Russia says it is starting to resume U.S. cyber cooperation: TASS

Source: Reuters

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia and the United States are gradually starting to resume cooperation on cyber security, TASS news agency cited the head of Russia’s FSB Federal Security Service as saying on Thursday.

Russia’s bilateral relations with the United States are at post-Cold War lows, strained by an array of issues including U.S. allegations that Russia meddled in the U.S. 2016 presidential election.

“...we are restoring these (cyber security) relations,” FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov said.

"The voting systems are this way, Mr. Putin."

"Why, thank you Mr. President. I am in your debt."

"You mean, I'm not in yours anymore!?"

He'll win in a landslide, of course. Then I will not be upset. I'll be armed, and heading to the coming revolution.

This isn't going to go down the way they hope.

A shrug and a c'est la vie by those not willing to help out, isn't going to sit well, either. You know the saying about "good people" standing by doing nothing... Well then, they aren't that "good", are they?

This fence will not be one that you can straddle. When the shit hits the fan, we are ALL going to have shit all over us. We best be prepared (probably not grammatically correct, but I have heard it all my life, and it gets the point across).
