PhilosipherStoned Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I doubt he's going to take the time to explain psychological warfare to you.... What has you curious about it? Do you have a question about the history of Russian psychological warfare specifically or psychological warfare in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Just now, ghostrek said: What is the best defense against psychological warfare That is a good question I guess. A sound mind? The term psychological warfare can refer to a wide range of warfighting tactics, and what might be a good answer for one tactic might not help you at all in not falling victim to another. Based on the video in your OP however, you seem to have Russia's propaganda machine in mind. When it comes to propaganda especially the wartime/political variety you need to be able to identify key features or "tells" of the author and any biases they may have... Why do I feel like I'm pissing in the wind already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do I feel like I'm pissing in the wind already? @PhilosipherStoned look one tactic doesn't always work against all threats no matter what form of warfare one is utilizing including psychological warfare Nope not really I have actually read up on the subject a little bit a little bit more focused in the World War II variety of psychological warfare and propaganda but yes I'm aware of the situation and there is tails I have noticed this. Wanted to tell is Russian propaganda always goes into conspiracy theory territory especially when it's targeted to the west. The bio lab story for example or the Ukrainian forces are made up of mostly neo-Nazis And other stories like that. Well yeah but go back to your first . But down I have noticed a lot of people I know buy into the Russian narrative which is frankly questionable. Frankly the Russian propaganda narrative is so shitty if it was given to Hollywood it would be ending up as an MST3K episode Edited June 6, 2023 by ghostrek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unit 731...A Japanese special unit more noted in sociopolitical spheres for it's chemical and bioligical efforts than psychological, but it's still on topic if you ask me.
