#Russian #InformationOperations aren't primarily to help some party, but rather to sow discord amongst our own populations. Making clear that this is the work of Russia, and not your neighbors, is the first task.

Make no mistake though, Russia is targeting #Grüne because of their help to Ukraine.
German authorities revealed that hundreds of cars in German were sabotaged by a group of three men who operated for the Russian state. After damaging the cars they left messages pointing at the Green Party.

外包化:
中國的對外宣傳主要是透過外包的方式來進行。他們會把資訊作戰委託給位於東南亞的一些組織。
這種外包化(outsourcing of informationoperations)的模式使得他們能夠更靈活地進行輿論操控。
透過分析中國官方媒體以外的資訊可以識別這些外包鏈,其中潛在的外包對象包括專門企業、駭客、大學、國營企業和網紅等。
這些團體串聯形成中國輿論戰的生態系統。
在這個生態系中,不同角色的團體協作形成了一個有組織的、全面的資訊作戰系統。

The true measure of victory comes after conflict, shaped by military performance, diplomacy, credibility, ceasefire terms, and consistency in the strategic narrative.

Foreign influence can exploit existing divisions rather than change opinions. A divided society has less focus on the strategic issues shaping its future.

Ich finde den Vortrag dann doch nicht mehr so passend. Nur den Russen einen Informationskrieg vorzuwerfen, greift zu kurz. Auch die NATO hat Abteilungen für Informationoperations. #np14 #npk18 /cc @netzpolitik
