Great analysis from @exexpat19 in @TheEconomist. The first hand experience and expertise from attaches can provide critical insights for defense policy.

BREAKING NEWS: The CIA alleges that 5 random clowns in a sailboat penetrated the most highly patrolled body of water on earth, drilled through concrete at incredible depths, and planted 1,000 Kilograms of highly unstable C4 plastique, then remote detonated it with pulse sonar.

This sort of action — leaking intelligence assessments to the press to reshape the narrative — is exactly what Russia understands as information warfare. Information warfare is their broader concept that encompasses cyber.

@michaeldweiss

No doubt the Hersh bullshit prompted the U.S. to leak this to the NYT now. The Germans almost certainly knew/know. And it's worth reviewing Scholz's antics in the last few months over Ukraine and Leos, etc. in the that light.

I'd also retrospectively read the Dugina assassination attribution (also leaked to NYT) as a warning from the IC to vested interests in Ukraine not to go off-script in so dramatic a fashion again.

Caveat: apparently the German reporters have been working this story for a long time unrelated to the NYT.

Poll: Young people in 13 EU countries refuse surveillance of online communication – Press Release

According to the results of the survey, 80% of young people aged 13 to 17 years old from 13 EU Member States would not feel comfortable being politically active or exploring their sexuality if authorities were able to monitor their digital communication, in order to look for child sexual abuse.

• 66% of respondents don’t approve of internet providers monitoring their digital communication for suspicious content

• 67% rely on encrypted communication apps like WhatsApp or Signal

• 56% consider their anonymity crucial for their activism and for organising politically among peers

• 1 in 3 respondents use communication apps, dating apps, or other apps to send intimate photos

Aha! No wonder the little criminals don’t want to be surveilled!! A third of them are sending underage sexual material to people!@!@#

Here goes: It's all of them! Why? Because rebel groups - even those receiving direct sponsorship - don't work for states. They have their own agency, motivations, goals. They will have been waging ops against the target long before the "sponsoring" state came along 1/7
