Konstantin Eggert, DW: US-Russian cyberwar just getting started
The US has figured out, correctly, that Russia's president only respects force. But after the revelations of US cyberattacks against Russian targets, Vladimir Putin will surely retaliate, says DW's Konstantin Eggert.
According to The Washington Post, the recently established US Army Cyber Command completely blocked internet services to the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersburg — better known as the Kremlin's troll factory on the day of the US Midterms in November.
The agency is said to be financed by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a billionaire businessman believed to be close to Vladimir Putin. He is also thought to be the main backer of Russian mercenaries in eastern Ukraine, Syria and Africa. The agency — reported to be behind Russia's interference in the 2016 US presidential election as well as a host of other malicious activities in Western cyberspace — was, the paper reported, completely blocked which triggered confusion and panic among its management.

WNU Editor: This "war" has been ongoing for a very long time.
Russia has great programmers and thinkers... BUT... the money is in the US... and they aren't lightweights either.. my money is on the US. Especially once Putin is gone.. much of Russia's new "flair" is because of him, we have to admit that. But, debt is debt in Russia too, and they cannot go that speed much longer, spending billions and billions... the Russian economy is tiny, smaller than Texas' economy (or as others have pointed out, about the size of Italy - a poor country in the EU)... and they are no longer the oil and gas giants they used to be either, with the US now controlling the prices. And they still have sh*tty weather, a mafia like political system and so much crime they certainly won't be making a lot of money through tourism haha so yeah, time for the Russian economy to divest, or go through another bankruptcy soon

ReplyDeleteAt the end of the day gays are better off with a bunch of Christians than a bunch of liberals.
ReplyDelete1st there is the pro-life deal.
2nd, there is the thou shall not murder. (For some reason liberals hate the 10 commandments with a passion).
It won't be all peaches and cream, but they are better off with Christians than liberals.
