Would like to know anyone’s thoughts on this:
“Moscow views cyber disruptions as a foreign policy lever to shape other countries’ decisions and continuously refines and employs its espionage, influence, and attack capabilities against a variety of targets,” the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in its 2024 threat assessment. “Russia maintains its ability to target critical infrastructure, including underwater cables and industrial control systems, in the United States as well as in allied and partner countries.
I think Republicans are paving the way for Russian hackers to rig our elections going forward, including the 2026 midterms. Facilitating crypto and dismantling protections against money laundering are also part of this strategy. There is no more American democracy. Republicans are in power now, and they’re not letting go of it.
So we are going to stop trying to hack them ? I guess it makes sense as long as they stop trying to hack us . Its a step in opening up diplomatic channels
Trump knows the States is a failing power, they desperately need other countries resources to keep up with China longterm. In his mind it’s either work with Russia, or take others resources. I’ve never seen a more desperate leader in my lifetime.
Do you need it to be more obvious?
Sweet, maybe less bots and censorship on Reddit. I totally believe it was just to stop “Russian disinformation” – ya know, just like Hunter Biden laptop.
thank God we can always rely on “an official familiar with the matter”
Ah yes, publically order the halt of such sensitive operations. See folks!? We halted! 😑
