I tried to look it up to see if the U.S. is in the details I didn't have to look far because the first thing you'll find searching them up is:

The Africa Center for Strategic Studies (ACSS) is self-described as "a U.S. Department of Defense institution established and funded by Congress for the study of security issues relating to Africa and serving as a forum for bilateral and multilateral research, communication, and exchange of ideas involving military and civilian participants."

    Low how it's Kremlin and CCP. Not Moscow and Beijing or even Kremlin and Beijing.

    Maybe they should have laws requiring the disclosure of foreign funding in NGOs.

    blinken-pain "No, not like that."

    Africa Centre for Strategic Studies

    300 5th Avenue, Building 20, Fort Lesley J. McNair, Washington, DC

    Seems reasonable

    Edit: I read slightly further

    The Africa Center is an academic institution within the U.S. Department of Defense

    I love how “disinformation” now just means “information I don’t like”

    It's all nonsense so I'm actually surprised that every country doesn't have at least one dot indicating disinformation actors. The CIA could tweet "The US is militaristic..." from a IP it controls in Cameroon and - there you go - a dot!

    Fascinating how none of these maps ever have the US or literally any european countries on them.

    Are we to believe that those states AREN'T engaging in propaganda and psyops campaigns abroad?

    The word "disinformation" itself is clearly a shibboleth. Used solely by the nato countries to refer to the propaganda and psyops efforts of their enemies but never to themselves.

    This map itself is disinformation.

      none of these maps ever have the US or literally any european countries on them.

      I think the worst part is Americans and Europeans actually believe their own spy agencies aren't...well....spying. Every country on the planet has spies. Some of them are more disruptive than others (CIA, MI5/6, and Mossad being prime examples). We spy on other people, they spy on us.

      Even in the private sector, companies spy on one another. There's money to be made and lost. Of course they're going to run disinformation campaigns about other companies (this is like 99% of advertising). And they have people leaking company secrets a.k.a. insider trading.

      But no. It's totally only the bad countries who spy on other people. We totally don't have an entire department that's a monetary black hole doing evil shit.

    please Xi, South Africa yearns for poverty alleviation, high-speed rail and Dongfeng-41 missiles.

    Also whatever happened to South Africa "being a puppet state of ISIS, Iran and Hamas"? Did the collapse of the Mossad cell in Johannesburg cause a shortage of diapers to steal from the luggage at the airport? L
