Information sharing should increase on the ATTACKED side... it should
DECREASE and be cut off on the non-provoked attacker's side.

Trouble is, that leads to two deleterious effects in this case:
1) The rest of the world is left with just the Putin Gov't's word on what's going on *in* Russia
2) The Russian people are left with just the Putin Gov't's word on what's going on *elsewhere*


Information sharing should increase during wartime, not decrease.

Restricting information is more often the playbook of authoritarian
regimes, and not something we should generally support.

THIS.
