Current Events I

 This blog did a great job describing the situation happening in Ukraine after a week. However, in this blog, I did not see a proper explanation of how people are being manipulated. 

This was my comment; unfortunately, it did not yet get approved.

It is fascinating to understand that! The world has never seen such an informational battlefield as we see it right now. It is possible to say that information warfare is the deliberate manipulation of information trusted by a target without the target's knowledge for the target to make decisions that are not in their best interests but are in the best interests of the person conducting the information warfare. In contemporary war, the capacity to influence is a critical instrument for achieving political objectives. As a result, it is difficult to tell when information warfare starts, stops, or how powerful or destructive it is. This war did not start in February 2022; it started long ago. During this time, the Ukrainian and the Russian sides were brainwashed to make them believe in the truth they were supposed to think. Looking only at the two months that had passed is impossible to judge objectively. We must look deeper at the problem.
It comes to the point when everyone must be looking at both sides of the conflict to realize the scale of the problem entirely—asking questions such as: Who benefits from it? When did it start? 
It is fascinating, but understanding the psychology of people acting positively on the discussed conflict will show the depth of a battle. 
Joseph Goebbels said that by repeating a lie often enough, people will believe it.
