Stephen Douglas - Russia Mythical Falsehoods Have Fooled Foreign Policy Professionals & Politicians.

For more than a decade Russia has pumped poison into the bloodstream of our civilisation, in the form of hypnotic lies and myths, that Stephen Douglas calls Disinfolklore. These human-crafted, mythical falsehoods are a form of simplistic, yet impactful fairytale nonsense. They have fooled many foreign policy professionals, politicians, diplomats, as well as lay people, into repeating patently absurd, yet endlessly recycled bogus Russian narratives. There is a strategic purpose behind the contemporary Russian Disinfolklore, says Stephen, to prevent allies coming to the aid of Ukraine, to provide what it needs, and enforce its inherent right to self-defence. ---------- ABOUT: Stephen Douglas is a self-described expert in combat propaganda (is a former diplomat), and creator of Decoding Trolls and Disinfolklore. The latter has been described in a Byline Times review as a “brilliant new analytical method to parse and counter disinformation”. ---------- LINKS: ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas UNBROKEN - Treatment.
