Robert Beckhusen, War Is Boring: The Kremlin’s ‘New Generation Warfare’ Is Just Getting Started
Wait for the sequel.
Whether or not you believe the CIA’s claim that Russia hacked into the Democratic Party’s servers to help Donald Trump get elected — and you should be skeptical of anonymous sources — it should be blindingly obvious that we’re in the middle of a new kind of conflict.

Facebook has already proven - through their own studies - how social media can manipulate people. And Facebook has certainly been a battlefield, filled with all kinds of slanted, fake and twisted "news" stories, for the past year. What could Joseph Goebbels have done with today's social media? I suspect he could have had the whole world fighting itself while making Nazi Germany look like the "good guys". Why fight a government when you can get it's own citizens to fight it for you?
Take down the grid and you won;t have to hqack or influence cyber anything
Goebbels has already win, because his propaganda methods are today propaganda and commercial methods.
No Einstein, no theory of relativity
Ergo
No Goebbels, no 'his' propaganda methods (whatever they are & however they were different)
