Russian hybrid activities that NATO warned about yesterday…?

NATO statement on Russian hybrid activities on Alliance territory 👀

With the amount of grossly inaccurate historical analogies/comparisons I've seen on this site in the past week alone, it's the best argument we have for keeping the foundations of a liberal arts education intact. We need more History majors & fewer folks studying whatever else 😬

Does anyone else think it’s time to turn the internet off? Maybe 9-10 every morning only ? Sounds mad but a lot to recommend it. And don’t get me started on encrypted apps!
