The best programmers and hackers I ever met were all Russian.

The S-300/400/500 are so good not because of the hardware but because of the Russian coded software.

Beware

[Obama Tells CIA (and the world) To Prepare For Cyber War With Russia] Just further proof of what he would have done back then because he has been doing it since he has been installed in office.

How about particularly, and especially, and with no allies, if Trump wins in November?

(New tagline.)

They’ve dropped those emails every day this week. Can we expect more today?

This would be all about personal gain and protection. Wikileaks is getting too close to obongo. Just like fall of 08 and 12 isn’t it? Create a crisis, create turmoil, shift the footing, throw everything off balance. Even to the point of martial law mandates. Whatever it takes to win and get your way and destroy.

It looks like Wikileaks / Adrian Assange is getting too close to exposing this den of snakes and that obongo is going to do something stupid that will endanger all of us to cover it up or divert attention. He and hrc are claiming that the Russians have hacked the information that is being released and are preparing for a cyber attack on Russia. That will turn out badly. Very badly. We probably can’t imagine just how precarious and crazy things are behind the scenes.

So has the world’s reliance on electronics reached the point where cyber-war needs to honor the concept of “Mutually Assured Destruction?”

-- There's more to it than that. If the e-mail leaks don't stop it will just seem that the cyber offensive failed. The hackers will obviously call their bluff. --

I don't know if you believe that or are pulling my leg. I'll assume it's sarcasm.

The public wouldn't know if the CIA perpetrated a cyber attack, and it would know if it didn't. No change at all in the way the network world appears.

The CIA and other government agents, on both sides, are continuously probing each other, including via network. So are literally hoards of private hackers - it's potentially lucrative criminal activity.

Great comments over at ZH.

Bottom line—in a cyberwar we are much more vulnerable than the Russians.

Imagine how Americans would handle closed bank ATMs, shut-down of food stamps and other .gov benefits, etc.

Plus—we did hack Iran’s computers at their nuclear sites, so it is hypocritical of us to whine about cyberwar.

Next week will be another crazy one—be nice to everyone you meet because folks will be stressed.

” .... and leaves the rest of us alone.”


One thing the thug in the White House should realize is that he would be alone. Our nation and military wouldn’t support his sorry muzzie ass.

George W. Bush had good relations with Putin and Russia before leaving office. Obama and Hillary did their silly “reset.” You can bet that so much of obama and hillary’s policy has been influenced by the muslim brotherhood. Instead of wiping out ISIS, obama, hillary, and the muslim brotherhood would prefer we be at odds with Russia.

Yeah well Mr. Obama - that’s going to be all that more difficult now that we handed control of the internet over to everyone else.

Nice job moron.

...or maybe it was deliberate for this reason?

Oh, the Current Occupant thinks this is all going to be “Bloodless”.

Sooner or later, there is going to be blood, and lots of it, on the floor.

And not much of it will be the Russians’.

Is anybody familiar with the term, “Opening up a can of Whup-Azz”?

Nasty stuff, it ends up pretty much damaging everybody in the room.

The actual objective of all of this is to take down the internet.

if the Russians do not succeed in doing so then our own slimy, secret operatives will do so, then blame the Russians.

Then, amidst the digital chaos:

“Hillary won BY A HAIR..!!!”

Simple.

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever!...

Didn’t Obama just GIVE AWAY control of the internet???

How on earth is Obama supposed to dominate the battlefield of this war which he just quick-claimed over to the UN????

Guess Obama can’t find an aspirin factory to bomb as Clinton did, so conjuring up a cyber war will have to do.

Yes. Obama is using the made up story that the Russians are behind the Wikileaks releases and interfering with the U.S. election.

Time to go to war for Hillary.

What nonsense the Dems can dream up.

He hates to leave, says Americans are forcing him out.

Obama’s plan is to stay in office 8-10 years (his estimate).

He’ll do anything to achieve his nefarious goals.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a ‘wag the dog’ move to show leadership for Hillary?
