This article is a couple of weeks old now, but I thought it was important to remind people that despite the fact I’ve posted a lot recently about Russian and Chinese disinformation, the US also has a track record of engaging in disinformation campaigns against it’s adversaries.
Yes, we know that but it’s OK because we (the west that is) are the good guys.
I know you jest, but this approach is seriously worrying. It let’s other parts of the world do exactly the same to you and for the same reasons.
Well yes, but it’s always been this way. Unfortunately I can’t see it stopping anytime soon. We need to draw a line somewhere but I don’t know where that is. China wasn’t really that forthcoming with info though, perhaps if they’d been upfront from the beginning then this episode might not have happened, it would certainly have been pointless.
