Based on current Technology there’s an app that can create anyone’s face on your face. I’m not going to get into to much detail, but I want a study going on the idea. My question is this:
With the app as talked about above do you think a war could be triggered over a fake video?

A1C Lexas Granger I think the advance of technology, particularly deep fakes, could contribute to a false flag deception, which among other indicators and events could nudge a nation over the edge. We were drawn in to the Spanish American War by a horrific accident and yellow journalism (Remember the Maine). I don't think a lone set of deep fakes alone would do it, unless it was used as an excuse for something a nation wanted t do all along.
One thing that makes MILDEC dangerous is that adeptly skilled MILDEC feeds what analysts and commanders have already drummed up as possible or likely. It is how the Allies faked out the Germans on the Pas de Calais as the invasiòn beaches vice Normandy. The German Command was convinced that is where it would be As it was the shortest distance between A and B and our existing MILDEC was being believed. The Command was out of position on D Day, as they were attending a rehearsal of an Allied Invasion and their response, at the Pas de Calais.

LTC Jason Mackay I remember something about that from school and a little from research, and when History Channel was actual “History”. They set up a fake staging area to show several Battalions as if they were going to land somewhere else. Patton was to lead said false troop movement in order to land in Normandy.
The diversion was so good that the Germans moved almost all their troops and armor to where they thought the invasion would take place.
The way we did battle In Europe was like playing a game of Goh or however it’s spelled. Where the objective is to trick your opponent into a trap to beat them, or to make your opponent give up their strategic side of the board and thus force them to surrender. At least this was my take from the Docu-series that aired when I was 12.

A1C Lexas Granger - there was also the planted documents the Brits placed on a corpse to wash up on the beach in Spain. "Invasion plans" in a briefcase handcuffed to it. It was all pieces to a whole.

LTC Jason Mackay Now that detail, as clever as that is, I could have done without knowing. Very interesting nonetheless.

This type of technology/deception is already in use. See attached link.
Use of deception by militaries is as old militaries. Like any other tool/weapon, it has evolved as technology has evolved. Countermeasures have evolved accordingly.
One thing technology hasn’t been able to overcome is the uncanny valley. It’s the innate ability for people to be able to differentiate between other real people and facsimiles of people (drawings, paintings, robots, cgi, etc). No matter how life-like, people can generally spot the fake. (This ability has been observed in other primates, also).
There are lots of problems to worry about that might cause a war. This particular issue is low on the list.

Lithuania says report of a US military vehicle killing a boy in an accident is fake news...
A blog post about the supposed incident appeared on a website made to look like Lithuania's top news site, and the story has emerged amid a massive NATO military exercise in the Baltics.

Very rarely do I think countries go to war without good reason or a growing desire for conquest. For instance, the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the excuse, not the cause of World War 1. A combination of factors such as military alliances, imperialism, nationalism and a severe underestimation of one's opponents were the driving causes of that war.
I think this is one of many reasons why Congress should vote to declare war instead of the President having unilateral power to order the military in warfare.

I agree with you, but the better answer as to why Congress allows this to happen is because war drives the economy in many ways.

I also agree that countries likely would not go to war all willingly without valid reasons. However of what I’ve seen the videos I’ve seen are all too real to tell what is real or fake. Remember it only takes 30 minutes to end the world.
