YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

I recently did some consulting for Veloxxity, a private intelligence company and while there I worked with a tool from Cyabra that allowed me to identify inauthentic accounts and misinformation spreaders without having to resort to custom Python scripts.

What I discovered leads me to believe that Russia has a limited number of "hardpoints" - for their misinformation delivery. These "hardpoints" are reserved for only the most important misinformation campaigns.

This dovetails in with two important, but annual military exercises - Atlantic Resolve which is essentially a logistical exercise in Europe and UNITAS, which is a combined Naval and Marine exercise with South America.

For all intents and purposes, UNITAS is a gold mine of possible misinformation content since roughly 37 million Americans are of Mexican ancestry and this year UNITAS is focusing on RSVs or Remote Surface Vehicles - essentially waterborne drones.

But Russia instead decided to put its bot network into promoting Operation Atlantic Resolve. This leads to some interesting data - that they may have a limited number of "hardpoints" - that is launching platforms for misinformation.
