risk of eroding trust in your credibility and undermining your cause.

However, there is a role for so-called Black disinformation in wartime.

This deliberate dissemination of false or misleading information can be

highly effective as part of a military operation. Information campaigns

with the intent to deceive, manipulate, or undermine an adversary during

warfare or conflicts is a tactic used to gain strategic advantages by

sowing confusion and destabilizing the enemy. Classic examples of this

weaponised subterfuge played an important role in Britain’s victory in

WWII and can help to save many lives and shorten conflicts.
