The Obama administration is contemplating an unprecedented cyber covert action against Russia in retaliation for alleged Russian interference in the American presidential election, U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News.
Current and former officials with direct knowledge of the situation say the CIA has been asked to deliver options to the White House for a wide-ranging "clandestine" cyber operation designed to harass and "embarrass" the Kremlin leadership.

Would this operation be conducted be the same administration that couldn’t build a simple shopping cart system for health insurance?
Or maybe it’s by the administration that coiuldn’t ensure classified email was secured and recorded?
Or maybe this clandestine operation is being conducted by the administration that paid $11 million for an email service it couldn’t use:

Why should we even think they have the technical skills to mount this double-secret-clandestine hacking operation?
Here is my input. Against Obama/Clinton and the rest of the corrupt bastards in DC, I will stand with Russia. I just wish their language was going to be easier to learn.
That is a very ugly and cold looking fish.
BTTT
It’s Wag the Dog Freepers!
The Globalist are panicking over Trump.
Trump is right again...we always broadcast what we’re going to “covertly” do...it is asinine.
I think cyber war by our government is more likely against internet media... against us.
You are so very right.
Bingo! Plus ... it takes attention off the contents of the leaked emails.
“A Russian nuke over NYC, LA, SF, Chicago, Seattle or any city in a blue state will instantly turn that state red.”
I am having trouble seeing a downside to this.
Actually it will turn it black from carbonized buildings, plants and humans.
Exactly correct.
Question for anyone with at least half a brain:
Who relies more on the Internet and data communications to do essential business in the world, The USA or Russia?
Image if we lost our networking infrastructure in a hot cyber war? I’m not talking banking or financial data, but just the network everything travels over...
Where would Walmart point of sale registers connect to to restock the shelves? How about Krogers? Albertstons? Winn Dixie?
Check out a modern grocery store. No warehouse. Just a small area in the back with over stocked items ready to put on shelves when there’s room, but no longer a ginormous warehouse with crates of food... Because the USA uses just-in-time inventory everywhere. Trucks are dispatched by computer to restock when items are almost low or gone, rather than wait around to find room to unload them.
What about the sensors that tell a gas station that the buried fuel tank is getting low? Could the trucks even run to resupply? Many gas stations don’t even have that long stick to measure how much gas they have because it’s all computerized...
What if the hit the utility networks? No water, no sewage, no electricity? No natural gas?
IT would be a DISASTER. Food would RUN out in the big cities. I’m serious. Total shutdown roving bands of hungry Yutes...
This is insane.
Even if they were, isn’t it sort of dumb to tell your enemy your prepping for an attack on them???
They are bad guys, as are the demonRats.
I can’t freaking believe this crap...I mean I believe it, I just don’t believe it. That and coupled with that we are reportedly at Defcon 3 Jeez. And I am a long way from home. Just three more days is all I need...
I remember the old saying back in the pre-Y2k days from a poster who’s name I can’t remember but his tag line was “If You Live Within Five Miles of a 7-11, You are Toast...”
I am too old for this sh*z time to dust off the blunderbust I suppose.
Syria has the key world peace or World War III...
“Syria has the key to the solution of world peace or the Third World War.” - Our Lady of the Roses, May 30, 1981
The “Masters of the Universe” inside of the Beltway are not happy with Russia. The PNAC plan will proceed, or else.
Putin stood up to our proxy forces in Syria. Therefore, Russia must become America’s enemy. Obama and Hillary are puppets in their camp.
The neocons pushing for WW 3 are THE evil ones....
