Putin is winning the new Cold War. It’s time to go on the offensive

Only by giving Putin a taste of his own medicine can Washington compete against Moscow in the information space

Excerpt

The US government this week revealed – in a treasure trove of never before seen material – the scale of covert Russian plots to influence America’s upcoming presidential election.

As Russian tanks and jets wage war in Ukraine, Moscow is employing other, more covert forms of warfare to take the fight to the West in the hope of a victory for Donald Trump and to reduce Washington’s vital support for Kyiv.

It is long past time for Washington and its allies to fight back.
