    OSINT usually just means stark raving mad western chauvinist. Their main skill seems to be hitting wikipedia asap after a state dept press release.

      The OSINT community is showing the potential of the crowdsourced 21st century war. Just last night I saw a twitter account with a dog holding one of those rocket launchers that really dismembers conscripted teenagers. The dog was posting a screenshot from google maps and saying slurs. Whoever controls that account drew many intelligent lines on the map. I normally couldn’t see information like that without literally working for the CIA, yet here I am in 2024 helping Ukraine fight a war. Just by replying “vladolf putin hitler” under the slur dog named @Sicherheitsdienst88.
