Full headline: WHOA: Pentagon inspector general report says Russia, China may have ‘compromised’ U.S. missile detection satellites

Penetration: The Obama era was particularly hard on the U.S. military, as the administration and Congress refused to pass real budgets which prevented the services from investing in high-tech systems, including those designed to protect our most vital assets.

This was again evident after the Department of Defense Inspector General released a report this week saying some of our country’s most important satellites — those the Air Force uses to detect enemy ICBM launches — could be compromised by Russian and Chinese hackers.

Hmmm, was that due to the data the Bubba sold them, or perhaps the data that the Hillfuglybeast sent them, or perhaps the data that Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota baby gave them?

“Tell Vlad I’ll have more flexibility after the election.”

That’s it in a nutshell. Keeping the USA safe is not a priority to leftists. Gaining wealth is their priority .. while all the time blasting the ‘selfish evil rich 1%’ at every opportunity.
