The reality is complex and requires nuance and critical thinking
The US is fighting a proxy war against Russia. Both States are bad actors and will/are using 5GW to control perceptions about the war
Each State is fighting to protect what they see as their own interests. Do not read that to mean, their citizens interests. Read: the interests of the State. Their goal is to convince enough of the populace to support or at least not actively push back against their agenda
Look at the leaked Pentagon documents that showed the presence of US Special Forces, different casualty numbers, and a generally less than favorable outlook for the war that what is being conveyed by politicians and the corporate press
On that note, compare how in lock step the corporate press is with the agenda of the State. The corporate press was discussing the information in these documents until the Pentagon said these documents were not meant for public consumption.
The corporate press clicked its heels like good little soldiers, stopped discussing the content of the documents, and started attacking the leaker
Meanwhile, alternate media has stored, disseminated, and analyzed the information in those documents in lightning speed. The information is out there for anyone to find, if they’re willing to look for it or know who to follow
Compare the Speed and Agility of alternate media with the Strength and Power of State aligned media
5GW combatants leaked, stored, disseminated and analyzed the leaked Pentagon documents before the Pentagon even knew the documents were leaked
Counter-5GW used their Strength and Power to try to suppress and discredit the documents, well after the leak
The former will prevail, but the latter will do plenty of damage
