And what so? Western countries are free democracies that don't spend 1 billion buck a year on propaganda, sedition, sabotage and subversion.

The West has no need to resort to underhanded tricks, and should not resort to a mirror version of Russian information warfare.

Right. Have you looked at the CIA's budget lately? How about the MI6?

That's how you lose a war, whether it be a conventional one or a geopolitical one.

People with moral integrity win wars against ones without, will keyboard warriors stand the ground when confronted by an enemy paratrooper pointing a rifle on them, or will they prostrate and beg mercy saying "I only edited articles"...

History suggests otherwise.
