The strategy the article suggests is basically 1. Don't argue with the disinfo trolls. Instead, counter disinformation trolls with your own disinformation trolls. 2. "both NATO and the United States have a range of capabilities to inform, influence, and persuade selected target audiences.

> both NATO and the United States have a range of capabilities to inform, influence, and persuade selected target audiences.

Hillary disagrees https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6sYB5d1Bu4 As far as I'm concerned RT is as much propaganda as CNN, BBC, Chanel 4, Fox news...
