Comments by "Olga P." (@olgap.) on "Why is NATO not responding to Russian provocations?" video.

3:44-4:00. So, according to @anderspuck , Russia wants European Countries to invest in their military and defence? Sorry, I am not convinced. Why would Russia, such a big-bad-imperialistic-aggressive country that plans to conquer at least half of the EU within next 10 years, as MSM and politicians present it, aim stronger military of a potential rival? Please make it make sense.

@gustavalexander8676 For the most part I agree with your assessment. Still I cannot make anything out of some of his extreme statements that are beyond bias and conformity.

@gustavalexander8676 After watching his videos since Russia started to gather armed forces near Ukrainian border, I struggle to give Commander A. P. Nielsen any benefit of the doubt. To me he is an excellent analyst on Russia as well as a very talented propagandist who fails to combine both roles in a plausible way. 2.5 years ago I was astonished how well he understands Russians, the way we think, communicate, negotiate etc, his content was balanced and objective. Then he started to incorporate some cheesy but still innocent rhetorical techniques, moved on leaving out facts to make his point and finally ended up spreading Anti-Russian propaganda of the dirtiest kind. There is no way his altered content matches class and level of expertise the original one uses to have. I cannot get rid of the impression that @anderspuck is using his audience as guinea pigs for his PHD thesis about the implications of social media on warfare. What you perceive as lack of knowledge appears to me being a test what someone knowledgeable and likable can "sell" to his audience.

@gustavalexander8676 For the most part I agree with your assessment. The guinea pig impression was caused by his statements that are way too off, for example, according to Commander Nielsen Russian army deliberately targets children's playgrounds and hospitals because Russians like to watch it on TV. What is it if not a bold attempt of dehumanisation? Either it was an experiment how far he can go or he is even worse propagandist than I could believe. Any way I am very concerned about how many viewers took this obvious nonsense for true value.

He does not know what Russia wants. He knows what your opinion on what Russia wants should be.

How is this any of your business?
