    So this is the first story I read about this that specified “offensive”. Yes it’s risky, but I don’t see how we can be outraged at other states hacking into us when we are doing it to them, and doing it first. We have to stop escalating, and yes, nation states may exploit de-escalation. Perhaps if we could and will focus on defensive cybersec consistently, others may consider it.

      That makes sense only if it’d apply to every nation, not just Russia. Us selecting only them for a reprieve shows favoritism.

        Sure. But it also serves as an experiment.

          And will never happen with a competent administration. You have to know what they are doing on their end in order to defend on our end.

          Donald Trump is pausing it because that’s what Putin wants and with Trump and Maga wanting to forever remain in power it would make Putin’s job a lot easier to rig our elections to keep his American cronies in power. Putin runs the U. S. There is no doubt but our current administration must have at least a small shred of denial in case this goes south before MAGA can eliminate the constitution and the constraints it puts on the government.

          It’s cute that you think Trump is doing it for any reason other than his and his Russian bosses own ambition.

      People in this thread acting like it’s OK for the US to try and hack the Kremlin, and that it isn’t escalatory behavior. At all. Lol.
