist and narrative discourse as methods (but not ontologies/ideologies) I guess.
Funnyall this, while a holdout like Sweden is finally stopping with the white-washing of the crimes of communism, the global narrative seems to be geared to a very slow-working absolution of communism/socialism as practiced during the 20th century.
Possibly because 99% of the climate/migration/globalist agenda comes from the same modernist-futurist root as communism.
At times you feel almost sorry for the authors of such articles - not only do they have to learn facts, but then have to re-construct them to fit a certain narrative demanded by the boss. One has to have no issues lying and twisting facts to earn a living. Not the job for everyone.
Sure, but at least doing such 'court reporting' doesn't require a backbone or the like. Also, too strong personal convictions would be unhelpful, at best.

Here is one of the neo Nazi's head in Europe.
Sory to say this, but if I was Putin I'll drop some tactical bombs especially in the park where he relax...
I'm not writing that much anymore, but I should translate and publish an article from 2/3 months ago investigating the meeting of american, italian, german (among them) Neo Nazi groups and the following "war camp" in Ukraine with fellow Azov and certainly Nato instructors, an year before the war.
NATO ought to mass troops on its border as close to that Moscow city as possible to find out how important this war is. What these city people will do then.
Of course, would have been a lot cheaper to just buy the goods from Russia than try to take them.
Of course, the goal is of total destruction is to build back better or some such nonsense.

As regards Mikkelsen, well, he's clearly 'part of the system', hence he writes what is expected of him. Just like those people who dissed Habermas.

Also well-compensated, of course. So not really sorry for them

Why Ukraine?
