2. Andrew Parker:

   Bare-faced lying seems to be the default mode, coupled with ridicule of critics, the Russian state's now well-practised doctrine of blending media manipulation, social media disinformation and distortion along with new and old forms of espionage, and high-levels of cyber attacks, military force and criminal thuggery is what is meant these days by the term 'hybrid threats'.
