  • Correct. Senate report here, start around page 6: https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Report_Volume2.pdf

    Analysis of the behavior of the IRA-associated social media accounts makes dear that while the Russian information warfare campaign exploited the context of the election and election-related issues in 2016, the preponderance of the operational focus, as reflected repeatedly in content, account names, and audiences targeted, was on socially divisive issues-such as race, immigration, and Second Amendment rights-in an attempt to pit Americans against one another and against their government.

  • Once again flawed from the start.

    Unlike many legacy planes, the F-35 is built with access panels to allow technicians to more easily make adjustments. This makes changing out parts "a whole lot faster," said Tech. Sgt. Chard Wooldridge, an avionics technician.

    "For example, instead of taking off the entire nose assembly, it's just a compartment," Wooldridge said.

    Plus, the computer catches problems the human eye might miss, Wooldridge said.

    The jet's weapons are also easier to maintain than those on legacy platforms, said Master Sgt. Jason Buffell, the weapons section lead. The F-35's weapons delivery is "pneumatic," which means it fires projectiles by means of air pressure, instead of explosive. This saves man hours because the team doesn't have to spend time cleaning the weapons banks every day, Buffell said.

  • Ok yeah let's start a hot war.

  • Ok except the U.S. military industrial complex is the largest of all of human existence. Furthermore that entire article is based off of "who can shoot the most artillery" which is fundamentally flawed from the start.

  • The views expressed in this Commentary are the author’s, and do not represent those of RUSI or any other institution.

  • Do you use a wallpaper(Desktop background)?

  • Same. In the past I tried doing the whole wallpaper thing but it always became a distraction.

  • 17. Change the Subject ~ Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic. This works especially well with companions who can ‘argue’ with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid discussing more key issues.

  • Also, imagine thinking that Russian military uses unencrypted phone calls to communicate.

    Like this?

    "But that's not proof!"

    "Well that's just Ukrainians disgused as Russians"

    "Those Russians are a rogue group, not the real Russian Army!"

  • 25 Rules of Disinformation

    Sidetrack Opponents with Name-Calling and Ridicule ~ This is also known as the primary ‘attack the messenger’ ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as ‘kooks’, ‘right-wing’, ‘liberal’, ‘left-wing’, ‘terrorists’, ‘conspiracy buffs’, ‘radicals’, ‘militia’, ‘racists’, ‘religious fanatics’, ‘sexual deviates’, and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.
