Russia’s President Vladimir Putin (L) and newly-appointed Army Chief of Staff Gen. Valery Gerasimov in the Kremlin in Moscow, on November 9, 2012
Molly K. McKew, Politico: The Gerasimov Doctrine
It’s Russia’s new chaos theory of political warfare. And it’s probably being used on you.
Lately, Russia appears to be coming at the United States from all kinds of contradictory angles. Russian bots amplified Donald Trump during the campaign, but in office, Kremlin-backed media portray him as weak. Vladimir Putin is expelling U.S. diplomats from Russia, limiting options for warmer relations with the administration he wanted in place.

Confused? Only if you don’t understand the Gerasimov Doctrine.
