The Ukraine war is a war in a new age. The Internet has never been such a crucial weapon. And not only with a view to possible propaganda on the Internet or false videos, but also with a view to large US corporations. How Silicon Valley companies are stirring up Putin’s war against Ukraine.
The Russia/Ukraine war is also a cyber war. Russian bots flood anti-Russian Twitter accounts, the Ukrainian population uses Google Maps to track Russian troop movements via traffic jam displays. And vice versa, Putin looks in the tube, because: “Apple and Google Maps no longer show traffic reports in Ukraine because experts have pointed out that this could reveal Ukrainian escape routes or troop movements,” says “stern” cyber expert Christian Hensen. The tech companies in Silicon Valley are taking action against propaganda for the first time and are shutting down pro-Russian YouTube channels, for example. And then there is the hacker network Anonymous, which has repeatedly paralyzed Russian government websites in recent days. Christian Hensen explains in episode 224 of “today important” what it is all about and what dangers such cyber attacks also harbor. Because Vladimir Putin could potentially see all of this as justification for a further escalation of the war.
How Joe Biden is using the war in Ukraine
Joe Biden’s poll numbers are worse than ever. Inflation is gnawing at his country, his reform agenda is making no headway, and his own party has put the brakes on big plans, such as investing billions in climate protection and expanding the healthcare system. And now there is also the Ukraine war. If you ask around in the USA, you will hear again and again that there would have been no war with Donald Trump. And then suddenly this: At his first State of the Union address this week, Joe Biden received a standing ovation from both parties and calls for the United States went through the plenary hall. How did he do it? The strategy and campaign consultant Julius van de Laar, who was already involved in Barack Obama’s election campaign, says in episode 224 of “important today” that this war could actually be Biden’s great opportunity. He would not be the first US President to be helped by a war.
