Institute for the Study of War
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), colloquially dubbed the Institute for the Study of War Propaganda is a neocon think tank headed by Fred Kagan, brother of neocon godfather Robert Kagan and brother-in-law of Maidan regime conspirator Victoria Nuland.[2] ISW shaped many narratives for the fascist Ukraine propaganda war.[3] Russia is viewed in ISW reports as backward and capable only of ‘meat assaults’—a sort of glorified zombie horde from a video game where, as long as you have enough ammunition, you can stop them at the gates. In a late 2023 report the ISW clearly articulates NATO's goal is to turn the Black Sea into a NATO lake, and even confesses, "The future of NATO is bound up with the future of Ukraine much more tightly than most people understand."[4]
Criticism
Warblogger Simplicius said this about the Kagans and ISW:
| “ | Does anyone else get the sense these Kagans are really lacking in IQ? Why wouldn’t a clearly winning conflict incentivize Putin to, effectively, finish the objectives he literally announced at the start of the very same conflict? That’s basically saying: “We fear that as Russia continues winning, they may consider such winning as to be bringing them toward their stated objectives of victory, and therefore it will cause them to keep winning and push towards those objectives.” How utterly brainless can these people be?[5] | ” |
