Biden threatens cyber response against Putin and gives him a 'red-line list' of 16 no-hack infrastructure locations - then snaps at press and says is NOT confident the Russian president will change
Daily Mail ^

Biden walked up to the reporter, with his suit jacket off on an unusually hot day, and accused her of not knowing her business – gesticulating while holding his Ray-Ban sunglasses.

'When did I say I was confident? I said … What I said was – let’s get it straight,' Biden intoned. 'I said what will change their behavior is if the rest of the world reacts to them and it diminishes their standing in the world. I’m not confident of anything. I’m just stating the facts.'

In separate, back-to-back press conferences after their sit down, both leaders expressed satisfaction with the outcome of their meeting and described their conversations in positive terms.

But it was on the area of ransomware attacks that have the potential to knock out critical infrastructure where Biden sought to provide the most specific readout of what he told Putin, as he carried out a plan to try to make the U.S.-Russia relationship more 'predictable.'

Biden said he had 'told President Putin we need some basic rules of the road that we can all abide by', adding that 'I did what I came to do.'

He said he gave the Russian president a list of 16 specific entities that should 'be off limits to attack, period, by cyber or any other means,' He didn't name the items on the list but described them as 'critical infrastructure.'

'I talked about the proposition that certain critical infrastructure should be off limits to attack, period' Biden said, 'by cyber or any other means. I gave them a list.'

'I gave them a list. ...16 specific entities defined as critical infrastructure under U.S. policy, from the energy sector to our water system.'

He gave them a list of what not to attack?

Real smart strategic thinking there, Joe.

Putin should have responded:

“If we hack you, you will _know_ it...”

Just 16 specific entities?

So then hacking everything else is okay?

C’mon man we only have 16 critical infrastructure areas on the Biden “no hacking” list

Joe probably told him but hacking is okay when it comes to hacking anything else.

They knew it was the Russkies because the ransom was paid to Putin’s personal bank account....

(some mass media idiot probably believes this...).

Putin should accuse Bidet of being a paranoid Neanderthal conspiracy theorist!

Dementia Joe issuing one of Obama’s meaningless, empty “red lines” threats, which Putin proceeded to ignore anyways without Obama doing anything about it.

So he gave them a list of our most vulnerable targets? Not smart.

Better yet, Putin should say he understands that senile folks sometimes make wild paranoid accusations, so he forgives Bidet.

Externally, world leaders are fawning over groperjoe as he will once again allow them them to abuse and misuse America while lining their and their families’ pockets with American taxpayer dollars.

But behind closed doors they must be scared to death this senile old fool controls the greatest (if diminishing) military force in the history of the world.

It is all fun and games until someone gets nuked.

Europe is used to insane crackpot “leaders”—they had drooling inbred monarchs for centuries.

He just wants a fight.

After all these years it’s now a political imperative that Dims look and talk tough regarding Russia.

It’s all domestic BS.

But it risks unnecessary provocation.
