Mitt Romney demanded Sunday that the U.S. response to the Russia cyber attack be 'of like magnitude or greater' as he slams President Donald Trump for claiming the hack was actually from China.
'What Russia has done is put in place a capacity to potentially cripple us in terms of our electricity, our power, our water, our communications,' the Utah senator told CNN's 'State of the Union' Sunday morning.
'This is the same thing you can do in a wartime setting, so it's extraordinarily dangerous, and an outrageous affront on our sovereignty and one that's going to have to be met with a strong response,' Romney continued.
'Not just rhetorical, important as that is, but also with a cyber response of like magnitude or greater.'

If Russia committed the attack the announced retaliation, sanctions, is not going to scare the Russian oligarchs. Privately, they will scoff.
But Congress critters can take another whack at hurting US industries.

China, Brasil, India, Australia, Germany, Britain or someone will pick up the slack. The how do we get the market share back?
While people in the US might suffer, when their industry gets hit, there will always be political connected deals for the Kerry's and The Biden's.
I think this so called hack is a Democrat party/fake news distraction - to the extent it happened at all.
What would Russia gain from doing this? To poke the eye of an incoming Dem admin who has done nothing but vilify them for 4 years.
On the other hand China has nothing to lose. They own Biden and most Democrats. What would they do, if anything? So if there actually was a hack, China should be the main suspect.
Coming from you, that's rich indeed!
