"Given that influence has become Russia’s weapon of choice, influence operations by default must become the primary strategy of resistance and containment. The USG and most of our Allies have largely ceded the influence battlefield to Russia, offering only token resistance. Of note, many other nations and non-state actors such as DAESH are also executing similar strategies against the US and our Allies with varying degrees of intensity and success. Developing an effective strategy for Russia by default would go a long way towards addressing these other threats as well. Implementing a complete strategy and the massive reworking of USG security architecture as required would be time prohibitive considering the current level of threat and even worse, risky. Pragmatic solutions focused on more effective and aggressive use of the tools we do have now would dramatically improve our defenses. "

LTC,
I enjoyed the article/essay. Mr. Cobaugh's tone of writing, IMO, is America is the greatest nation that has stepped foot on this planet. I share that opinion.
The problem I see, is all the major news outlets are working hard to mislead the American voter already. Half the country think Marxism us just fine. A few decades ago, Homosexuality was not moral. Now, half the country thinks it is a norm.
The media is being used to cause Americans to think a North American Union is just fine. The Constitution is a living document, etc..
We have to get rid of the enemies within first to counter any Russian narrative.
Just my quick thoughts on this subject over my cell phone Sir.

Mark - I find it hard to be able to counter anything when the Other Guys know your news cycle and who in that cycle is desperately looking for anything that runs with their slanted view. It is far easier to target using that than to do so in most other countries. Roger on the Ghost of old Karl - some prefer not to recall how it failed in the past and in the present because of that one critical aspect.... it reads mankind wrong when the dictatorship of the proletariat is actually in placed. Wonderful government in Cuba and Nicaragua and Venezuela.......

The truth of the matter is that the US has lost its ability to project soft power, it simply has little to offer The Wider world.

I might disagree - as to having lost it. I would say we have instead failed in our abilities to focus soft power and to synchronize it. It almost sounds same as losing it - but the capabilities are there... the abilities are lacking.
