I wonder if in near future, the war against the West is best taken by this approach, misinformation and pandemic. Seems like this is the holy grail of weapon most effective against Western thinking.
If a nation X and Y and Z can work together to cook more virus and more misinformation and intentionally release it in Western countries, that would spell doom. This is the Prisoner's Dilemma for Western countries.

- bun_at_work 6y agoI can't speak to the effectiveness of weaponizing them (or rather, don't want to), but misinformation is most definitely the Achilles Heel of democracy. For the people to govern themselves effectively, they must be accurately informed. When they aren't accurately informed we have the "fake news" plague that is damaging US and most western democracies.
