2. Cyber Warfare! Just Think...
Fri Mar 10, 2017, 04:59 AM

In so many ways, a kinder, gentler, and more humane type of warfare than the old, messy kind. No blood spilled, no lives lost. Just lives and reputations ruined. Rationalizations like these are probably what go through the heads of people like Putin and his armies of cyber trolls as they hack America. One thing that is amply evident from watching this video is how unmanaged and out of control our vast and sprawling cyber intelligence operations have become, and how badly we need to rein things in and bring them under some kind of centralized loyalty and control. But unfortunately, I would NOT want to trust things or put them into the hands of this administration to bring our cyber intelligence house back into order. Not only do I have little confidence that the current administration is inherently capable of bringing anything back into order, and secondly - under whose order would they be brought???
