Just had a thought. The Western strategy of publishing credible intelligence leading up to the war, sharply limiting Russia’s ability to manage the narrative, is genuinely new, and would not have been possible in a pre-internet era. It also limits disinformation.

This is a sort of auditable, blockchainy war. It’s not just managed limited leaks plus grainy feature-phone photos fueling random FUD. Compared to the #iranelection or Arab spring era or even Syria or Afghanistan, this feels like near-perfect information. Lots of receipts.

Social media is a “proof of believability” generation space as a free-fall-all fuses multiple data sources to produce a rough consensus public-square narrative. Pre-internet you could have published, but not triggered proof-of-credibility discourses.

You seem unaware of the theory that a branch of the FSB told these things to the CIA in order to stop the invasion. Because they knew invasion would reveal they had pocketed billions in bribes for the UA army, so the UA army would not in fact roll over.
