🗳️Unmasking Disinformation: Russia’s Strategy in the 2024 #USElections🗳️ With election season upon us, understanding how #disinformation is used to destabilize democracies is critical. In a recent Wikistrat #webinar, Russian #propaganda expert Dr. Viktor Denisenko unpacked #Russia’s tactics, highlighting how its campaigns aim to spread distrust, rather than promote a specific agenda. One takeaway? Russia’s “spaghetti method”—flooding the information space with false narratives to create confusion and mistrust in democratic institutions. 💬 “The goal is not coherence but chaos,” Dr. Denisenko explained.

Wikistrat's "When #Israel Strikes #Iran" report was recently featured in a USA TODAY article that explored the implications of a potential Israeli strike on Iran’s #nuclear facilities. In the article, Wikistrat's CEO, Oren Kesler, shared insights from our interactive #simulation with 30 leading #MiddleEast experts. When asked about factors Israel may be considering as it determines its next steps, he responded with a single word: "time." He explained, "Israel's not going to destroy Iran's nuclear program. It may be able to postpone it, though. And with time, you can build capabilities. You can make new alliances." Read the full article here:
