President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yes, and it worked. Because too many voters are lazy and dim.

 

1. They didn't know the depth and magnitude of it, and

2. They said, "well I heard Hillary was involved in some more email scandal last week."

 

3. Anyone but her, and by any means necessary.

 

So instead let's vote for a Fucking incestuous pervert with his mouth planted in Vladimir Putin's crotch.

I don't speak Russian, other than a few words that I've picked up over the years, such as "nekulturny". I'm internet reference dependent.


Online Etymology Dictionary

disinformation (n.)
1955, from Russian dezinformatsiya (1949), which is said to be from French; see dis- + information.



Then there is Wikipedia, which has a pretty in depth entry. First few graph introduction only, there is much more. I thought this sentence was particularly apt. "...disinformation is misinformation that is purposefully and intentionally disseminated in order to defraud."

Disinformation (Russian: dezinformatsiya[1][2][3] and dezinformatsia[4]) is intentionally false or misleading information that is spread in a calculated way to deceive target audiences.[1][2][3] The English word, which did not appear in dictionaries until the late-1980s, is a translation of the Russian дезинформация, transliterated as dezinformatsiya.[1][2][3] Disinformation is different from misinformation, which is information that is unintentionally false.[5] Misinformation can be used to define disinformation — where disinformation is misinformation that is purposefully and intentionally disseminated in order to defraud.[6]

Usage of the term related to a Russian tactical weapon started in 1923, when the Deputy Chairman of the KGB-precursor the State Political Directorate (GPU) called for the foundation of "a special disinformation office" for clandestine operations.[7] The term was used in 1939, related to a "German Disinformation Service".[8][9] Ion Mihai Pacepa, senior official from the Romanian secret police, said the word was coined by Joseph Stalin and used during World War II.[2][3] In the book, Disinformation, Pacepa wrote Stalin gave the tactic a French-sounding name in order to put forth the ruse that it was actually a technique used by the Western world.[3] Soviet intelligence used the term maskirovka to refer to a combination of tactics including disinformation, simulation, camouflage, and concealment.[10]

Disinformation saw wider use as a term of Soviet tradecraft, defined in the 1952 official Great Soviet Encyclopedia as spreading "false information with the intention to deceive public opinion."[1][2] As a result of the defections of KGB officers, more information about disinformation campaigns came to light during the late 1960s through the 1980s.[11][12] Examples of prominent disinformation campaigns included the fraudulent publication in 1968 of Who's Who in the CIA,[13] and Operation INFEKTION, a widespread attempt to influence world opinion to believe that the United States invented AIDS.[2][14]

The U.S. government did not devote significant resources to countering disinformation campaigns during the 1970s; this changed during the Carter Administration in 1980 when a fake document reported the U.S. supported the Apartheid government in South Africa.[15] President Jimmy Carter was shocked by the fabrications and afterwards the Central Intelligence Agency spent more efforts to counter Soviet disinformation.[15] The U.S. engaged in disinformation campaigns of its own — notably during the during the CIA effort to substitute Mohammed Reza Pahlavi for then-Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Mossadegh and in 1979 during the during the Soviet–Afghan War.[2] Use of the term in the English language became more prominent in 1986 after revelations that the Reagan Administration government had engaged in a disinformation campaign against then-leader of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi.[16]

 

Trump says U.S. not necessarily bound by 'one China' policy


Trump is going to keep poking at China until they deliver a little slap back - say pricing U.S. bonds below market and selling the snot out of them for a day or two.


Some interesting perspectives here: How should China respond to Trump's Taiwan card? - Global Times

"The economy, especially trade with China, is what Trump cares about most. However, he has little to bargain with China at present, and therefore makes provocative remarks about China's Taiwan question to pressure the Asian giant for economic concessions. He has a pragmatic view of politics, and attempts to win maximum interests by every possible means.

Trump will be disappointed. The Taiwan question, trade and the South China Sea disputes are three separate issues. We should not and will not link them together. China will, for sure, take countermeasures if Trump insists on his provocative words and deeds after taking office. For instance, against Trump's hope to expand exports to China, the Chinese side is free to cut its imports from the US, buying less Boeing airplanes, agricultural products, chemical and medical equipment. China's direct investments to the US, which is of vital importance to US manufacturing and employment, can also be reduced. China can dump or cut its holdings of US Treasury bonds as a retaliatory measure as well. Anyhow, China has a number of cards in hand to thwart Trump from reaching his selfish aims."
