"Deep state" nghĩa là gì?

"Deep state" = nhà nước ngầm -> nghĩa là các tổ chức như quân đội, cảnh sát hoặc nhóm chính trị hoạt động bí mật để bảo vệ các lợi ích cụ thể và cai trị đất nước mà không thông qua bầu cử.

Ví dụ

Details of the far-right plot (mưu đồ) as they emerged painted a picture of a group that, while small, had created concrete plans to storm the German parliament (quốc hội, nghị viện) and use violence to achieve its aims. Using various conspiracy (âm mưu) narratives (tường thuật) to justify their plans, group members saw their preparations — to storm the German parliament with weapons and even install their own government ministers — as an attempt to combat a supposed “deep state.”

When hearing talk of the “deep state”, Iran is perhaps the deepest of them all. The line between state and private sectors is often hard to discern (nhận thức, phân biệt). Any change must be driven from within, and in a country of 90 million people that means a lot of people must be convinced that supporting the protests will improve their life. Even if people are sympathetic (đồng cảm, đồng tình) to the underlying aims of the demonstrators, for a significant element of the population, the devil they know is preferable to the uncertainty that this leaderless protest movement offers.

That never manifested (bày tỏ, chứng minh), at least not in 2020. Instead, two years later, hostile actors pored over a cache (nơi giấu trữ) of emails to create a damaging narrative more tangentially (hời hợt, lộn xộn) linked to politics. That’s the ongoing effort, facilitated by Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk, to use internal Twitter emails to portray the FBI’s efforts to block potential foreign interference (sự can thiệp, giao thoa) as itself being an intentional attempt to influence the campaign. His goal is political; he wants to reinforce the sense on the right that government actors in the “Deep State” conspire (âm mưu) with the American left to hold power.
