Russia is NOT Losing the Information War

I frequently see the claim that Russia is losing the information war in Ukraine. This idea is widely believed, even by people who support Russia, and even some Russians themselves. As someone with relevant experience in that field, I can confidently say this is not true. And I speak not from an emotional standpoint, but in realistic, practical terms. So I will analyze the Russians’ de-nazification of Ukraine from the perspective of American military doctrine in the science of Information Operations.

However, based on what has happened over the past three weeks, I am seeing clear trends in nazi disinformation coming out of Ukraine and the dictatorships of the “Collective West.” Nazi talking points are not random and do seem to have a clear, though often inverted, relationship with real-world events. I do believe it is possible to dissect this propaganda to gain insights about the nazi war machine, and their future plans.
