US prepped for massive cyber assault on Russia
NY POST ^ | October 15, 2016 | Joe Tacopino

Posted on 10/15/2016 5:47:01 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

The Obama administration is threatening to launch a vast cyber war against Russia in response to the country’s alleged interference with the presidential election.

Vice President Joe Biden told NBC News Friday that “we’re sending a message” to Russian President Vladimir Putin and that the wide-ranging “clandestine” cyber operation will take place.

“We’re sending a message,” Biden said during an interview with “Meet the Press” that will air on Sunday. “We have the capacity to do it. It will be at the time of our choosing, and under the circumstances that will have the greatest impact,”

The vice president belittled Russia’s alleged interference in the US election but stressed their efforts, however futile, would be responded in kind.

“Their capacity to fundamentally alter the election is not what people think,” Biden said.

“And I tell you what, to the extent that they do we will be proportional in what we do.”

It was not clear whether the American public would be alerted when or if an attack actually took place. When asked about whether the public would even be aware an attack took place Biden simply said “Hope not.”

Intelligence officials told NBC News that CIA has already begun “opening cyber doors, selecting targets and making other preparations for an operation.”

James Stavridis, a retired four-star Navy admiral who served as the supreme allied commander at NATO, told NBC that the CIA should “embarrass” the Kremlin by exposing financial dealings of Putin and his cronies.

I don’t get why Russia is an enemy either. There is no reason for us to attack Russia and theoretically Russia should be a great ally, not an assigned enemy. I am sick and tired of neocons eagerly assigning the role of enemy to those who according to logic, should be our greatest allies.

If you were supposed to be sparring then he was a piece of sh##.

I’ve been on both sides of sparring, the better opponent an the worse opponent. I NEVER went all out on those I was better than and no one ever went all out on me and some of them could have literally KILLED me.

What a jerk.

Now the REAL matches, those sucked!! :) Losing record but i’ll never say how bad.

Helped my bar fights through my 20s though.

“This is complete and utter madness. The only ‘interfering’ with the election process is that HRC and the DNC, the President and all his lackeys are being outed. It doesn’t take the Russians to do that.”

I agree. I really think this is just smoke and mirrors to cover HRC and her minions butts.

When the rats hack our elections they can blame it on the Russians. They are already planting the seeds of their cover story.

Bar fights.

I made an interesting discovery during one bar fight. Do you know the a full bottle of Chevis doesn't shatter like fine china when you crack a guy on the head with one?

Anyway, yeah, that shouldn't have happened, as you say, and I may have done a tad better had I known he would be going flat out. But, it sure taught me that there's a world of difference between trying to box, learning to box, and being a boxer.

Regards

Hey man, yuu had the guts to get in there. That’s big in my book.

And yeah, bottles dont break lie they do in old westerns :)

Got hit with a 12 ounce bud, no shatter.

I get a kick out of cardio boxing. I’m glad it helps people get in shape, but if they think it’s preparing them for self defense, they’re in for a HUGE shock.

After a broken rib, broken nose and fractured cheekbone, amidst growing headaches, I stopped boxing after a number of years, going on about 22 years now :)

Is it possible to be transparently full of crap? Biden and this regime are history’s greatest test case.

I wonder if Martha Radditz,biased moderator, thinks there is a reason Biden blabbed US intentions ahead of the attack.

What a couple of idiots.

Crap can only be transparent (sort of)if it’s diarrhea of the mouth.

Oh of course, WHAT could possibly go wrong?

Yet they can’t find anything on Hillary and The Clinton Foundation (Comey and co.).

Who would like a banana in this republic, comrades?

Why did Biden threaten Russia? — What the hell are we doing? Why would we cyber attack Russia? there is absolutely no proof of Russia is behind the hacks of the much need Emails on Wikileaks. Am I missing something? Surely this is not about Syria. No link? What are we doing?

[Am I missing something?]

October Surprise by Obama to cover for Hillary’s crimes.

If they lose, they could lose real big. So, don’t put anything past these people. 4 people that were enemies of Hillary, and/or had damning info dropped dead the last 3 months or so.

Just a coincidence, I’m sure.
