Glad to learn our intelligence services have infiltrated the Russian one.
Our people seem to have had access to their conversations about assassination methods beforehand, or at least it was contained within their data store.
They plainly also knew Russia was experimenting with nerve agents as the means of delivery, which suggests they have infiltrated the Russian chemical weapons programme.
And they were able to spot the Russian bot response as soon as it began, and once exposed, its power was much diminished.
And so they were able to catch Vlad red-handed and respond swiftly.
If you want to see the information war first-hand, pick a newspaper, read the reader responses and see how Putin's agents spread misinformation in their interpretation of the articles. You begin to realise what sort of techniques they are using.
English newspapers, which once saw one way traffic in the commentary from Putin's people, are now beginning to show the English response. I hope we see a lot more of this. So that the unfortunate folks who are susceptible through manipulation to distrust of reliable sources realise they are being misled. Maybe then the sharing of information from the nonsense factory will end.
I guess we will have to outflood the Russians with positive interpretations until they realise their methods no longer work.
