“That last episode about the NordStream-sabotage was horrible. First, you assert strongly that Russia had no motive. You forget to mention that (1) Russia had already stopped delivering gas, and (2) Europe had clearly condemned this while at the same time making it clear that they wanted to make itself i dependent from Russian gas. A Russian sabotage would be a convenient way for Russia to quickly kill a dying relationship in a way that could cause havoc in Europe while blaming others (as it always does). Second, you strongly hint that Ukraine most likely was behind this, and that Europe should view that as a stab in the back. You should know better than throwing speculations like that out during an ongoing war…
Also, in a previous episode: How is it possible to spend an entire episode on Putin’s speech without clearly showing that it’s full of historical half-truths, omissions and outright lies?! Listeners without previous knowledge could come away from it thinking that Ukraine’s existence (and quest for democracy) is illegitimate.
I usually enjoy the Daily immensely, but sometimes you act as useful idiots for Kremlin and autocrats around the world…”
