CNN Business)The standoff between the United States and Russia over the conflict in Ukraine has so far mainly played out on diplomatic and economic fronts.

But now, as Russia invades Ukraine and the United States imposes new sanctions on Russia, there are concerns that may change. The US government is on high alert for the possibility of the conflict spilling over into cyberspace, where Russia has shown an ability to cause significant disruption and damage in the past.

On Tuesday, a senior FBI cyber official warned US businesses and local governments that they should be vigilant against potential ransomware attacks, just days after multiple US agencies issued a similar warning to executives at major US banks, according to people with knowledge of both meetings.

Russia just needs to take down something like Amazon Web Services or a major Internet backbone provider. The chaos that ensues could be frightening.

I saw some jackass posting a Kyiv under attack video.
It was Israel and Iron Dome.

“Is this going to affect football?”

“Can I still get my pot?”

‘Is Brittany going to show us her boobs?”

“Does this mean the gay pride parade is cancelled?”

The important stuff.

A movie, like “Network”, that gets more relevant with each passing year.

A real American first president would withdraw from any nuclear treaties with Russia. That’s just for starters.

Well, I’ve been hearing this from a number of FReepers, df, but I just read Putin’s words this morning, announcing his actions.

He has decided to go in, so why should we think reports of various Russian attacks are fake?

Use Occam’s razor here. Putin announces he’s going into Ukraine, militarily, to remove what he calls the Neo-nazis Ukrainian government. You know Putin is not like Biden—all talk, no action—no, Putin is a man of action.

He has a war-plan and it is to use overwhelming force and take the objectives as quickly as possible. The Russian military is following his orders.

Again, how do reports of attacks make this a deepfake war? He means what he says, and says what he means.

Already calls to draft Sedition Laws to ban criticism of the Government during “Wartime”.

Dusting off the old Wilsonian playbook.

We all remember Joe’s response to the last big cyber-attack on the oil pipeline last year.

It was a private company so it’s not a national problem...

I thought that was a great flick.
I had never heard of it, then I watched it and wondered why I never heard of it.
On point, with multiple great speeches.
