Ex-CIA officer, Wiswesser: The greatest danger to the West from Russian intelligence, by far, is active measures, information warfare.
They're very good at it. First major awareness of this in the West came with 2016 election in United States.
So, what was their goal in 2016 election in United States? It wasn't fundamentally for or against any individual candidate.
Russians themselves didn't know who was going to win election. At one point, they thought Trump was going to lose.
They had no idea. What they fundamentally wanted to do was undermine democracy itself.
This is what they did with Brexit in UK at the exact same time. They were attacking Brexit.
They were attacking the legitimacy of the entire Brexit vote. That's what Russians are after.
That's much bigger target in their hierarchy of goals, what they're trying to accomplish as predators targeting West.
They're not after the small game. They're not trying to just influence this or that issue or candidate.
Let me give evidence of what I'm talking about, and a lot of lessons we should have learned have been lost from it.
Facebook itself found in their investigation that Russian social media trolling was arguing both sides of critical issues.
Emotional issues for American people in 2016 and again in 2020, they were doing the same thing.
They target abortion, they target LGBTQ issues, they target Black Lives Matter. It doesn't matter for them.
Russian intelligence agencies aren't concerned about where Russia will benefit on those issues.
They just want Americans to fight one another politically. They're doing it in UK, Europe, Hungary, trying to influence elections.
There's entire directorate of SVR, their foreign intelligence, thousands of people devoted towards information warfare.
@UiiBai Кое? Бумът от коментари с цел дестабилизиране на обществото? Не е феномен. Това е изтъркан номер, но всяка "морална паника" ще се лови на тази стръв, докато не премахнем източника на вмешателството.
Моето мнение е, че огромна част от коментарите са генерирани от специализиран ИИ.
@VenelinMolnar@PlamenYakimov Парите ги плащат ония с рекламите, дето не стават дори за слушане, камо ли за гледане. А в БГ е пълно с малоумни пенсионери и безработни, които киснат при ТВтата и са основна сила на изборите. Съответно пропагандата бичи по цял ден по специално подготвена за това програма.
Плашат гаргите демонстративно. Когато минем в "кинетичната фаза", няма да има такива шегички. Ако зависеше от мен, тези щяха да "загинат при оказване на съпротива за задържане" и да приключа със "съболезнования за близките". Това като подход може да реши коренно проблема.
BREAKING:
Swedish police arrest 2 Russians running around with a walkie-talkies in a forest in front of a home where the CEO of Saab, Micael Johansson was staying.
The Russians also rang on the door of the home. Saab produces Jas-39 Gripen jets & other weapons used by Ukraine
Напомням на @DemerdzhievIvan, че нацистката пропагандна книга на Ален Симоенов, подстрекаваща към омраза и насилие и представяща идеологията на руския нацист Максим Марцинкевич - Тесак, продължава да се продава на сайта му 💡

Russia’s newest $500 million anti-drone system has finally been leaked. Meet the S-Stick 5000. Stealth, eco-friendly, and requires zero batteries. NATO is shivering right now. 😂🪵🚀

@obektiv Защото следенето иска усилие, а милиционер не се става, за да се гърбиш с бачкане. Те, затова. Има и малка вероятност да са били с политическа протекция, но преди всичко тоталният мързел е определил посоката на развитие на случая. Политическите чадъри са резерве за големците.
@ribarskyD Коя "гилдия"?

Нито те, нито никой е мъцнал. Членуването в тези структури не е като при архитектите задължително условие за практикуване. Няма да има порицания, нито наказания от "гилдията".
How did that happen? A car crashed into a plane at Milan airport
A private jet was taxiing toward the runway when a service vehicle drove into its path. The driver plowed straight into the aircraft at full speed, causing the jet to spin around on impact.
No one was injured.
Trump is going all-in on supporting AI data centers, calling them "LIQUID GOLD" and "WINS for the Communities lucky enough to get them."
He's out of his mind — and out of touch with the growing number of Americans who oppose data center construction.
@nikcname Една мегафабрика - "всички яйца в една кошница". За 0 време може да бъде саботирана и да спре в най-критичния момент. Но това на "най-умния" няма как да му стане ясно преди да стане на всички ясно. Както и да е, това е само картинка и такова ще си остане.
@BoidarIvanov1 Аз не коментирам в поста си "програмата", а самата илюзия за многобройност на някаква тълпа от реални зомбита, които са уж готови да се бият "за каузата", каквато и да е тя. Бой може да има наистина, но той ще е само заради типичната психология на тълпата, а не за идеали.
