Another day, more evidence--as if we needed that--of the mental illness masquerading as expert-dom™ emerges, this time from Austrian state broadcaster ORF
it's pretty interesting that all of this military personnel forgot for years by the media now are the TV stars or Tube Stars... it looks like they are finally in the center of the western world while Russia or China let the Foreign Ministers or Premiers speak.
But will be interesting, as for Covid was, to have leaks of the training they received to tell to the public all of that lies. Because there has to be a Central source/office in US/UK/EU that tell them what to say.
Among the definitely more weird aspects of Col. Reisner is this, though: his Ph.D. supervisor was one Lothar Höbelt who is a kind of bête noire for the woke/far left-wing intelligentsia as Prof. Höbelt, now retired after decades of teaching at the U of Vienna, holds political views that are anathema to the establishment's camp followers, such as news anchorman Armin Wolf (Prof. Höbelt is of more of a national-conservative stance), hence the absurdity of a far-left news anchor praising Col. Reisner as a historian who must be listened to--although the latter's Ph.D. supervisor is a very notorious right-winger. But since the good Col. Reisner is now singing the tunes amenable to the wokefied far-left, that's all fine and dandy now.
Since he is on active military duty anything he says must be approved propaganda, because can you imagine him speaking anything antagonistic with the prevailing western orthodoxy about Russia? He would be canned in an instance! Only retired military officers can do that, and even then one should remain skeptical.
Of course--and the one thing that needs to be said once more is this: this is an active-duty, general staff-level officer talking to a very, very friendly™ news anchor working™ for the state broadcaster. The German word for 'conflict of interest' is Interessenskonflikt, by the way.
Txs Prof,

Full disclosure: I know (and like) L. Höbelt, but I don't share (many, if not most of) his views.
Since he is on active military duty anything he says must be approved propaganda, because can you imagine him speaking anything antagonistic with the prevailing western orthodoxy about Russia?
