PROPAGANDA

Just as a matter of art, the Russian use of the internet, RTV, paid newsgroup and chat room propagandists, denial of service attacks, edited and manipulated video and photographs, paying local insurgents to cause chaos and destruction, bribing poorly paid police to stay home, while issuing perfect-pitch propaganda from bench, has got to be the most innovative form of warfare that I have seen in my lifetime.

I mean, the whole international islamist militia is pretty good. But they have nothing on Russia.

The only alternative to this kind of warfare is the anglo-swiss military model, which trains every single man, gives him a rifle, and makes him stay and capable through his 40’s.

I mean. As someone who appreciates good propaganda and ideology, marketing and strategy, I have to say that its pretty impressive, low cost way of conducting war.

Everyone who hasn’t read Keegan’s History of Warfare should: war is conducted and won by the criteria set by the culture. The west uses truth and immediate conflict for immediate resolution. China uses precisely the opposite: deception and delay. Russia has chosen the middle ground of deception and steady progress.

When we come for Washington DC it will be on such terms.
