Gen. Paul Nakasone, the head of US Cyber Command, told Sky News on Wednesday that the US has been conducting “offensive” cyber operations to support Ukraine in its war against Russia.
Nakasone said the US has “conducted a series of operations across the full spectrum; offensive, defensive, information operations.” He didn’t share any details of the cyber operations, but his disclosure is the first time a US official has admitted to launching cyberattacks to support Ukraine in the war.
NATO has stepped up cyber cooperation with Ukraine in recent months by allowing Kyiv to join its cyber defense center, known as the Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE). On Monday, Ukrainian officials met with the CCDCOE steering committee for the first time.
Nakasone’s disclosure is the latest example of US support for Ukraine that risks provoking Moscow. After Russia invaded, President Biden Warned that a Russian cyberattack was “coming,” but so it never materialized.
In recent years, US and NATO officials have signaled they believe cyberattacks could potentially start a war. A few days after Russia invaded Ukraine, a NATO official told Reuters that a cyberattack on an alliance member could trigger Article 5 collective defense clause, which states an attack on one member is an attack on all.
Last year, President Biden said that he believes the US could end up in a “real shooting war” with another power over a cyberattack. “If we end up in a war, a real shooting war with a major power, it’s going to be as a consequence of a cyber breach of great consequence,” he said.
The war is going to be so intense and fast paced when Russia truly comes online with hypersonic missiles on a massive scale that the us will try to have a draft but won’t have time to train their soldiers, they are just going to give them a gun and say “good luck”
How far is Biden willing to go? HE wants a regime change, the biggest one yet, Russia is a nuclear power, Putin a very popular elected president and Biden a befuddled demented old man and he wants a big Regime change in Russia, when they could not do it in Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, that is a delusion of grandeur and the mental cases around him would not even try to stop him, they are as crazy as he is.
The US/NATO alliance is really at war with Russia, not Ukraine they are cannon fodder, nothing else, Europe is next. If all goes well China will be next. Of course the US has been conducting offensive cyber operations, including hacking email correspondence. Nothing is off the table, if it can be done they do it. How could it be otherwise?
When Iraq was at war with Iran, they had the same service from Reagan. The USA believes in divide and conquer, that is the way they do it. Proxy wars is their specialty.
To be yet more granular; a US/NATO alliance wielded by a tiny minority of US/Israeli Neocons willing to waste not only the Ukraine, but even the populations of the entire alliance to achieve their goal of global empire.
Yes, the US/NATO controls the EU governments and the economies, its HQ is in Brussels. The Biden administration is a monster with blood all over it. Biden is the worst president ever.
An act of war by the US.
Add it to the (very long) list on a long list of victim countries.
US Has Been Supporting Ukraine With ‘Offensive’ Cyber Operations
An act of war, according to the US!
For me it is becoming increasingly clear every day that both Putin and Biden have blundered gigantically albeit sequentially.
Putin’s blunder was that he thought or hoped to take Kyiv on the run. That failed because the forces he used were miserably prepared hence inadequate for that task.
Putin’s blunder of Kyiv created a kind of “hip-hip-hurrah” mood in NATO. The Ukranians stopped Putin and are pushing the Russians back everywhere! They are going to win this war!
From his statements at that time I deduce that Biden walked into this hip-hip-hurrah world with his eyes closed to reality because, as he could have expected, the Russians regrouped and are now in the process of pushing the Ukrainians out of the Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts. According to Zelenski they have taken 20% of Ukraine’s territory and that does not count Crimea.
Apparently US-NATO-Ukraine plan to regroup by increasing the fire-and-destruction power and intelligence gathering of the Ukrainian army. Has Putin prepared for it? At least he has had a warning for several weeks already.
So both Putin and Biden are stuck in a political and military morass created mostly by Zelenski. A very dangerous morass. And neither seems to have any ideas of how to get out of that dangerous morass.
Talks must now begin immediately but not between Zelenski and Putin because Zelenski is a US-NATO puppet. Biden and Putin must get together and talk after substantial but fast preparations by their representatives.
From Shaky: “and some have greatness thrust upon ’em.” Mr. President, let the saving of lives thrust greatness upon you. Be the first to call for a meeting with Putin on Ukraine and European security regardless of the consequences for your political future.
A nice and generous thought, but President Biden does not stand tall, he is smallminded. Former SoS Kissinger tried to crack the Biden door a little bit with a hint of Realpolitik, Biden and his Russophobe team did not get it. They believe their own lies. They don’t care about the price the Ukrainian people have to pay, they are expandable proxies. The same is true for the NATO member states. Europe means nothing to the Americans. But for Russia it is an existential issue, NATO was created to keep Russia out, small and weak. Putin stopped that. That is why he is popular with the Russian people, they trust him, he is one of them.
That is basic, but the Russophobes only know how to demonize Putin and only fool themselves by doing that. It is Biden’s war, he goes back to the Regime Change in 2014. He was a two terms Obama’s VP years of experience and politics but he learned nothing, he supported every war that came along including Iraq. The Afghan retreat was one big mess too, he learned nothing.
