We are fighting a multi-polar information war. A man usually credited with the development of Doctrine is Russian General Valery Gerasimov.

Information operations in non linear warfare employs reflexive control theory, aka reflexive game theory, developed by Russian mathematician Vladimir Lefebevre.
Lefebvre's Algebra of Conscience affords control over subject's decisions by manipulating their information environment.
Lefebvre's formal mathematical theory says every decision is a moral decision, even one that appear moral neutral.
Also, from Econphysics blog:
>"Applying reflexive theory to social ethics (or >morality) leads to the conclusion that a >society that is willing to compromise on >issues of good and evil is a society where >individuals would often seek the path of >confrontation with each other." This >conclusion is somewhat counterintuitive >because many people tend to assume that >the willingness to compromise on principle is >an almost necessary condition to >cooperation, and the lack of compromise is >what leads to conflict.
