In my view, those who believe in the Truth don't need to engage with lies or liars, propaganda and propagandists respectively. Also in my view, Russia and China do not engage in or are less engaged in this so called 'war'. Looking at the Ukraine and Palestine, one of the leading efforts by the adversary is in propaganda, and it is their weak point, not a strength. They come off as liars and desperate.
That said, I think it is worth looking at this area to see where we need to put our efforts and to improve.
Excellent writing, bravo! Brian Berletic at The New Atlas mentions how a sovereign country’s “information space” can be easily infiltrated (pick your platform) and young minds can be induced to follow the path of least resistance and be pulled into the western orbit and its flashy sexy narratives. In other words, and as you have written so clearly, war has many faces. I continue to learn, I have a very long way to go, your insights are extremely valuable, thanks!
the upside and downside of propaganda, is you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all the people, all the time!! the problem with propaganda is you can't win a war with propaganda.. it is indeed done on the battlefield, as we see with russia in ukraine... if we are to believe the propaganda, it is always described as russia is losing, running out of bombs and etc. etc.. at some point more people realize what bs all of this is... so that is the real downside to the propaganda - at some point it just doesn't work..

Not only that, but you start believing in your own propaganda and lies!
