Can you please give me even the slightest hint of what you don't comprehend and understand?

  1. Do you know Russia is a nation on the planet Earth?

  2. Do you know "Kremlin" is like the "White House" of the Russian government?

  3. Do you know what "Heart and Mind" means in military strategy? "Winning hearts and minds is a concept occasionally expressed in the resolution of war, insurgency, and other conflicts, in which one side seeks to prevail not by the use of superior force, but by making emotional or intellectual appeals to sway supporters of the other side."

Can we start there?

  1. Where is "planet earth?"
  2. I've seen Kremlin's and it's a great movie. Just don't feed your mogwai after midnight or get it wet, and you don't have to deal with kremlins.
  3. Aim for the heart and mind, obviously. Quicker kill.

"?", a single Unicode character, is the easiest technique on Lemmy electric media systems.

 

"The first example of electronic countermeasures being applied in a combat situation took place during the Russo-Japanese war. On July 13, 1904, Russian wireless telegraphy stations installed in the Port Arthur fortress and on board Russian light cruisers successfully interrupted wireless communication between a group of Japanese battleships. The spark-gap transmitters in the Russian stations generated senseless noise while the Japanese were making attempts to coordinate their efforts in the bombing of a Russian naval base."

“If all information is seen as part of a war, out go any dreams of a global information space where ideas flow freely, bolstering deliberative democracy. Instead, the best future one can hope for is an ‘information peace’, in which each side respects the other’s ‘information sovereignty’: a favoured concept of both Beijing and Moscow, and essentially a cover for enforcing censorship.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality, 2019

Russian light cruisers

Psh now I know youre full of it. The Russians can't travel on light

That's some sci-fi nonsense.

That’s some sci-fi nonsense.

All things are science fiction, haven't you heard? It's a battle of metaphors and words.

"Speak to me of summer, long winters, longer than time can remember, The setting up of other roads to travel on in old accustomed ways. I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughters that Knew the knowledge of the land, that spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways." - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=886Wxionims
