“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.”

Russia has dozens of spies in critical positions now, so there's no use of "protection" anymore. It's over.

Because trump has been a russian asset since 1987

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).

Kinda looks like Trump is wanting to be Ruler of North America and wants Putin to be Ruler of Eurussia. Maybe that's what the Ukraine "peace talks" were about.

@remington Bro is a national security threat. You should impeach him and charge him with high treason asap.

[–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Agreed, but if that were even possible then we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with and Trump would be in jail for his failed Jan 6th putsch.

[–] petrescatraian@libranet.de 6 points 1 week ago

@Sauerkraut true 🙁 forgot about that. I feel bad about you, really!

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 week ago

Oh, then I guess all the malware, spyware, and stolen-identity stories that I read about in security articles were wrong. That's a relief.

"They hate the US and are still mad about losing the cold war. Pretending otherwise won’t change this.”

This is cringe af.

[–] jarfil@beehaw.org 18 points 1 week ago

Which part? Putin is a former KGB agent, former FSB director, and has openly stated that he wants to rebuild the USSR.

[–] yozul@beehaw.org 4 points 1 week ago

It is. I mean, it's also true, but it is pretty cringe.
