You warmed up and hit back solid. Did way better than I could do. One recommendation, convert military speak into analogies so more people understand. You’d be surprised how people not in the military go blurry eyed on acronyms. Growing up for me, it was all do you want pbj on wb at 1300 for chow so I speak the language but many don’t. Getting too technical is easy for SME people. I’m a scientist, I’ve been told to speak English by educated people. You did well but if your going for a broader civi audience you need to dumb it down.
Williams and Faddis both seem like political hacks and the type of conservatives susceptible (or willing amplifiers) to adversarial disinformation. I know the format isn’t a debate, but Faddis’ claims seemed ripe for response.
Ya done good! I used to do quite a bit of standing and delivering extemporaneously wirh Q and A added in to my expected performance. State government, witness in court, professional national organization exposition in a auditorium. I practiced hard using what media training I received. But, my useful crutch was 3x5 cards (cut in 2) with etailed key idea cues in sharpie printed on them. Not many and not very noticeable. And very discreet. After standing and delivering a dozen times or so, I ditched that crutch. This worked for me. Continue your fine work and messaging Ryan, we need you!
Well, I'm sure that talking to a pair of Anti-American nihilist Russian apologists was fun; however, I found their somewhat sneering glances at you to be offsetting.
I was born in the USSR, where people who wanted to know the truth, could tune in to the Radio Liberty, BBC and hear the voices of the opposition to the government news. Where wrong with nowadays western mass media? There is that powerful anti-propaganda in Russia, as well in China , Iran? So pathetic.
Solid rep. With 543 subscribers you can't hurt yourself, and it's great practice. One tip - add a pair of black, and cordovan dress shoes to your wardrobe. Love your work.
everyone says talk this down, ceasefire, stop providing aid to Ukraine. We can end the war now... REALLY... these people never say how exactly.
Putin doesnt care what the rest of the world wants. Sanctions have done nothing to prevent him. He wants control of Ukraine. Is Ukraine supposed to give up its territory, would America in a similar situation, I highly doubt it.
This war will end when Russia gets out of Ukraine its that simple. Putin obviously hasnt lost enough yet to make that decision.
Hi Ryan, Disappointed that whilst accuracy is your forte sadly almost all the items you identified as false were policies voiced by MAGA players during the campaign and thus worthy of an 'aside' at least. If you are going to play in the political sphere just being 'baseball' accurate isn't good enough. The misinformers don't play fair and you on your lonesome will not survive the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune once the bad boys are 'crossed' by one of your 'accurate' calls. SUbstack under review.
What do I think? I think it's great that you tell these far-right-wing lunatics like Armstrong Williams the facts about Tsar Putin's plans to get trump elected to help him re-conquer the Russian Empire. But I would like to see you on more rational platforms, too.

The BBC has become a joke. The biggest problem from so called Russian propaganda is it is missing one crucial element. Russians!
