That's like saying that people other than Americans can be obese. It's true, but it's kind of missing the point.

Nobody does maskirovka like the Russians; hell, nobody has a word for maskirovka in the first place.

There is an internationally-recongnized word, "camouflage", which perfectly describes what "maskirovka" is in russian. So nah

Wrong, Norway denies all knowledge of this word. It does not exist. All mentions of this word is a deep insult to all Norwegianic people.

Glad you know how to use Google Translate! Conflating the simple meaning of camouflage (a tactical consideration) with an integrated doctrine of tactical/strategic/political/social information deployment that literally no other country has come close to mastering is where I leave this conversation. We've gone OT enough as it is.

Have you ever heard of Hollywood?


Intelligence is knowing there's such a thing as Russian propaganda.

Wisdom is in knowing that Russian propaganda is American propaganda.

Seriously, though, you vastly underestimate the propaganda arm of the U.S. Empire.

I am actually Russian and ru-eng translation is a part of my daily job duties
And... no country have ever came close? Considering that everyone does it? Now, thats what i call "unwise"
Although i do agree that this is OT enough and i am sorry. Exactly what happens when some poor sod decides to do a political joke on game's forum.

Norwegian people have my most sincere apologies, then! Let them know they are awesome, as people are in general

"MattressMayhem and the accidental re-discovery of Jan Mayen in Northern Russia" 23.11.2017

While taking the everyday public transport around his hometown,Mattress a private in a long time defunct Ottoman Empire came across a queer island while studying maps of the northern terra incognita. This island,as he claimed later,was lost to the known world for what could have been days. In the moment of excitement and confusion he decided to claim this island for Russia due to it's probable proximity (according to his understanding of the atlas)
The paper he later on published on the university of Paradoxia was met with cynicism and mockery by academics,as many have claimed the island was well known to the civilized world and even populated by a small team of Norwegians.
Later that day a heated debate occurred among scholars as the act was described by some as "a threat to global security from the ambitious and malovelent Russian propaganda machine".
Private Mattress is currently being investigated on accounts of spying and spreading falsehoods.
