Putin Is Winning Russia’s Hybrid War Against America
www.heritage.org
While conventional military conflicts between large powers appear to be out of fashion—along with formal declarations of war—Russia has been waging a silent, “hybrid war” against the U.S. for years. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s goal: to influence American minds.

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.

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.

    Bloomcole: Nothing gives me more pleasure than that pure evil country destroying itself. A gift to the world.

    I’m talking about the US banana republic not Palestine. blocking you now, you’re unhinged and all over the place.

    You are cheering on the failure of the United States of America, “country destroying itself” and you think I’m unhinged?

     

    blocking you now

    I call this information warfare tactic “Mock You, Block You”. A turd little dumb-ass comment is made in reply to serious topics, and then the person proclaims THEY are blocking you. When they are the person with the turd little comments in the first place. This is MY posting on Lemmy. All you have done is say dumb shit. You just want the conversation to be a total mockery, which is what the entire USA is in year 2025, a total mockery.

    Russia-watcher Catherine Fitzpatrick, who documents Kremlin disinformation for InterpreterMag . com, says just as Moscow uses vague Internet laws to encourage self-censorship, trolls inhibit informed debate by using crude dialogue to change “the climate of discussion.” “If you show up at The Washington Post or New Republic sites, where there’s an article that’s critical of Russia, and you see that there are 200 comments that sound like they were written by 12-year-olds, then you just don’t bother to comment,” she says. “You don’t participate. It’s a way of just driving discussion away completely,” she adds. “Those kinds of tactics are meant to stop democratic debate, and they work.” - year 2014
