America is losing a war it hasn’t even named yet
The United States is facing a new form of warfare that involves the manipulation of public perception through technology. This modern conflict, often referred to as the 'cognitive domain,' is being waged by foreign adversaries like Russia and Iran, who use sophisticated tactics to spread disinformation. As a result, many Americans struggle to discern reality from fabricated content, undermining trust in democratic institutions.
- ▪Foreign adversaries are using technology to manipulate how Americans perceive reality.
- ▪Russia has increased funding for state media while employing tactics like cloning news websites to spread propaganda.
- ▪A recent survey found that nearly half of Americans question the authenticity of online content, leading to a phenomenon known as the 'liar’s dividend.'
