Thank You, Scott.

Karaganov is nothing more than the so called political pseudo-scientist who never was adviser to anyone, never held any government position, and whose ONLY occupation is to promote himself. He has zero military background, he has zero understanding of the warfare, especially nuclear one and ignores, non-stop, Russia's obligations and such documents as Foundations of the State Policy (of Russian Federation) on Nuclear Containment. He is a hack who uses his PR persona to articulate idiotic amateurish ideas on a subject he has no clue about other than one-liners from people who do hold serious positions in Russian military-political hierarchy and who are professionals. Admittedly Karaganov has some access to such people.

My warnings about Karaganov in the West are very weak and could easily be dismissed because of a number possible excuses which could be made about my background and possible biases. But this is gold. Karaganov cannot create any doctrine (which is the system of the views) because he has no system and professional views to do so. It is fallacy, not a "doctrine" and I am glad Scott made this video.

I mean, in the world of morons this shit will fly. 

The U.S. has the most powerful military in human history. It also hasn’t won a war in more than 30 years.

I have news for this guy: in Orwell's 1984 it is called doublethink. Here is definition: Doublethink is a process of indoctrination in which subjects are expected to simultaneously accept two conflicting beliefs as truth, often at odds with their own memory or sense of reality. With CV as his, it is no surprise: Ivo Daalder, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO, is a senior fellow at Harvard University’s Belfer Center and host of the weekly podcast “World Review with Ivo Daalder.” He writes POLITICO’s From Across the Pond column. 

Yes, he is a "political pseudo-scientist" from Oxford's degree mill and he wouldn't know a first thing about warfare and operations despite studying in another degree mill in London, this time in "Strategic Studies". Because of that, he is an Exhibit A of military and strategic incompetence, which also applies to large swaths of NATO's purely military top brass, most of who wouldn't qualify for battalion commander in Russian Army. But sure, US military is "a finest fighting force in history", especially when it comes to rewriting said history. 

Correct, Tony.

Russia doesn't need Europe--you have nothing to offer Russia and you will be destroyed. Gestures mean nothing without guts, India.
