Hybrid War Lost

NATO / USA lost the Hybrid War that was launched in March 2013 against the World Wide Web.

  1. Kremlin brags that only 1% of the manipulation Hybrid War content has been discovered and removed. NATO has entirely been unable to defend, 99% flies under the defense radar of Five Eyes (FVEY).

  2. Russian military was able to completely get past USA FBI, CIA, NSA, and whatever else the Pentagon has. Competely unable to defend the population against Russian Hybrid Warfare. "For years, AIVD had access to the infamous Russian hacker group Cozy Bear. That's what de Volkskrant and Nieuwsuur have uncovered in their investigation." "the Dutch intelligence agency AIVD penetrated the computer network of a university adjacent to Red Square back in 2014, only to later realize they had tapped into APT29, aka Cozy Bear, one of the Russian government-affiliated organizations that penetrated the DNC and targeted other US government departments". "It was Dutch intelligence operatives that hacked into some of Russia's own institutions -- including their closed-circuit television cameras."

  3. Putin and Surkov's "Operation Matthew 4:19" global manipulation of everyday people included turning social media consumers into Russian assets of the Hybrid Warfare who deliberately spread measles and COVID-19 virus during the pandemic. Johns Hopkins University and George Washington University validated evidence going back to year 2014.

  4. Absolutely no defense has been found against this Hybrid Warfare since it was unleashed in March 2013. "At the NATO summit in Wales last week, General Philip Breedlove, the military alliance’s top commander, made a bold declaration. Russia, he said, is waging “the most amazing information warfare blitzkrieg we have ever seen in the history of information warfare.” It was something of an underestimation. The new Russia doesn’t just deal in the petty disinformation, forgeries, lies, leaks, and cyber-sabotage usually associated with information warfare. It reinvents reality, creating mass hallucinations"

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.

Let's go over that one more time:

"Putin is clearly winning Russia’s hybrid war against the U.S. because Americans don’t understand how they are being manipulated." - December 11, 2020

You know what happened less than one month after that statement was made by an establishment conservative think-tank declaring that Americans don't get the Internet and the mob mentality that Russia is inducing via hybrid warfare? On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., was attacked by a mob of supporters of President Donald Trump in an attempted self-coup, two months after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. They sought to keep him in power by preventing a joint session of Congress from counting the Electoral College votes to formalize the victory of the president-elect Joe Biden. The attack was unsuccessful in preventing the certification of the election results.

 

USA doesn't get how the "Internet Research Agency" and Surkov tactics work at all... from the linked article: "Russia has been waging a silent, “hybrid war” against the U.S. for years. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s goal: to influence American minds." - December 11, 2020
