VINSKI, Estonia (AP) — Estonia is extending a fence along its border with Russia and building anti-tank ditches and bunkers in preparation for a potential conflict with Moscow. But those defenses won’t guard against the threat it and its NATO allies face from Russian drones and electronic warfare.
It’s too late, Russia has already won the propaganda and disinformation war. The rise of militant far right groups across the democratic world are a direct result of the Russian “firehose of falsehood” that has effectively dismantled the ability of western states to fight dis and misinformation and now we’re seeing the results of that decades long campaign start to bear fruit with what’s going on in America and we’re soon likely to see an increasing number of governments come to power that echo the same model and weaken the democratic institutions across the world and divide formerly close allies.
