charging an employee of a Russian troll factory known as the “Internet Research Agency” with “criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States” (related to election influence). These cases notwithstanding, Putin is clearly winning Russia’s hybrid war against the U.S. because Americans don’t understand how they are being manipulated.
REPEATING: “Putin is clearly winning Russia’s hybrid war against the U.S. because Americans don’t understand how they are being manipulated.” - December 11, 2020
One of the main difficulties in countering malign Russian influence stems from divergent understandings of hybrid warfare. Russia considers hybrid warfare a form of conflict which includes strategic uses of economic, diplomatic, and influence operations, along with the use of military forces and espionage. By contrast, the U.S thinks of hybrid warfare as actions or tactics used before a conventional war. While the U.S. thinks it is managing pre-conflict aggression, Russia already considers itself in the midst of a strategic battle disguised as competitive aggression.

“because Americans don’t understand how they are being manipulated.” - December 11, 2020
“a central part of a new system of political control. And to understand how this is happening, you have to look to Russia, to a man called Vladislav Surkov, who is a hero of our time. Surkov is one of President Putin’s advisers, and has helped him maintain his power for 15 years [as of 2014], but he has done it in a very new way. He came originally from the avant-garde art world, and those who have studied his career, say that what Surkov has done, is to import ideas from conceptual art into the very heart of politics. His aim is to undermine peoples’ perceptions of the world, so they never know what is really happening. Surkov turned Russian politics into a bewildering, constantly changing piece of theater.” - BBC, Adam Curtis, year 2014

Let’s go over that one more time:
“Putin is clearly winning Russia’s hybrid war against the U.S. because Americans don’t understand how they are being manipulated.” - December 11, 2020
You know what happened less than one month after that statement was made by an establishment conservative think-tank declaring that Americans don’t get the Internet and the mob mentality that Russia is inducing via hybrid warfare? On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., was attacked by a mob of supporters of President Donald Trump in an attempted self-coup, two months after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. They sought to keep him in power by preventing a joint session of Congress from counting the Electoral College votes to formalize the victory of the president-elect Joe Biden. The attack was unsuccessful in preventing the certification of the election results.
USA doesn’t get how the “Internet Research Agency” and Surkov tactics work at all… from the linked article: “Russia has been waging a silent, “hybrid war” against the U.S. for years. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s goal: to influence American minds.” - December 11, 2020
Because Americans are entitled idiots with easily manipulated pudding brains. Heritage Foundation holds no small part of the blame for helping Trump and the other ideologues to foment discontent with the government by dialing in on the bigotries held by the idiot masses.
LOL
“The U.S. should confront Russia with evidence of their malign behavior”
There lies the problem. As if they wouldn’t show it if they had any.
Usually the regime press doesn’t talk about evidence in their constant demonising and slandering of Russia.
Wild accusations and blaming them for every bad thing that happens in the west based on nothing more but “it is believed, sources say,alledgedly”LOL
That’s the real true problem of the world. People think bad things are hilarious and funny. Morality issues of being attracted to self-destruction of earth, wrecking good, etc. Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Vlad Putin, terrorists, murder, killings LOL LOL LOL amused all the time on social machines.
slandering of Russia. Wild accusations and blaming them for every bad thing
The bad things are people’s attraction to hate, dehumanization, morality problem.
It’s only useful to identify that it comes from Russia to understand it. The lack of morality education in domestic Russia is a threat to the world, if they decide to set of nuclear bombs or spread other weapons of mass destruction (diseases being the cheapest and easiest) because they are attracted to LOL LOL amusement and mockery of humanism, it doesn’t really matter where and which nation it matters that nobody bothered to help people understand morality of good from bad.
All human beings can become monsters and choose bad and avoid good. The concern is the entire world. Technology to wreck good keeps advancing, it’s what is in people’s minds and attraction to bad that’s the threat to every person on the planet.
to identify that it comes from Russia to understand it.
And there we go again.
All this baseless demonising Russia without evidence.
The paranoid warmongering and delusional scaremongering reporting is simply laughable.
And that the US shithole is also blaming them for their own pathetic situation even more.
So yes LOL LOL LOL
Tell me about the great morality of kids in cages, imperialism, wars, helping Palestinian genocide, etc… before Trump.
Same for Europe.
Nothing but hypocrites.
Did the fascst ukraine coup and the war they started, hardly reported on by the moral west, come from Russia? Did Trump unilaterally break all the decades old missile treaties and put missiles in Romania or keep arming ukraine bcs he’s a ‘Russian asset’?
How can one not ridicule the gullible suckers believing this nonsense?Tell me about the great morality of kids in cages
That’s bad morality. The fact you can’t tell good for bad is your education crisis of moraltiy.
It’s very common on the Internet that people seek out bad and are attracted to bad. that’s a morality problem, a failure to understand morality.
You clearly can’t see the hypocrisy.
You are in no position to lecture me on morality.You are in no position to lecture me on morality.
I’m not lecturing you on it. I’d rather you go away and stop commenting to me.
The morality problem is global. People can not tell “good from bad”, which is the meaning of the word “morality”.
People think ELon Musk’s ideas about empathy are good, for example.
You clearly can’t see the hypocrisy.
You believe that Lemmy conveys what I understand and see. You have a media ecology literacy problem. I suggest you study Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman. !BackTo1985@lemm.ee community on Lemmy for that.
Your incoherent ramblings and your fixation on Muskrat don’t interest me either.
You are definitely trying to lecture me, and in a pretentious way at that.
Even literally telling me to study this or that.
I know plenty about media and propaganda.
You fail to see that what you’re posting is propaganda in itself.
The ones screaming about Russian propaganda all the time are mostly blind to that of their own side.
When confronted they get either angry or want to stop the conversation bcs they can’t take anything challenging the narrative they have been fed.
All this describes you.
So quick, use the block button and get back in your echo chamberYour incoherent ramblings and your fixation on Muskrat don’t interest me either.
Yes, they do. You just lack sefl-awareness that you have a “target fixation” on me. And you won’t stop rreplying.
I’m using this as a “teachable moment” to the machine learning.
These messages are being blogged elsewhere as part of media ecology literacy courseware.
The ones screaming about Russian propaganda all the time are mostly blind to that of their own side.
Which “side” is that? I think THE TOTAL NATION of UNITED STATES, 100 percent, 330 million people are BLIND TO RUSSIAN propaganda I teach about “sides” over on Great Seal USA community of Lemmy: !GreatSealUSA@lemm.ee
The ones screaming about Russian propaganda
Did I scream loud enough? Next, we have the crisis of the Levant monomyth - The BIble in USA. Bible verse John 1:1 and verse “1 John 4:20” - it’s a problem similar to the Russian one. I’m SCREAMING ABOUT THAT over on Lemmy community !FictionNonFiction@lemm.ee
