Description: "In the twenty-first century, wars are no longer fought solely with guns, tanks, and missiles. Today's warfare is dominated by tactics that have a much greater chance of destroying our nation and eliminating liberty--namely, widespread manipulation and misinformation. The enemies of freedom, both foreign and domestic, are now using advanced technologies and misinformation to erode trust, sow division, and fundamentally transform the United States. Americans are angrier and more divided than at any other time in modern history. Basic facts about biology, economics, and history have largely been forgotten by massive segments of society. Increasingly, more young people hate their country and its history. And new technologies such as artificial intelligence and deepfakes are only making these problems worse and more disturbing. If the situation doesn't change soon, the United States will not survive."--
