    A change in doctrine seems like a much bigger deal than the sabre-rattling that Russia has heretofore engaged in. Scary stuff.

      Heretofore? Dear @deimos, does Tildes have any way to detect Russian bots? Would that be possible/feasible? I am from the Czech Republic, which is often used as a testing ground by the Russian lie...

      Dear @deimos, does Tildes have any way to detect Russian bots? Would that be possible/feasible? I am from the Czech Republic, which is often used as a testing ground by the Russian lie machine - too bad the book "Průmysl lži" (The Industry of Lies) by Alvarová is only available in the Czech language. I can smell (some of) that shit from miles away. When Russians do certain actions and suddenly there is a flood of comments on all kinds of forums with the same sentiment and the same weird language quirks and ruscisms spreading fear, muddying the waters, and wasting our time, I get annoyed and often leave the discussion - which I should not, because that is exactly what they want. Any other solution would be preferable.

        You might be reading into this too much. The word choice is 100% appropriate for the sentence they wrote.

    Yes, war is peace and lie is truth.

    But Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said "we strongly are in favour of doing everything to not allow nuclear war to happen".

    Speaking at a press conference at the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, Mr Lavrov said a declaration signed by the group, which includes Russia "clearly said we want to move towards a world free of nuclear weapons".

    Yes, war is peace and lie is truth.
