While Democracies Lecture, Their Adversaries Run Free:

 

Team Biden confuses stern statements with progress on China, Russia and Iran.

 

It all sounded very impressive and was certainly a greater display of unity than former President Donald Trump ever managed to produce.

 

Yet China and Russia appear unimpressed, as does Iran. Russia turned from consolidating its hold over Belarus to tightening the crackdown on internal dissent. China proceeded with the systematic destruction of Hong Kong’s liberties while moving forward with its ominous naval buildup. Iranian ships bearing mysterious cargos plowed steadily across the Atlantic toward its allies in the Western Hemisphere.

 

 

The harsh reality is that the U.S. and its allies are losing ground to their adversaries, and the balance of power is moving sharply against us.

 

Worse, many Western leaders seem to have forgotten what it means to win.

 

They’ve been paid to forget.

Putin, Xi, Khamenei, all laugh in the face of frail, confused Biden.  What a mess.

I don’t think biden said that. He probably said “You know that thing, you know, that thing that, you know, does that thing. Come on man!”

Why would Trump need to say that to Putin?  Russia never attacked us like that when he was President.


Besides the obvious election interference - where have you been the past four years?

 

What We Know About Russia's Alleged Hack Of The U.S. Government And Tech Companies

 

Trump downplays severity of cyber attack and avoids blaming Russia

 

What BALLS big bad Trump has - can’t even admit it was Russia…

 

In 2016, the release of hacked emails belonging to the Democratic National Committee, John Podesta, and Colin Powell, among others, through DCLeaks and WikiLeakswas said by private sector analysts[63] and US intelligence services[64] to have been of Russian origin.[65][66] Also, in December 2016, Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Committee on Armed Services called for "a special select committee to investigate Russian attempts to influence the presidential election".[67][68]

 

In 2018, the United States Computer Emergency Response Team released an alert warning that the Russian government was executing "a multi-stage intrusion campaign by Russian government cyber actors who targeted small commercial facilities' networks where they staged malware, conducted spear phishing, and gained remote access into energy sector networks." It further noted that "[a]fter obtaining access, the Russian government cyber actors conducted network reconnaissance, moved laterally, and collected information pertaining to Industrial Control Systems."[69] The hacks targeted at least a dozen U.S. power plants, in addition to water processing, aviation, and government facilities.[70]

In June 2019, the New York Times reported that hackers from the United States Cyber Command planted malware potentially capable of disrupting the Russian electrical grid.[71]According to Wired senior writer Andy Greenberg, "The Kremlin warned that the intrusions could escalate into a cyberwar between the two countries."[71]

 

Over several months in 2020, a group known as APT29 or Cozy Bear, working for Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service, breached a top cybersecurity firm and multiple U.S. government agencies including the Treasury, Commerce, and Energy departments and the National Nuclear Security Administration.[72]The hacks occurred through a network management system called SolarWinds Orion. The U.S. government had an emergency meeting on 12 December 2020, and the press reported the hack the next day. When Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service performs such hacks, it is typically "for traditional espionage purposes, stealing information that might help the Kremlin understand the plans and motives of politicians and policymakers," according to The Washington Post, and not for the purpose of leaking information to the public.[73]

 

Like Trump said, @Doc - I don't see why it would be Russia

 

Idiots

From what I've seen the Biden/Putin meeting was constructive and productive.  Which is a good thing when staring down 100's of nuclear ICBM's and contending interests.  But is would seem the MSM is disappointed the encounter was not the contentious and hostile interaction they and all the Russia-phobes were demanding. Rather than one as described by the participants as having been constructive and civil.

Yeah, 2016 was before Trump.  And the hacks at the end of 2020 were more of the same.  Maybe Joey should become a stooge of Putin so no more real hacks that severely disrupt us occur? :rolleyes:

Your quote:

Russia most certainly did and Trump defended Putin.

Again they continued doing what they did under Obama because their goal was always to disrupt America.  That's not news, or at least shouldn't be.  And as along as they don't hack into voting machines to actually change votes, it's a far cry from disrupting oil and food delivery.
