Context Details for the Youtube Algorithm to connect to interested viewers:
Russia has been launching an increasingly effective information warfare campaign against the United States. But it's hard to take a claim like this seriously, until you see what information warfare and a disinformation campaign looks like in action. In 2007 Russia launched a simple but effective disinformation campaign against Estonia in order to incite a riot. The conflict centered around a World War 2 memorial monument informally named "The Bronze Soldier of Tallinn." This monument has a deeply sown meaning for both the ethnic Estonian and ethnic Russian populations that currently live in Estonia - and it was on that meaning that the information weapons were targeted. The video explores how state sponsored news media can be used as a weapon if the purpose is the inflame rather than to inform.
