What Hillary Knew About Putins Propaganda Machine
Russian disinformation around Ukraine set the stage for the Kremlins election meddling here. Clinton saw it coming, but couldn't stop it.

But it was still new to me. Even though I had been in media all my life, it wasnt until after Crimea that I saw the power and effectiveness of Russian propaganda and disinformation. In the information war, as one U.S. three-star told me, The Russians have the big battalions.
It all began with reports of little green men at least thats how TV news described the masked men in unmarked uniforms who skulked into Crimea in March 2014.
In fact, they were Spetsnaz, Russian special operations forces. At the time, Putin vehemently denied they were Russian troops. He claimed they were patriotic local militias defending the rights of ethnic Russians in Crimea.
This, of course, was an unblinking lie. Within days, Putin had illegally annexed a piece of Ukraine into the Russian federation and copped to the fact that they were indeed Russian soldiers. The White House condemned the violation of Crimeas sovereignty and began the process of imposing sanctions on Russia. At the time, I thought that at the very least we should marshal social media against this historic trespass. Some folks made fun of what they called #hashtag diplomacy, but heck, it was something. I started tweeting against Putin and Russias actions and urged everyone in the State Department with a social media account to do the same"The unshakeable principle guiding events must be that the people of #Ukraine determine their own future."
