What makes PSYOPS appreciably different from PR? If foreign governments are going to engage in PSYOPS campaigns against US citizens then it doesn't seem unwise to permit the US IC to do the same.
- ncmncm 6y agoThe difference is deception. A recent practical example was the runup to the Iraq invasion that had the entire US punditsphere (with the rare honorable exception) convinced of a wholly fictitious need. The result was $5T+ spent on invasion that could otherwise have been spent on, e.g., replacing the coal- and oil-fired power system with renewables, including energy storage systems, with plenty left over to provide college education and medical care for everyone.
