Insider: The Kremlin has reportedly told Russian officials to throw away their iPhones by the end of the month 

* Some Russian officials were advised to ditch their iPhones, Russian newspaper Kommersant reported. 

* Officials close to the presidential administration were reportedly told to get new phones by April. 

* The order comes amid information-security concerns ahead of Russia's presidential election, per Kommersant. 

Some Russian officials were advised by the Kremlin to ditch their Apple iPhones by the end of March over information-security concerns, the Russian business publication Kommersant first reported. 

The directive took place during a seminar in the Moscow region earlier this month, according to the Russian newspaper, which cited sources present at the meeting. 

Officials were told to replace their iPhones with phones built on other smartphone software, such as Android, Chinese counterparts, or Aurora, an operating system developed by the Russian company Open Mobile Platform, the publication reported.

The war expands. We are on pace to have two large opposing bodies in the world - both wanting to dominate it. Oh well, guess I will have to remove China and Russia from my bucket list.

It is probably good advice. If you are an american patriot/conservative/republican and plan to go to a protest or speak out against the so called masters, you probably shouldn't have an iPhone.
