I wholeheartedly agree regarding the idea that the world has shifted from physical to information warfare. The internet as a communication medium is substantially more powerful than any other, we have seen, and using it as an attack vector provides significantly more benefits than just outright physically attacking a nation. The fact that a country can be influenced without physical presence or by using bots is a scary though, and doing so does in fact destabilize our nation as they sew discourse between differing groups. This is not a problem easily solved, and this is why in its current state it is so heavily abused. Nations such as Russia and North Korea abuse the internet through their ability to monitor and regulate what information is disseminated amongst their citizens, while also influencing information in countries such as the US, with Russia interfering with the 2016 election as an example. My belief after reading this article is that to protect ourselves in this current information warfare age, we need to look within more than looking outward. Ensuring our nation’s citizens have clear and consistent access to unbiased, untampered information, as well as doing what we can to stop other nations from actively infiltrating our country with false information to sew intentional discourse among our citizens. Making our society aware of these things taking place is also paramount, as without the awareness of our society to the manipulation of their daily information intake, they will continue to take all information as fact and continue to destabilize our country, bit by bit.
