"How Vladimir Putin is revolutionizing information warfare"

"At the NATO summit in Wales last week, General Philip Breedlove, the military alliance’s top commander, made a bold declaration. Russia, he said, is waging “the most amazing information warfare blitzkrieg we have ever seen in the history of information warfare.” It was something of an underestimation. The new Russia doesn’t just deal in the petty disinformation, forgeries, lies, leaks, and cyber-sabotage usually associated with information warfare. It reinvents reality, creating mass hallucinations"

Americans believe US disinformation much more. Obviously, Russian narratives that it is defending itself is not objectively disinformation, and fully understood by population and military. The mass hallucination that NATO is a purely defensive alliance and didn't fully provoke war in Ukraine is out of this world surreal, and only possible by insisting that reality is the hallucination.

Russia has directly addressed The American People, We The People, what they are doing in February 2019. The problem is that in April 2025, you won't find a single Lemmy user who is able to use search engines anymore, they are all so fixated on comment sections of Lemmy that their mind can no longer understand or comprehend any information outside their immediate fixation and expectations of Twitter-style meme-speak / Fox News language style. People are all mentally trapped inside the 5,000 alternate reality screen games / mental mindsets crafted by the psychologists and psychiatrists of Cambridge Analytica and augmented by Surkov's students.

"Americans who worry about Russia election interference should stop focusing on such trivialities and instead realize that the idea that they have a choice over how they are governed is a mere illusion, Vladislav Surkov, an adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin, wrote in an op-ed published this week."
"The illusion of choice is the most important illusion, the main trick of Western democracy especially…. The rejection of this illusion in favor of the reality that everything is predestined will allow society to reflect first on our vision of democratic development," Surkov wrote. "Foreign politicians talk about Russia's interference in elections and referendums around the world. In fact, the matter is even more serious: Russia interferes in your brains, we change your conscience, and there is nothing you can do about it."

OBL claimed responsibility for 9/11. Doing so, made him more loved/powerful/influencial. Surkov living in your brain rent free is because you want him to.
