The (Ukraine) war in our minds

by Save the civilians
How 'they' try to manipulate our minds
The war in our minds https://t.me/internationalreporters/48214 , 12.1.2024 Who attacked this ambulance? O the Russian army O the Ukrainian army If you have ticked 'Russian army': O the Russian army will stop at nothing O I see news about Russian war crimes every day O that was a mistake, something like that cannot be avoided in war If you ticked the 'Ukrainian army' box: O the Ukrainian army will stop at nothing O I see news about Ukrainian war crimes every day O that was a mistake, something like that cannot be avoided in war The solution to the riddle: Ukrainian shelling of an ambulance in Gorlovka, eastern Ukraine. However, the photo did not appear in Western newspapers. Conversely, Russian attacks on ambulances do not appear in Russian media. You may be a victim of cognitive/psychological warfare. There are 60,000 people working on this in the Pentagon, a double-digit number in the EU (East StratCom Task Force), 1,500 in the British Army and 1,000 in the Bundeswehr. Their goal: “... to exploit the weaknesses of human nature in order to better reach the minds of individuals ...” (André Lanata (2022). Preface - By the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation. In: Claverie, Bernard; Prébot, Baptiste; Buchler, Norbou & Du Cluzel, François (eds.), Cognitive Warfare: The Future of Cognitive Dominance. NATO-STO Collaboration Support Office, 2022 (pp.14-15), p.14) “Historically, the term “cognitive warfare” has been referred to as the use of the means of action that a state or an influential group makes in order to manipulate the spontaneous mechanisms of the cognition of an enemy or its people, in order to weaken, penetrate, influence, or even subdue or destroy them.” (Francois du Cluzel, Cognitive Warfare, a Battle for the Brain, ACT, Norfolk, Virginia, 2022, p. 5, at: https://www.sto.nato.int/publications/STO%20Meeting%20Proceedings/STO-MP-HFM-334/$MP-HFM-334-KN3.pdf , p.2) The end justifies the means (half-truths, labeling and demonizing critics, pressure from an alleged majority, triggering fear, hammering in misinformation and many more).
