One of our most useful talking points is "we would never do that." We've lost a lot of the moral high ground in both cases.

The reason I am so concerned with Russian Influence Ops is that they have been spectacularly successful at achieving their goals. Even now.

I know that is what people allege, without much evidence. In any case, tho, that's part of my point, US is particularly vulnerable here.

Open democracies are by far the most vulnerable to influence through the injection of propaganda.
