So Obama placed the nuclear equivalent of a false 911 call?
How many more days left? Can’t come soon enough.
I know the word "blog" is anathema to certain sphincters on this site, but this one has a lot of inside info on the NSA, COMSEC and SIGINT. Very informative reading.
Obama used a cybersecurity link for the first time to warn Russia"Shortly before the recent US presidential election, a dedicated cybersecurity hotline with Moscow was used by president Obama to warn the Russian government not to interfere with the election process through hacking operations.
Press reports compared the cybersecurity with the "Red Phone", which many people believe is used on the Hotline between Washington and Moscow. That's not true, and also Obama's message seems not to have been transmitted by phone, but through an e-mail channel which is maintained by the Nuclear Risk Reduction Center (NRRC).
...
Usage
As the press reports say that Obama's message was sent via the NRRC, we have to assume that it was in the form of an e-mail, and not a call through the secure voice channel. It was also reported that "the Obama administration had never used the cyber line before", but it's not really clear whether that means that the president never sent a message this way, or that the system was never used in any way.
The latter would mean that since 2013 no information about suspicious network intrusions has been exchanged between Russia en the US. The secure voice line for cybersecurity incidents has then probably also never been used - this kind of high-level direct phone lines seem rarely used in general."

If you’d said “twenty-eight” that would be closer to the mark.
If you’d said “one hundred fifty one” you’d hit the bullseye.
None of the states ever agreed to be subservient provinces of an Imperial Washington. But that is exactly what the case has been since Lincoln broke the compact.
some one will take him out after Trump is sworn in
Amen!
Red, that is what people always say—”it can’t happen here”. I think you might be a few shades naïve. All of these acts involve many variables; such goes without saying.
You are probably right, but I do remember that it was dimocRATS that orchestrated the Gulf of Tonkin incident to justify the Vietnam war. No telling what a deranged crowd of pond scum will do.
Even the liberals that I know, some very, think this ‘Russians hacked us’ meme is stupid and embarrassing.................
The following part of this post:
“During the conversation Barack Obama reportedly even used the phrase, “armed conflict” when warning Vladimir Putin to stop hacking emails...”
made me leery of believing the entire post. Reportedly by who?
We should all keep in mind that both sides of the aisle are going to run with the Russian angle, if it’s true or not, because they are all crapping their pants about having their emails made public.
Heck he told Vladdie to ‘cut it out’!
There is ‘red phone’ service, which is an encrypted telephone to our own and NATO powers. However, this is not the same as the secure data link to Russia which has always been teletype, or printed words. If you are threatening war, or trying to stop one, the precision of written communications is essential. Still, I shudder at his ability to create a crises out of nothing.
When Obama threatened “armed conflict”, hopefully he meant that he would send all of the brave street soldiers who keep shooting up the streets of Chicago. One hand to hold the gun sideways, and the other hand to hold up their pants.
Obama and Hitlery are trying to start a war with Russia asap and my guess is to impose martial law to change the e
Oh, see the Duck! Quack! Quack! said the duck.
It would be funny if Putin’s men kidnapped Obama and sent
Trump a note asking what to do with him, then delivering him in diapers to the White House and its new occupant.
Little baby child is long past the point where he should have had his mouth slapped and his butt spanked.
People, our enemy is the media which made this fool possible. They covered up his stupidity and insanity and presented him as the second coming of Jesus.
The media needs to be beaten to death with sledgehammers for putting this cretin on the world stage.
A "Mouthy little child" is the best description of Obama.
He is the "little brat" president.
This is completely incorrect. Yes, Obama is indeed stupid. If you've studied his life history as have I, you realize this man is a moron who only got by in life by being black and playing the race card.
Obama can't even manage his own money.
Obama is an idiot. He has always been an idiot, and he shall always bee an idiot.
This sounds like Bammy trying to fix his legacy with Fake Stories.
Trump needs to assure the World that sanity is coming.
