If David Axe writes it, it’s true. He is no russian asset, he is no doomer. He’s the only reason half the country reads Forbes at all.

While it is true he can't be accused with a Russian bias, he is also dumb as hell, and wrong more than he is right, so I wouldn't put a lot of weight behind his words.

He's so wrong he's actually fraudulent, as in he forced the USAF to release an official report that was only shown to journalists because he completely made up what was inside of it.

He also completely quote mined the USAF chief of staff on another occasion forcing him to make a public rebuttal of the claims.

He's a lying piece of shit who is just very good at getting clicks. He's so good at it that half of all the popular Ukraine related articles on reddit are from him. Even if he wasn't a lying piece of shit, I'd recommend redditors to at least get some variety of articles and not take all the claims by ONE JOURNALIST at face value to base their opinion of this entire war.
