Lastly, a more profound examination of the book's background and intentions, as well as the views of investigative journalists or experts on hybrid influence and Russian propaganda, would provide valuable analysis and interesting reading.

A section on "Case Studies" is a biased list of covert U.S. operations during the Cold War, crafted to portray its “Machiavellian approach to foreign policy”. The sole reference to Russian involvement, to put it mildly, is less critical: “Soviet troops invaded to help their Marxist allies in Kabul”.

A lurid claim was the framing of the war in Ukraine as a proxy war between "Nato's invisible hand and Kremlin's shadow" where "The crisis in Ukraine isn't just a local skirmish over land or identity. It's a chess match between the West and Russia, with local forces and volunteers moving the pieces".

The book is constructed by combining facts, allegations, partial truths and deliberate lies to create a biased and distorted picture of reality. This suggests a sinister motive at play, creating confusion and doubt, presumably orchestrated by a state-level actor with malign intentions.

As would be expected, the author, B.K. Chaaraoui, is a pseudonym. I couldn't find any information about the author or any other contributions by him. The book also appears to be written by an AI judged by to the constant repetition (of clumsy metaphors) and internal contradictions.

I want to stress that as individuals we are all free to express our own views, no matter how weak the arguments. But when the only coherent theme of a non-fiction book is to fuel suspicion of existing institutions and democracy, it begins to resemble a stereotypical Kremlin propaganda.

Book is a textbook example of Russian hybrid influence, yet available on several audiobook platforms in informational categories like social sciences, politics and international relations. However, it does not even attempt to give a truthful picture of global politics in any of these categories.

Kurkaan mun seurattavat lista. Oon yrittäny kerätä turpo sisältöä tuottavaa porukaa seurattavaksi, fokus Osint, ydinaseet, voimapolitiikka ja Ukraina.
Ja saa tietty antaa vinkkejä seuraamisen arvoisista kohteista..

Miksi valtionjohto jättää kaikki elektroniset laitteet turvahuoneen ulkopuolelle kun asialista on salainen ja TikTokin asentaminen on toisilta kokonaan kielletty?

Tarkoitin siis datalla juuri tuota visualisointia, näyttää kuvan perusteella 3D mallinnukselta ja sitä olisi kiinnostavaa päästä pyörittelemään eri kulmista ja korkeuksista.

Onko tähän dataan olemassa linkkiä? On tyylikäs ja selkeä esitys ja haluaisi päästä tutkimaan vielä tarkemmin.
