      it's depressing that Molly McKew has been allowed to launder her fraudulent expertise through my own academic institution

      this is like hiring a flat earther to teach in a geography department. the fact that this grifter is being allowed to teach undergraduates with our stamp of approval is a goddamn disgrace

      considering that her response to criticism from Russian-born people (like Masha Gessen, who was literally driven out by Putin's homophobic policies!) is to imply that Russians are all Putin stooges, it doesn't make me feel particularly great to be a @CERESGeorgetown affiliate

      by the way, this isn't about politics! I disagree with Madeline Albright politically but it's great that Georgetown undergraduates have a chance to learn from her. McKew is actively dangerous because the one constant of the career is that she uses every platform to tell lies.

      I curse myself for falling down this rabbit hole at 2 in the morning but it's odd that her name isn't listed anywhere in the catalog in relation to the course, there's no website or syllabus either

      anyway, to sum up: 1) McKew is about as qualified to teach a class on Russian hybrid warfare as any given content mill click farmer. Her one contribution to the "literature," the so-called Gerasimov Doctrine, has been repeatedly debunked as a paranoid chimera

      2) she has a habit of smearing people on the basis of national origin, among other incredibly flimsy pretexts 3) she habitually acts as an agent of foreign governments without revealing this status. right now she appears to be on the payroll of the Estonian government

          4) a student who takes her class will not know which of her ideas are truth, which are credible suppositions, and which are complete fabrications. her fantasies about an imminent Russo-Estonian War are only the latest in a long career of unhinged fearmongering.

          (I have been informed by a credible source that McKew is not in fact employed by the Estonian government, despite appearances. Mea culpa.)

          Is this about the perceived smear of Moscow-based correspondents and grad students? The problem is that all are dependent on visas and that does tend to chill criticism. But if you want to call out some that have braved that, go ahead.
