M.N.: This is, it seems to me, the new type of war, undeclared ("Without Sky" is a sort of belletristic declaration), "soft", low-cost, that is waged on America these days: strange, unexplained, mysterious accidents, plain and train crashes (with general message: "you are on the collision course with us and will face disaster" and specific messages in "hidden, twilight" language, referring to names, places and numbers), murders-suicides, incited violence and "the war on the police", penetration and manipulation of mass media - information war, cyber-attacks, psychological zombification and enslavement, etc., etc., etc.. Apparently this strategy was well conceptualized and thought-out. Its goal is the same as in regular wars: mass control (it was and is practiced quite successfully by the KGB domestically for decades), demoralization and domination, it just is achieved differently, with "more efficient modern methods". Are we prepared for this new type of war? What do we have to do to be more prepared? What do we have to do to win it (and I have no doubts that we will)? | Vladislav Surkov: "It was the first non-linear war. In the primitive wars of the 19th and 20th centuries it was common for just two sides to fight. Two countries. Two groups of allies. Now four coalitions collided. Not two against two, or three against one. No. All against all. And what coalitions! Not like the ones you had before…We will come tomorrow. We will conquer or perish. There is no third way."
