However: the workaround is elegant in it's simplicity, the aggressor state purchases media outlets in the target country.By their nature they will be to some degree self-funding.If done correctly, the person doing the purchasing can even get a seat in the House of Lords and thus contribute to writing the laws that will govern the target country for generations to come.It also helps the person doing the purchasing become a household name, which is a soft-power of a separate sort.I'm always slightly wary of using New Statesman as a source but in a pinch, they have a good summary of it. <a href="https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/media/2023/02/what-does-evgeny-lebedev-want-evening-standard-independent-newspaper" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/media/2023/02/what-does-evgeny-lebedev-want-evening-standard-independent-newspaper</a><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#propaganda</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#media</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/softPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#softPower</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UK</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#journalism</a>
