A new White House fact sheet highlights the potential for Russia to launch 'malicious cyber activity' in response to sanctions the U.S. imposed on Russia since it invaded Ukraine last month – and the administration is revealing it has seen 'preparatory activity.' 

'I think the President was very clear. We're not looking for a conflict with Russia. If Russia initiates a cyber attack against the United States, we will respond,' said Senior White House cybersecurity official Anne Neuberger, who briefed reporters at the White House on Monday.

So the CIA hackers will attack selected industries in the USA designed to make life difficult for the people, and then blame the attack on Russia, declaring war. The US government under Biden and the Democrat administrations is corrupt and evil beyond measure. Curse you, brainless US Democrat voters for doing this to our nation, voting for these senile old bags.
