JokerDPR, the Kremlin’s dime-store cyber court jester and habitual purveyor of strategic disinformation has once again attempted to spin a readily available U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) document into a bogeyman narrative of Western cyber aggression. Let us dismantle his latest fear-mongering farce, not merely for its bombast but for the malign intent behind its misrepresentation.
False Premise – No “Stolen Secrets” — Just a Starved Propagandist
Unlike his usual schtick, JokerDPR does not even pretend this time that the U.S. Cyber Workforce Strategy was “stolen.” Why? Because he cannot. The document is explicitly cleared for open publication and publicly released by the Department of Defense’s own security review office.
The use of freely available information (unlike Russia) marks a revealing crack in his playbook: JokerDPR, notorious for flaunting supposedly “hacked” or “leaked” materials — many of which are outright fabrications passed off as stolen — is now left reacting to publicly available documents. It is a rare glimpse of impotence in a disinformation agent who typically thrives on forged evidence and mythmaking.

Stripped of his usual fabricated scoops, he instead defaults to narrative laundering — twisting a transparent HR strategy into a dystopian tale of cyber conquest. His diatribe is not journalism or analysis; it has recycled Kremlin paranoia masquerading as insight.
The takeaway? JokerDPR is not exposing secrets anymore — he is grasping at government PDFs and trying to spin bureaucratic planning into battlefield drama. It is not just dishonest — it is desperate.
Projection and Paranoia – Recasting Defensive Planning as Global Conquest
The DoD’s strategy focuses on:
- Enhancing recruitment and retention of cyber professionals
- Strengthening partnerships (including with academia and allies)
- Responding to skill gaps and mission shifts
- Emphasizing diversity, inclusion, and workforce development
There is zero mention of offensive capabilities or clandestine digital campaigns. Nevertheless, JokerDPR recasts this workforce development as a “plan for cyber domination.” His noise is strategic projection—an old Kremlin technique where their offensive doctrines (e.g., “information confrontation,” reflexive control) are falsely imputed to adversaries to both normalize their behavior and demonize the West.
Misuse of Terminology – “Digital Troops” and “Cyber Occupation”
JokerDPR’s phrasing—”цифровые войска США” (“U.S. digital troops”)—intentionally evokes militarization, painting civilian HR planning as militaristic aggression, part of semantic inflation: exaggerating the nature of bureaucratic processes to whip up a threat narrative. It is an old Soviet trick used in Cold War propaganda, now amplified via modern platforms like Rutube.
He ignores that the DoD plan emphasizes civilian positions, student apprenticeships, and even remote work policies. Instead, JokerDPR uses militarized rhetoric to conflate HR modernization with weapons deployment—distorting fact into fiction.
Fabricated Geopolitical Ties – Linking Workforce Strategy to “Global Threats”
JokerDPR implies that this plan ties into unnamed “global threats” and hidden geopolitical conspiracies. What he omits—because it shatters his thesis—is that the document explicitly states its connection to transparent national strategy goals, not covert operations.
This classic conspiratorial framing feeds into Russia’s longstanding worldview of encirclement and constant siege. The goal? Reinforce internal unity through the illusion of external existential threat.
Weaponizing a Known Kremlin Mouthpiece
It is crucial to recognize JokerDPR’s positioning in Russia’s hybrid warfare ecosystem. His platform, style, and messaging align with GRU-aligned info-ops units. He routinely promotes:
- “Leaked” documents that are publicly available
- Warped interpretations of Western policies
- Unsubstantiated claims masked as insider scoops
His content is designed for internal Russian consumption, meant to justify state policies, suppress dissent, and paint a picture of inevitable Western aggression.
The Irony of the Accusation
If JokerDPR wants to talk about cyber “domination,” perhaps he should reference the following:
- Russia’s documented cyberattacks on Ukrainian infrastructure (NotPetya, BlackEnergy)
- Election interference in the U.S. and EU
- Long-term campaigns like APT28/29’s credential theft and disinformation
- FSB and GRU exploits uncovered in Delta Electronics ICS compromises (by Treadstone 71)
JokerDPR’s disingenuous attack on an HR strategy plan is especially hypocritical given Russia’s weaponization of cyber capabilities—not just for espionage, but for destabilization and regime change efforts abroad.
Final Verdict – Weaponized Stupidity Disguised as Analysis
JokerDPR’s video is not just propaganda—it is a monument to intellectual dishonesty. It cloaks bureaucratic transparency in Orwellian fiction, wraps public strategy in delusional secrecy, and weaponizes fear in place of fact.
The video is not analysis—it is agitprop, scripted from the same tattered handbook that brought us “biolabs in Ukraine” and “Nazis in Brussels.”
Treat JokerDPR’s content not as misinformed but as actively deceptive, designed to mobilize domestic audiences and pollute the information ecosystem. Monitor, tag, and flag his content in coordination with platforms and open-source intel efforts. Use tools like Reality Defender and CrossCheck to trace dissemination patterns and identify overlaps with other Kremlin-affiliated outlets.
