So let me ask this, the Ukraine conflict has truely become a hybrid war. We see augmented consumer drones in use (dji), we see information warfare (propaganda and misinformation) with both kenetic and non kenetic warfare occurring in a regular basis. My question is around targeting... Have we seen a change in warfare that businesses have become part of the target package for a modern conflict? Thoughts? #cyberwar #UkraineWar #hybridwarfare

Ahh I see #Russia played the old #hybridWarfare to confuse everyone with some #nonLinearWarfare

@georgetakei

These absurdity spectacles are information warfare.

They serve to capture our attention and exhaust our limited mental energy.

They are designed to do so.

They are analogous to those shiny silvery tumbly fishing lures that anglers use, the ones that fish irresistibly feel they must chomp.

And I believe we little fishies would be better off naming the danger clearly, and then turning away.

Bulgaria faces ‘unprecedented increase’ in Russian hybrid attacks

The increase aimed at undermining #Bulgaria's stability & thereby (its) democratic values and processes

Russian attacks energy & food supplies, cyber activities control over sensitive technologies, unprecedented strengthening of propaganda aimed at internal political destabilization

“Imagine you were a veteran psychological warfare specialist on a mission to topple the government of the United States for an enemy foreign power.

To accomplish the mission you would have to commit a lot of crimes, including literal Treason.”🧵

Jim Stewartson: “The introduction of 400M handheld machines capable of killing numerous people into a population of 300M has nothing whatsoever to do with freedom or the Constitution.

Blood-sucking American oligarchs conspired with the Kremlin to create a gun cult fueled by white grievance.”

“There has been a multi-pronged operation to warp the meaning of the #2ndAmendment into a bizarre parody of the actual words.

Here’s literal Kremlin spy Maria Butina last week gleefully describing how she infiltrated the @NRA.

They want us to murder each other. It’s that simple.”

"The development of these secret programs speaks to the paranoia at the heart of Russia’s leadership. It is terrified of street protests and revolution of the kind seen in Ukraine, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Moscow regards the internet as a crucial weapon in maintaining order. At home, Putin has eliminated his opponents. Dissidents have been locked up; critics such as Alexei Navalny poisoned and jailed."

Luke Harding.

John Hultquist, the vice-president of intelligence analysis at the cybersecurity firm Mandiant, which reviewed selections of the material at the request of the consortium, said: “These documents suggest that Russia sees attacks on civilian critical infrastructure and social media manipulation as one and the same mission, which is essentially an attack on the enemy’s will to fight.”

"Imminent military danger against Moldova currently doesn't exist, but there are other types of dangers that affect the country's security — hybrid warfare."

"The greatest challenge right now is a set of provocations that the Russian Federation is trying to use to destabilize the situation."

I was in a meeting earlier, where the (fairly common in Germany) occurrence of a controlled detonation of #WWII munitions led to chat about #Nordstream + the #NordstreamExplosions.

There are some interesting ideas out there (verging on #ConspiracyTheories), which is partly why I think @anderspuck 's very thoughtful video on #HybridWarfare is so important + interesting.

Worth a watch on #Ukraine #Russia + how to handle it.

☝️ #mustread: All these various criminal projects aimed at destroying societies by destroying *trust* in them...

>> "...a systemic battle between autocratic and democratic countries"
...
"The effort was worth it for the cyber-mercenaries. Manipulating the truth has grown into a multi-billion-dollar business in which, according to experts, hundreds of service providers are active around the world alongside state actors."
...
"We provide tailor made services," Meidan says. Everywhere where governments are wobbling, where things could really explode if elections were to get out of hand. All the client has to do is define their goals or targets, and Team Jorge designs a suitable strategy and deploys the necessary resources and people, he says - veterans of intelligence and military services, specialists in psychological warfare, financial experts.
...
The fact that the leaders of Team Jorge were themselves formerly in the service of a democratically elected governments doesn't seem to bother them. There are only three rules at Team Jorge, emphasizes Nick: No assignments can be accepted in Israel or the United States, at least not in politics. And going up against Putin is off limits. <<

Hostile #dictatorships need to be kept the hell out of "Free World townsquares" and all these sociopathic agents of manipulation given the full "crimes against humanity" treatment.

With all its warts, the modern civilization we're currently experiencing —esp. in open-minded and tolerant democracies — is the result of endless efforts of people trying to improve things in our societies, not sowing chaos and distrust in them.

And some #psychopaths go and make a *business* out of destroying our *civil* societies?

All these people are still walking free and enjoying the fruits of their crimes... Every single one.
