All the so-called off-limits targets Biden emphasized to Putin are U.S. targets that have been discussed publicly for YEARS as being vulnerable to cyber attacks.
The discussions are in newspapers, academic journals, and House and Senate speeches—to mention only the most prominent of a score of sources. They are NOT SECRET. They are OBVIOUS.
What is also obvious to those who have the patriotism and the wit to look is the entrenched opposition of all the “good-citizen” corporations who would rather have their eyes poked out with hot needles than spend 1¢ to protect the vulnerable infrastructure they control.
Colonial Pipeline and the massive meat processor JBS are just two example THAT WE’VE HEARD OF. No valid, sufficient cyber-attack deterrents were in place. Such a policy is exactly like the greedy, unethical physician who finds it cheaper to opt out of malpractice insurance than pay the premiums. “Let them sue me. I don’t care. Everything is in my spouse’s/kids’ name.”
How many more cyber attacks, cyber attacks kept secret from the affected public, are there nationwide?
Corporate management and directors lie relentlessly rather than reveal their incompetence when it comes to protecting their shareholders’ property and profits. They’re in charge, so, unless the breach is so massive as to be utterly beyond management’s and directors’ control, it’s unlikely they would go public, hat in hand, to ask for help because they’ve screwed up SO BREATHTAKINGLY.
Look at the irrefutable incompetence of those in charge of Texas’s electric grid: millions deprived of electricity because executives and directors preferred taking profits to taking care.
In the midst of all the above, Lester-the-Shill is utterly silent when it comes to corporate citizenship, to corporate responsibility, to corporate duty. The hypocrisy is manifest and undeniable.

Well at least he didn’t give him the launch codes, now that would be just plain stupid.

At least he didn’t say he believed Putin over his own intelligence community.

There already is a Geneva Convention. What’s wrong with trying to work out a new one?

I wonder how much “the big guy” got for supplying those targets.
