This won't be the first time we have heard the Russian Chief of General Staff talk on the subject of Information Operations. What he describes is almost exactly what his boss has said the Russians were not doing - interfering with elections in many countries, using covert forces to make military incursions, and campaigns in the Ukraine and Syria. In a subtle way, he confirms most all of our suspicions about Russian Information War.
The Times article says this: "In the 2013 article, General Gerasimov wrote that there were no clear borders between war and peace in the modern world. Militaries fight in peacetime, he said, and political and economic means are deployed in war." President Putin has been listening and other branches of the government have been pulled in to do their part.
