“Shoigu, moves on after 12 successful years in his role as Russian defense minister. He architected the expansion of Russia’s military industrial complex to eclipse that of the collective west” That’s the version of reality you will not hear on DW.
"DW's Russia analyst." Think about the way Eggert is introduced by the DW anchor, "our expert." Maybe relying overwhelmingly on one "in house" analyst is not such a good idea? Yet DW has a small stable of go-to analysts that they use over and over and over. That's convenient for them, but not conducive to a diversity of views and self-critical analysis. Consequently, even though people on the outside marvel at the terrible track record of these experts and wonder why they are never called out (or even replaced?) for their consistently failed predictions, those inside the "DW bubble" all praise and support each other. It's kind of funny with the chaos and corruption on display in Ukraine to hear them highlight Russia's "revolving door" of leadership and "widespread corruption." Sure Russia is corrupt, but at least the money to build defensive lines was spent to build defensive lines. In Ukraine, along the Northern border with Russia, it seems that only 30% of the money allocated for building defensive lines was actually spent for that. With the result that those lines are about 30% effective.
All of u Western media propagandists keep on saying that the new Russian defense minister doesn't have military experience. Do Western defense ministers have military experience

As a national security council adviser, he has grown closer to Putin... whereas the new guy is an economist technocrat who will bring more money for military expansion by relieving Shoigu of administrative duties!!!
