The US must be aware of and avoid Russian disinformation operations at all costs if it wants to maintain its Western values and help Ukraine win the war, conflict analysts argue.
"Basic facts are in question daily as the Kremlin floods the Western debate with its narratives," analysts at the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War said in a March 27 report.
The analysts said that "the notion that the war is unwinnable because of Russia's dominance is a Russian information operation, which gives us a glimpse of the Kremlin's real strategy and only real hope of success."
For years, Russia has manipulated information enough to cause other countries to perceive Russia as a dominant force in Europe and, more recently, that it is winning in Ukraine.
Because Russia needs to sideline Ukraine's Western partners, the US in particular, the ISW analysts wrote, "the Russian strategy that matters most, therefore, is not Moscow's warfighting strategy, but rather the Kremlin's strategy to cause us to see the world as it wishes us to see it and make decisions in that Kremlin-generated alternative reality that will allow Russia to win in the real world."
ISW asserts that the Kremlin is pushing the narrative that "supporting Ukraine is a distraction from 'real' US problems" and is simply not worth the effort, and it's having an effect. Conflict fatigue has become a serious issue in the West, especially the US as support funding for Ukraine's war effort has been held up and unable to pass in Congress for months.

You just nailed it. That is exactly what this stupid piece is about.
The knuckleheads running this country really think that.
Yes, 36% don’t and the rest like our support or want it increased.
The same numbers as for the Jews fighting Hamas
You’re a big,big old man you are Chad.
Lookin’ down your nose at fellow posters.
School bus?
Chad Is Always Right!
Why don’t you do that big old man smug attitude of yours a solid and go find your own fellow “travellers”.
Obviously we here on Free Republic are too juvenile for Chad C.
Like gag me with as spoon bro.
“And it’s hip deep here on FR. Half a dozen or so obvious Russian “influencers”, another dozen simple fellow travelers, and a schoolbus load of adolescent sh[]tposters. What must it be like on major social media? Probable enough to gag a maggot.”
Says who, the Biden misadministration and the press?
The same press saying that they have to control the narrative?
I said “the rest” but I meant to say 62% like our support or want it increased, “the rest’ would be 64%.
LOL, I guess we will have to wait for the Kremlin to tell you what is what when it comes to American polling.
The same media that told us in 2916 that Hillary has it in the bag due to their polling?
“Conflict ANALysts” = Kagan Klux Klan = Inbred NeoCons.
Since polling doesn’t exist in your world, you shouldn’t even be discussing what percentage of Americans back the American position in regard to Russia’s invasion

If you do a search for Aaron Joshua Live at the Garden Tomb, you will see lots of songs by him. Enjoy 🙂👍
I’m not the one whose premise is that polling is never wrong or purposely manipulated or that the media isn’t lying this time.
I sent you another one, had to find it. Well, I’m catching up. Had to see if I could tie you, since you had unofficially thrown down the gauntlet. 🙂👍
These are the Israel First Satanists that destroyed American power and influence.
Lol!
I haven’t seen anyone posting that premise on this thread or even on FR.
You seem to want to argue about thin air, why don’t you share your personal fantasy polling that is in your imagination?
I wonder what “Western values” the authors of this slop had in mind when they wrote this joke of an article.

Really?
You have not seen anyone insisting that our media is being honest with polling?
Is the support enough for Ukraine to survive? To prevail?
