Many of the most knowledgeable foreign observers of the Russian-Ukrainian war do not have PhDs or significant military experience. They don't have traditional forms of credibility, so they won't get quoted in the media, but they are experts (and often know more than I do).

There is another issue. Our traditional forms of determining expertise for conflicts (e.g. PhDs or military experience) are often a poor indicator of understanding OSINT or recognizing OSINT expertise. It is a different skill set and OSINT literacy is a problem in academia.

Some quick thoughts on why large parts of the mainstream media keep slipping up on Gaza/Israel (and why it was the same at times with Covid):
The main reason is a failure to keep pace with modern news gathering techniques, but there’s more.

@Inkling61: That isn't a fair generalization. There are many great academics who have done a very good job of providing accurate context for this war and who appreciate OSINT experts.

One of the biggest problems with mis/disinformation from this war is when people with traditional forms of credibility retweet or boost conspiracy theorists, instead of real OSINT experts. It happens all the time, and was particularly bad this summer.

A Russian T-90A tank with a roof screen. The soldier has an AK-12 rifle with a Hexagon suppressor and likely Holosun optics.
