Sure, disinformation about disinformation

" Meanwhile, EU officials say there has been an increase in pro-Kremlin disinformation since last autumn. “The last week of November is give or take the time when we started seeing again – as was the case in spring last year – intensified rhetoric and more aggressive rhetoric,” an EU official said.

Pro-Kremlin outlets, which EU sources describe as “machines of content” have made numerous claims, depicting Ukraine as a tool or toy of the west. "

So what Russia says has to be disinformation while what the West says has to be the truth?
There's a word for it

Blame games.

Seems as if USA want a confrontation, and a proxy war. If so I would guess it's about home, showing who is the 'president', sort of like the UK and Boris Johnson. But it will be a war payed by Europe if it comes to be, at least at the beginning.

And it will be hi tech, f.ex automated drones  with some type of AI systems involved. Making their own 'decisions' of what is a target and what is not. Not about soldiers per se, more about crowds. Already been seen in use in the Middle East with several companies building and selling them. Automated flying bombs steered by AI systems.

Our new hi tech laboratory, East Europe. Where we can test the latest weapon systems, in 'real life'. Funny that.

The Pandemic, and the UK. But not only the UK. This kind of business schemes should be similar all over the game, and world, helped forward by you lobbyists and governments. Always ending with a hand going through your wallet taxpayer, to pay for it.

It's a maxim, that you're the final financial guarantor of your governments incompetence. Not only for the pandemic.

Skimming the cream.

And don't blame it on Russia please.  https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/jan/29/how-the-uk-government-lost-49bn-to-covid-loan

I think that psychologist was correct, that we seem 'genetically disposed' to kill each other. With those not accepting it lying to themselves. That's where your 'morals', so slippery and fluid, comes in instead of rights.

Good riddance is sounding better and better here.

Heh, actually something of a standard clausal in most white collar works,  the kind you sign before getting to a job. Perfectly legal, all of it.

" Staff should not, he said, “openly criticise or discredit the organisation in the media or on social media” or “disclose any confidential information in connection with the Environment Agency to anyone who is not authorised to received it”. "

Funny, and about morals I guess, The Guardian?
