    The Ukraine war showed the real skillset of Russias cyber force. They were a big failure.

    Does this de-escalation mean I'll stop getting the Toll Scam text messages?

    That's part of this. US is assisting Ukraine against Russian cyber attacks ... not anymore. The timing of this right after the Trump/Vance petulant child ouburst at Zelenskyy, too...

    Oh, trust me, I do.

    You are trying to make the case that China is the greater threat, but you DON'T want to deter them by making sure Ukraine wins the war against its ally, Russia?

    Now make your point that you supposedly have about "China being the greater threat" make sense.

    Ahh, you couldn't, unless of course you believe Russia is now our ally.

    They did a great job of electing Trump in 2016 and then someone who isn't even eligible to be president (Musk) in 2024, so the same might be said of us.

    Why is Hegseth putting this information out there? Announcing our strategic intentions to everyone and his babushka seems like an open invitation for Russia to continue on their merry cyber way, without fear of consequences. This action, although inexplicable and stupid, should be classified. Next they'll announce that our subs will no longer patrol off Russia, and the nukes have been retargeted to Ukraine.

    It's because Donny has to periodically remind Putin how much he loves him. Real Americans are ashamed.

    I don't think that's true. Russia produce a lot of the world's best engineers, physicists and mathematicians. Is cyber warfare unit started slowly but has improved quite a bit and has been effective

    If a screenwriter submitted a script for a movie or a writer submitted a manuscript for a novel in which the plot was centered around a Russian mole who ascended to the presidency of the United States it probably would have been rejected as being too absurd yet it's actually happened.

    John Grisham or David Baldacci could do it justice as a book.

    What is the over/under in weeks it takes for Trump to rescind the Russian embargos and sanctions?

    You know he wants to. But there are still the EU sanctions that will not be lifted, plus Australia, Canada & Japan.

    It’s almost as if the new administration is resolved to make friends with a superpower that should never have been anathamatized.

    Apparently Senators need to read Too Hot to get updated information.
