Thread: 8 June 2022: Day 105 of #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine
#Russia's Chief Rabbi has fled the country because the government tried to force him to support the eradication of #Ukraine. The Russian "denazification operation" has devastated Jewish communities in Ukraine and is now de-Jewing Russia, too.

RU propaganda continues demonising Poland. The Kremlin tries to persuade its own audience that Poland has imperialistic ambitions akin to the ones in Russia and therefore is just as bad as Russia. Examples in thread @TextyOrgUa #GrayZone #AgainstRussianLies
«The concept of Polish foreign policy exists since the Jagiellonian times, since the XIV century. It assumes the expansion to the East, and penetration of Lithuania and Russian lands. Poland regards itself as a leading Eastern European power, a multi-national empire-state».
«Modern Poland builds its historical mythos around the beginning of the war. It poses as a long-suffering victim, caught between the two totalitarian systems. Of course, it regards itself as an honourable and innocent country and capitalizes on its sacrificial status».

Mainstream Russian media use tabloid journalism when criticizing @POTUS and spreading anti-Western narratives. See examples in the thread. @TextyOrgUa #GrayZone #AgainstRussianLies
«Biden often makes ridiculous gaffes in his public speeches. Take the latest – double blooper during his speech at the White House. First, the president got lost in the ATF abbreviation (American Federation of Teachers) and then could not pronounce the nominee’s last name right»
«The US calls for Biden’s impeachment, after the president’s attempt to «shake hands with thin air» @TextyOrgUa #GrayZone #AgainstRussianLies

Delighted to publish this paper last week with the @HybridCoE, pretentiously titled: ‘Deterring hybrid threats: Towards a fifth wave of deterrence theory and practice’.
🧵below on the key points (w/pics!). hybridcoe.fi/publications/h…
#deterrence #hybridthreats #grayzone #strategy
(1/11) Big picture, the paper does 2 things:
1⃣ Looks again at deterrence theory & practice to restore the foundations eroded by hybrid threats.
2⃣ Looks to the future of hybrid threats & new horizons in deterrence – incl prospect of a post-modern, 'fifth wave' of deterrence.
(2/11) To details. 1st, obligatory definitional masochism. What are hybrid threats? IMO, combining modern tools of statecraft to seek gains while avoiding reprisal,⬇️threshold of armed attack. (I steer clear of definitional weeds…😬) For more see: ndupress.ndu.edu/Portals/68/Doc…

“He added that the US had to ‘accept some friction and force Beijing to choose between de-escalating — the preferred US outcome — or to move up against a US red line that China would prefer to avoid’.” amp.ft.com/content/ab4b16…
"The US navy has been conducting FONOPS..sends warships through disputed waters to prevent a claimant from denying others access in violation of int'l law. Analysts have long pushed for a more effective US response to counter China’s mix of mil, paramil & econ coercive measures."
