Plausible Deniability in Security Studies #shorts

Maybe you wonder why I crossed the plausible denability because it's something that is uh cited a lot in security studies. But I think in this case it doesn't really make sense because uh this concept uh says that if you use a proxy you can say no I I I have no relation with this entity. It's not me and therefore you can uh deny any involvement from the states. But Russia, they don't care. They deny even if it's their own uh operative that conduct operations. Uh even if it's super they you have a lot of evidence pointing to them pointing to even yeah operative uh from the FSB they will say it's not them. So uh actually I think the concept

of implausible denability works better here which is uh the performative uh discourse of denying responsibility for any uh engagement.
