Pellegrini’s victory cemented Fico’s grip on power by giving him and his allies control of major strategic posts. The new government immediately halted any arms deliveries to Ukraine.

    Interesting point. I feel that the role of disinformation as a whole, is being dowplayed in society, if that’s what you mean. At the end of the day it is people /civilians whom are being influenced and they vote or elect a government. Also, the EU is trying to cope with it, but it seems they are one of the few fighting this battle, and they aren’t always backed strongly by national governments.

    If you ask me, the mainstream culture ( media and bartalk etc) hasn’t catched up with current events as they have been unfoldind for the last decade. People still want to believe that" all is well, and maybe we don’t need to change too much".

    But many, if not most people underestimate the power of propaganda/ disinformation. It is being used because it works. It’s hard to fight it , but I 100% agree that more could and should be done.
