“It’s incomprehensible to give a speech about threats in cyberspace and not mention Russia and it’s delusional to think this will turn Russia and the FSB [the Russian security agency] into our friends,” said James Lewis, a veteran cyber expert formerly of the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank in Washington. “They hate the US and are still mad about losing the cold war. Pretending otherwise won’t change this.”

Someone mentioned that to me, but said the story had been attempted scrubbed from the web — anyone have a link?

Edit — Never mind, nothing was scrubbed, that was the shortest Google search I ever did 😅

He started taking out full page ads saying the US needs to pull out of NATO in 1987 too

Slightly unrelated — was watching a Danish military analyst's commentary on the farcical white house shit-show the other day, and he had this really great line (I'll paraphrase): "The interesting thing with [Chump] isn't what he's going to do next, it's what he'll do when it fails" 😂

Video link for those interested (quite good, and in English).
