… this is not the first war to involve propaganda,false reports, etc.

Yes, but always before deception had been used as a force multiplier, not as a strategic asset. The closest prior example was Patton's ghost army which caused the Nazis to hold forces in reserve to defend against the "real" invasion in Calais. The difference is that the prior deception required physical assets (plywood admittedly) while this is pure information...all electronically.

You want us to be sure before we believe or report something.

I want people to be extremely skeptical. The default position should be incredulity not gullibility.

We do not have that capability.

Frankly, I think better of my fellow FReepers than that
