Peering through the fog of war

Summary:
The fog of war is thickening and so is the infowar to dominate the information space.  Claims and counterclaims are rife. The Western side is readily available in the media, but the other side of the story is not. Here are some other versions. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish "strategic communications" (euphemism for propaganda) from factual reporting, and sometimes not so hard. In fact, given the history of disinformation it seems incredible that the same playbook still works on the gullible, of whom there are many.There is also the complicated factor of framing. Everyone views reality in terms their own world view. World views is shaped by many subjective factors as well as media echo chambers. Thus, there are "alternative facts" that those who hold them believe to be correct
