The key to the kind of 4th Generation warfare that the Russians has been waging against the West since 2014 is to keep things under the radar of the low-information average Western citizen. But with the War in the Ukraine going badly and defeat increasingly staring the Kremlin in the face, the Putin regime is being forced increasingly to show its hand and the dirty tricks it uses to attempt to divide and demoralise the West.
The latest example of this Neo-Soviet skullduggery has been revealed by the German Foreign Office which has pointed to a network of more than 50,000 fake accounts on X, posting as many as 200,000 posts a day seeking to chip away at the natural German resolve to lend assistance to a peaceful neighbour under attack.
As reported by the Financial Times:
"Russian disinformation campaigns to undermine support for Ukraine in Europe have grown significantly in scale, skill and stealth, one of Germany’s most senior diplomats has warned.'It is absolutely a threat we have to take seriously,' Ralf Beste, head of the department for culture and communication at Germany’s Federal Foreign Office, told the Financial Times. 'Overall, [there] is an increase in sophistication and impact to what we have seen before. There is probably a lot going on we can’t even see. More and more conversations are happening in private . . . channels on Telegram and WhatsApp. It is very difficult to understand what is happening there.'"
But despite the murkiness that the Muscovites are engaged in, the West is increasingly able to expose it:
The aim of the Neo-Soviet ops is to slowly poison debate with false fears, fake news, and empty hopes:
"Beste’s department has a dedicated cell that leads the German government’s efforts to track and stop Russia’s information operations overseas.
Germany has emerged as one of the Kremlin’s main targets for disinformation over the war in Ukraine. Under the government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Berlin has dramatically revised its security and defence policy and become the second-largest donor of military aid to Kyiv after Washington."
The aim of the Neo-Soviet ops is to slowly poison debate with false fears, fake news, and empty hopes:
"Beste said: '[The Russians] are looking for cracks of doubt or feelings of unease and trying to enlarge them.'
His department this year uncovered one of the biggest attempts to manipulate German public opinion yet, on the social media platform X.
A network of more than 50,000 fake accounts posting as many as 200,000 posts a day sought to convince Germans that the government’s help for Ukraine was undermining German prosperity and risking nuclear war.
The network sought to 'launder' such claims by making them look as if they had been published as opinions in reputable news outlets such as Der Spiegel and Süddeutsche Zeitung. But it also simply sought to amplify existing anti-Ukrainian views and make them appear to be more widespread."
As long argued by sites like Neokrat, the Russians have an extensive history of using lies and deceit to bolster the feeble attempts of their bloated military. This goes all the way back through Soviet times to the Tsarist Empire and its promotion of anti-Semitic garbage like the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion." In fact, contemporary Kremlin ops constantly attempts to build on the foundations of those earlier lies.
You are a man of common sense Mr Liddel. I find it repulsive that a large majority of people who are supposedly ethnic nationalists in our little island of Briton and in Europe are so easy swayed by Kremlin based Eurasian propaganda.
ReplyDeleteYou only have to read the comment section of the vile krem-tard Unz review to see the genocidal levels of Russian backed actual hatred towards Europeans and specifically what they called Anglos, or the English, of how destructive and malicious they really are.
