Russia 'will likely lose' its war in Ukraine if the US can keep from falling prey to Moscow's information game, conflict analysts say​

The US must be aware of and avoid Russian disinformation operations at all costs if it wants to maintain its Western values and help Ukraine win the war, conflict analysts argue.

"Basic facts are in question daily as the Kremlin floods the Western debate with its narratives," analysts at the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War said in a March 27 report.

The analysts said that "the notion that the war is unwinnable because of Russia's dominance is a Russian information operation, which gives us a glimpse of the Kremlin's real strategy and only real hope of success."

For years, Russia has manipulated information enough to cause other countries to perceive Russia as a dominant force in Europe and, more recently, that it is winning in Ukraine.

The Kremlin's narrative manipulation can shape Western perceptions of the war, causing divisiveness over aid and support for Ukraine.

Because Russia needs to sideline Ukraine's Western partners, the US in particular, the ISW analysts wrote, "the Russian strategy that matters most, therefore, is not Moscow's warfighting strategy, but rather the Kremlin's strategy to cause us to see the world as it wishes us to see it and make decisions in that Kremlin-generated alternative reality that will allow Russia to win in the real world."

ISW asserts that the Kremlin is pushing the narrative that "supporting Ukraine is a distraction from 'real' US problems" and is simply not worth the effort, and it's having an effect. Conflict fatigue has become a serious issue in the West, especially the US as support funding for Ukraine's war effort has been held up and unable to pass in Congress for months.

There have been obvious impacts on the battlefield as well as Ukrainian forces grapple with a lack of ammunition and supplies.

Which part is the "western propaganda"?

Is it the analysis from a think tank?

Russia 'will likely lose' its war in Ukraine

Does anyone ever "win" a war? I suppose this has to do with the assumption that one political system is better then another. When they are pretty much all rotten to the core. What does the Bible say about government? Anyone have any idea at all?

Yes.
1 Samuel 8:10-20,
"And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king.

And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. (Secret Service)

And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots. (slaves, military draft)

And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.

And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. (imminent domain, govt taking land)

And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. (taxes)

And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.

He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants. (Communist govts, socialist, etc: taxes again.)

And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day.

Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;

That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles."

Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel

We can all look forward to the 1,000 year reign of Christ.
