Reflexive Control

Using Reflexive Control Russia convinces its enemies (whether states or individuals) to act of their own volition voluntarily in ways which benefit Russia. The idea is to understand your enemy’s reflexes — say, that your enemy gets angry very easily. Then you purposely trigger your enemy — you provoke them to become angry. Then, when because of their passion, your enemy behaves in a certain predictable manner according to their reflexes. Russia then swoops in to punish that mistake.

The terrifying elegance: the enemy acts voluntarily in your interest, believing they act in their own.
