President Biden told reporters Wednesday he gave President Vladimir Putin a list of 16 critical infrastructure entities that are "off limits" to a Russian cyberattack.
Those entities include energy, water, health care, emergency, chemical, nuclear, communications, government, defense, food, commercial facilities, IT, transportation, dams, manufacturing and financial services.
"We'll find out whether we have a cybersecurity arrangement that begins to bring some order," Biden said. Putin, for his part, denied any involvement in a recent spate of cyberattacks that have hit major industries across the U.S.
"I looked at him. I said, ‘How would you feel if ransomware took on the pipelines from your oil fields?’ He said, ‘It would matter.’ This is not about just our self-interest." the president said.
Biden refused to say if military action was on the table if Russia was found to be responsible for a ransomware attack.
"In terms of the red line you laid down is military response an option for a ransomware attack?" a reporter asked.
"Thank you very much," Biden said as he abruptly tried to end the shorter-than-expected conference. "No, we didn't talk about military response," he said when pressed again.
Too many questions....1. Why 16, why not tell Putin that EVERYTHING is off limits to cyber attack? 2. Who gave biden the list and told him to give it to Putin? 3. What were the 16 pieces listed? 4.What was the intention of handing Putin such a list? 5. Was it meant to be reverse psychology "Oh no, don't throw America into the briar patch". 6. Did some dimocrat think this was a new type of ground breaking diplomacy (and he's probably patting himself on the back)? 7. Have biden and his handlers finally lost ALL of their marbles? 8. How hard did Putin laugh? Telling your enemy what they can't attack,....oh yea that works all the time. It's even worse than telling an angry woman to calm down. I still can't believe this actually happened. WTH!?
Telling your, stronger, enemy where they can't attack,...Oh yea that works all the time. That's a tactic the Army taught us in NCO Leadership schools. "Wait! Wait! TIME OUT! You can't attack that! OK?" And thats how it's done. The only thing worse is telling a pissed off woman to CALM DOWN!
Let me guess, Joe handed Vlad the list just as Vlad took a drink of vodka and it made him blow good vodka out of his nose. Right?
This is right up there with obama giving the russians the EXACT number of nuclear warheads that we have.
Honestly, I'm still trying to convince myself this was a story from the Babylon Bee and not true. It really is that unbelievable, that absurd. Come on MAN! This didn't really happen did it?
Exactly, what about everything else ? Biden is a clown.
Jill’s idea ? LOL
Brain dead for Biden to do that. ALWAYS keep your enemies guessing.
President bubble gum brain’s prog handlers are absolute idiots.
EVERYTHING is off limits.
Any attacks should be met with full force defense.
No “exceptions.”
.
Everything else is fair game. Right??
Biden is an idiot.
Biden gave Putin a list of 16 critical infrastructure target entities and all others who read the list. If one of them hits one of the targets Traitor Joe kindly provided all of America’s enemies, it is automatically Russia’s fault.
Biden just gave Putin a list of what to hit first!
So dementia joe basically handed Putin a map of the most important infrastructures here in the USA. If I’m Putin I’m drooling over all the fun I can have.
Whatever.
I hope this administration doesn’t be embarrassing for too long.
5.56mm
Earl of Taint is on a roll today...
So our president gave the president of Russia, Russia, Russia a target list. MSM: yawn.
Highlighting high value targets that will generate the most ransom. Brilliant.
I can’t watch this commie clown show any more. It’s drawn-out and painful.
Exactly, your point #1 was the first thing that came to mind! What in the actual F do Biden and his idiotic handlers think they are doing?
I can’t watch this commie clown show any more. It’s drawn-out and painful.
Xiden just gave Putin a grocery list. What a maroon.
So stupid. Like you I don’t know where to begin.
Putin must think this Biden guy is completely off his rocker. An American President must say that EVERYTHING is off limits. Putin would never say “you can attack anything but this and that”.
