Russian Info, Cyber and Disinformation (Catch all till 2017)

[OUTLAW 09]

Moderators, I don't understand why you closed the "Ukraine" thread. There is going on war that should be covered by this site. Am I wrong? I have to find now excuse to post this information here. SBU continues their infowar effort posting intercepted call between cossacks in Donetsk and in their leader in Russia. Leader coordinates cossacks activities in Ukraine and arranges border crossing for resupply, enforcements etc. He deals with kidnapped OSCE observers problem. Film makers have added also Putin's comments about cossacks organisation and their tasks in general.

kaur---moderators closed the thread because of my disputes with mirhond which if the moderators have noticed has not moved to another SWJ thread as he was anyway part of the infowar efforts by the Russians. Somehow they took offense at me calling mirhond a Russian fascist and apparently they did not understand just how the term Russian fascist is even defined in Russia nor how the Russian themselves use the term.

Americans as a whole have problems with terms like fascists, nationalism, or imperialism.

Why he picked SWJ is interesting but that the moderators even tolerated him is even more interesting to me.

The video is critical--- as you know the Cossack was initially being seen by you and myself and yet mirhond tried to sidestep his beard photo being seen back in 2008.

The war has shifted and you are right ---shifted now to a irregular guerrilla war with Russia flowing weapons and irregulars into the Ukraine daily.

Russia prides itself in protecting it's borders but somehow cannot "see" KAMAZs painted in Russian military green in convoys of 10 or more?

The video does in fact counter the Russian infowar statements being carried daily by Interfax and TASS and Putin in his French TV interview yesterday---he "claimed" no Russian military/security forces in the Ukraine---notice he did not say a word about Russian citizen "irregulars" carrying Russian passports with Russian exit border stamps in their passports.

This is being reported in the last several hours ago out of the Ukraine---so much for Russian Interfax/TASS/Putin statements that they are not "assisting" the irregulars as one attack is coming from the Russian border crossing point itself.

"The border crossing “Marinivka” is attacked from two sides. Fierce battle continues"



This Russian infowar campaign is in direct support to their new UW strategy called New Generation Warfare and you are right one would think it is important enough to fully understand as we will be seeing more of it in the coming years.
