Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Teaching when to trust

Any attempt to court martial a political critic for a factual statement is an outrage. But the way Kelly et al made their intervention not ideal & potentially dangerous. No good telling troops they can refuse illegal orders without explaining risks of doing so & complexities of judging lawfulness.

Here is Trump's full 28 point plan for Ukraine. It would destroy Ukraine as a sovereign state and leave it helpless to face a Russian attack in the future. It would also give Putin full vindication and immunity from prosecution.
