“…The experts on the deployment of social media as a tool of modern wars have rightfully pointed out its efficacy in information warfare and pointed out that the lightening developments in information communication technology (ICT), has played a pivotal role in its deployment as an important component of information warfare. Moreover, peoples' interests in their security forces fighting for the preservation of the sovereignty of the state, has undergone a change due to ever expanding knowledge on the military operations due to readily available information (Miroslav Mitrovic, 2018). In fact, the use of critical information in the domain of warfare has been an important component of the strategies formulated by the warring parties, since the time immemorial.…”

Social media has evolved over time as a weapon, as more useful tool in modern wars, though the concept of informational warfare is as old as wars and conflicts. From the Chief Executive of the state to the battlefield commander, everybody is using social media tools to communicate, either with the outside world or their own people. If the Chief Executive is using it for strategic communication, Ministries involved in the war effort would be using it for narrative building, and the field commander may be using it to update his position to raise the morale of his soldiers. Social media has now been fully weaponized in the context of opinion formation through narrative building and at times deter the opponent through misinformation, disinformation, and fake communication. This article is aimed at exploring the efficacy and impact of social media on wars and conflict, particularly on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. The paper concludes that an effective use of social media can have an overriding impact on the outcome of the battle in the changed paradigm.

“…However, for the public consciousness, the connection of war with the word and discursive forms is more important than abstract legal norms. The role of the fact of declaring war at the level of established cultural stereotypes (Mitrović, 2018) is fundamental.…”

The article states the core thesis about two asymmetric modes of existence of war – physical and discursive. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the analytical and practical necessity of distinguishing between two modes of existence of hybrid warfare as a phenomenon of physical reality and as a discursive construct, as well as to raise questions about the value specificity of the relationship between them. The methodology of work represents the implication of two asymmetric modes of war existence – physical and discursive. The relationship between the two modes can be described in particular through modern cognitive-semantic and communicative approaches. Analysis, synthesis (thesis-antithesis), description, distinction, historical perspective, forecasting and hermeneutic tools of comprehension are the core methods of this work. In the military (material) dimension, any military confrontation in general (and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in particular) is localized, while the discourse of this hybrid war has become global. The interpretive component of hybrid warfare is implemented through discursive verbal-semiotic means. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the concept of victory. The Ukrainian dimension embodies the postmodern practical representation of the analysis of the problem of hybrid warfare as a war of interpretations.

“…23 Јасно је да у савременом добу престиж и моћ једне државе не одређује војна сила, већ утицај медија. 24 Ефекат Си-Ен-Ен је синоним за активно и ангажовано извештавање о догађајима, најчешће са непосредног места збивања, односно извештавање у реалном времену, што је довело до непосредне свести јавности о политичким дешавањима, 25 и консеквентно приморава креаторе политике да реагују на њих. 26 Од 1991. године овај ефекат је постао и синоним за интеракцију политике и медија као инструмента притиска на јавност у вези са политичким, посебно спољнополитичким одлукама које се односе на војне интервенције.…”

Media, politics and public opinion are mutually conditioned social categories. Their interdependence is particularly pronounced in armed conflicts, especially in the context of armed interventions. The forum of the interaction of these phenomena is framed by the paradigm of strategic communication, which is transmitted to the public through the actions of entities identified as strategic communicators to achieve a motivating effect for reactions that are in line with communicators' interests. One of the emerging forms of strategic communication in all its forms and contents is the CNN effect. The paper contributes to the definition of the CNN effect as a broader concept than the television station, after which it was named. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the relationship between politics, the media and the public to gain public support for military intervention. The paper also provides an analysis of the CNN effect in the function of strategic communication on the example of the media use of bloodshed in the Markale market during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995, with an analysis of the US actions and effects to support the idea of military intervention.
