Russian Information War - An incredible Document
Russia influences elections in Germany and distorts the public debate.
Two experts warn against covert influence.
The government reacts too cautiously to the threat.
Russian President Putin tries to destabilize Germany.
The Russian army is attacking Ukraine, but the Kremlin regime is also active against Germany.
Russia directs an information war, Germany is exposed to Russian campaigns with unprecedented intensity.
How does the Kremlin manipulate public opinion on social networks with a budget worth billions?
Why is Germany
'target number one'
in Russiaβs information war?
And what should be done now?

Freytag-Loringhoven is a former top diplomat and vice president of the Federal Intelligence Service.
Leon Erlenhorst is a propaganda expert.
They just published the book
"Putinβs Attack on Germany"
.

It's about hybrid threats, disinformation, propaganda and cyberattacks. Germany is in Putin's crosshairs.
Putin wants to influence public opinion in Germany and prevent productive social discourse. In addition, the measures are intended to fuel mistrust in politics, the state and the traditional media. This is also linked to specific goals, such as the loss of solidarity between the German population and Ukraine and the strengthening of extremist forces.
β¦.
β¦.
Certain pro-Russian conspiracy myths apparently entangle in German society. An example of this is the claim that NATO provoked Russia until Russia had to go to war. One year after Russia's full invasion of Ukraine in 2022, approval of this statement has increased by 10% in Germany - without any evidence of this in reality.
β¦.
β¦.
At the beginning of 2024 the Foreign Office exposed a network of more than 50,000 fake accounts on X.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦.
Branches of the same network are still active, especially with elections approaching this year.
β¦.

The information war is centrally controlled by the Kremlin. Specifications are made there.
For example, that the Republicans in the USA must be dissuaded from providing arms aid to Ukraine, or that the Ukrainian people's trust in their President Zelenskyj should decrease. In mid-2022, Putin's chief propagandist Sergei Kiriyenko gave the order to increase the number of Germans who are in favour of improving relations between Germany and Russia by 10%.
These goals are set politically, and then staffs in the Kremlin further develop them.
Russian commercial companies or the secret services take over the implementation of the requirements.
The entire range of hybrid warfare is accessed. Cyberattacks, propaganda with true and untrue messages, troll farms, bot networks, funding of journalists or influencers and so on.
We've a three-page
"manifesto"
how to strengthen the AfD (right-wing party).
It's an incredible document, evidence of attempted influence by a foreign power.
The
"manifesto"
is a detailed propaganda strategy for a takeover of power in Germany by the AfD.
We see how far the attempts in Russia go and how people in the Kremlin think.
β¦.
β¦.
The government is afraid of an escalation and of being drawn into a war with Russia.
This hesitation can make war more likely. Putin exploits weakness, as we've seen enough.
Russia now wants to further weaken the West and Germany is perceived as a weak spot and a gateway.
β¦.
β¦.
Freedom of opinion shouldn't be restricted under any circumstances.
The state must approach the phenomenon differently. If professionalized disinformation amplifies on social media and spreads millions of times, the platforms must stop it.
The Digital Service Act provides a basis for this.
"Freedom of Speech"
but not
"Freedom of Reach"

An effective measure would also be to get rid of our corru*β¦errβ¦socialist Chancellor Scholz.
Through democratic elections! (not by assasination)
The next German federal election is in 2025.
Social networks in the USA are influenced in exactly the same way.
Please think carefully about who you vote for in November.

β¦my favourite right-wing extremist, no joke.
I know that you love your country (not the USA).
So please think again with whom you conspire against your country. -

This is out of control in the United States as well. Half the country has fallen for Putin's propaganda. I have people in my own family who will passionately defend Russia. They think everyone else is the bad guy, and Putin, the guy who started the war and who murders his own citizens who don't agree with gim, is the good guy.

Yah, same here, as described in the article.
What actually dismays me most is, how easily some people believe such trash.
The correct info is there, you don't even have to read for long.
But many prefer to believe what
Bottle123
tells them. β»
Propaganda at its best. -

I don't get it. Israel fake missile bombed its fields and now is going to retaliate against that supposed attack by killing thousands of innocent Iranians in their cities.
Of course China and Russia are going to get involved. -
