1/9 Copying nazis once again: the '60 to 40 method' disinformation agents have been activated by russia.
2/9 Have you observed that individuals, both russian and non-russian, whom you believed were against Putin and his war and supported Ukraine, have recently begun advocating for forced negotiations that favor russia's position?
3/9 This has a specific cause. russia is once again emulating Nazi Germany by employing the so-called '40 to 60' disinformation method, originally developed by Goebbels.
4/9 This method involves producing media that allocates 60 percent of its content in favor of the enemy's interests. Subsequently, having gained their trust through this approach, the remaining 40 percent is utilized for highly impactful disinformation.
5/9 russia has the capability to enlist individuals who appear to be from the opposition, as well as other people, to execute this method using skillful mental gymnastics and effective communication techniques. This approach has proven to be highly effective.
6/9 There have been many instances of a shift in rhetoric by individuals who were perceived to be supporting Ukraine. Some of them purposefully employ the 40 to 60 method, while others are simply russian imperialists who happen to be opposed to Putin. Some are just opportunists.
7/9 russia consistently launches new disinformation campaigns against the West, employing various methods. The '40 to 60' method is just one of these tactics, yet it proves to be highly effective due to its reliance on trust.
8/9 These campaigns have been remarkably successful in causing many to overlook russia's initial lies and the origins of the war, as well as the significant setbacks experienced by russia in the invasion thus far.
P.S. I am not suggesting that the individuals in the pictures are russian disinformation agents or intentionally use the 60 to 40 method. However, their recent shift in rhetoric aligns with the pattern discussed in the thread.

1/6 Belgium is helping Russia in its war against Ukraine.
How? It is the final obstacle preventing Ukraine from accessing Russia’s frozen assets.
Does Belgium want to be remembered as Russia’s helper?
2/6 Belgium is still blocking Russia’s frozen assets from being transferred to Ukraine, constantly finding new excuses to help Russia.
Does Belgium want to be remembered as the country that made Ukraine and Europe lose to Russia?
3/6 Belgium has been blocking this for months. It is the only country left doing so.
First, it used legal fears as an excuse. Europe worked to address those concerns, even with help from Norway. After that, Belgium's PM De Wever found new excuses, and Trump provided them to him
