NATO 2030: Toward A New Strategic Concept

(That concept being social media censorship “to protect its political center-of-gravity”)

During the Cold War, we prioritized conventional military

But in the social media age, we’re losing our political support because people spread “anti-NATO narratives and conspiracies” online

So we need to think of war as stopping our own citizens from speaking freely online

We need to switch our censorship focus from external enemies to our own citizens

Because our own citizens talk badly about us online, we need to treat their tweets as a theatre of war

We need to remove the basic distinction between peace and war

We must preserve our political mandate

We need to push national censorship policies across all NATO countries

We, NATO, need to spy on and psychologically dissect our own citizens in order to see how they interpret narratives online that threaten our political mandate

We need “24/7 disinformation monitoring system driven by artificial intelligence”

Every word our citizens speak. Every sentence they write. Analyzed by a NATO political thoughtcrime radar system.

We need to use our muscle as the military to get political bodies across NATO to pump millions of dollars into brainwashing our citizens (“psychological defense”) & financially steroid-injecting censorship NGOs.

Oh and we need to capture the media.

The, erm, independent media
