RU propaganda continues demonising Poland. The Kremlin tries to persuade its own audience that Poland has imperialistic ambitions akin to the ones in Russia and therefore is just as bad as Russia. Examples in thread @TextyOrgUa #GrayZone #AgainstRussianLies
«The concept of Polish foreign policy exists since the Jagiellonian times, since the XIV century. It assumes the expansion to the East, and penetration of Lithuania and Russian lands. Poland regards itself as a leading Eastern European power, a multi-national empire-state».
«Modern Poland builds its historical mythos around the beginning of the war. It poses as a long-suffering victim, caught between the two totalitarian systems. Of course, it regards itself as an honourable and innocent country and capitalizes on its sacrificial status».
Mainstream Russian media use tabloid journalism when criticizing @POTUS and spreading anti-Western narratives. See examples in the thread. @TextyOrgUa #GrayZone #AgainstRussianLies
«Biden often makes ridiculous gaffes in his public speeches. Take the latest – double blooper during his speech at the White House. First, the president got lost in the ATF abbreviation (American Federation of Teachers) and then could not pronounce the nominee’s last name right»
«The US calls for Biden’s impeachment, after the president’s attempt to «shake hands with thin air» @TextyOrgUa #GrayZone #AgainstRussianLies
Delighted to publish this paper last week with the @HybridCoE, pretentiously titled: ‘Deterring hybrid threats: Towards a fifth wave of deterrence theory and practice’.

(1/11) Big picture, the paper does 2 things:
1⃣ Looks again at deterrence theory & practice to restore the foundations eroded by hybrid threats.
2⃣ Looks to the future of hybrid threats & new horizons in deterrence – incl prospect of a post-modern, 'fifth wave' of deterrence.

(2/11) To details. 1st, obligatory definitional masochism. What are hybrid threats? IMO, combining modern tools of statecraft to seek gains while avoiding reprisal,⬇️threshold of armed attack. (I steer clear of definitional weeds…😬) For more see: ndupress.ndu.edu/Portals/68/Doc…

"My parent's Greatest Generation [WWII], they fought to establish an int'l order that has prevented great power war for over 7 decades & it's currently under the most stress since the end of the Cold War" Gen Mark Milley, nominated as next chairman of @thejointstaff, tells #SASC
"From #EastAsia to the #MiddleEast to Eastern #Europe, authoritarian actors are testing the limits of the int'l system & seeking regional dominance while challenging int'l norms & undermining US interests" Gen Milley warns #SASC
"Our goal should be to sustain Great Power peace that has existed since World War II and deal firmly with all those who might challenge us" per Gen Milley
“Andrew Erickson, a maritime militia expert @NavalWarCollege, recently called for the US to “deal with China’s sea forces holistically” & state clearly that it expected China’s #Navy, #CoastGuard & #MaritimeMilitia to follow international rules.” ft.com/content/ab4b16… #PAFMM
“He added that the US had to ‘accept some friction and force Beijing to choose between de-escalating — the preferred US outcome — or to move up against a US red line that China would prefer to avoid’.” amp.ft.com/content/ab4b16…
"The US navy has been conducting FONOPS..sends warships through disputed waters to prevent a claimant from denying others access in violation of int'l law. Analysts have long pushed for a more effective US response to counter China’s mix of mil, paramil & econ coercive measures."

"During his recent tour of Europe, disgraced former Trump strategist Steve Bannon declared “Italy is in the lead.” /1 #antifa #Fascism
Amid the historic resurgence of the Italian far right that returned right-wing populist Silvio Berlusconi to prominence, Bannon fantasized about “the ultimate dream” of unifying the anti-establishment Five Star Movement with the far-right League (formerly the Northern League)- /2
