America, under the control of its billionaire political donors, the Deep State, and the military industrial complex, has increasingly become a rogue state that routinely ignores international law to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and perpetuate acts of terrorism around the World.
In the latest example of such criminal behaviour, it has been revealed that America has now planted malware in the systems controlling Russia's electric power grid, threatening hospitals, nuclear power stations, and public transport, while placing millions of lives in jeopardy.
As reported by The New York Times:
The United States is stepping up digital incursions into Russia’s electric power grid in a warning to President Vladimir V. Putin and a demonstration of how the Trump administration is using new authorities to deploy cybertools more aggressively, current and former government officials said.
In interviews over the past three months, the officials described the previously unreported deployment of American computer code inside Russia’s grid and other targets...
The cyber attacks are being justified by claims that Russia has done the same thing to America. But this is questionable and is probably a Deep State meme to stoke up the usual paranoia.
Russia has mainly concentrated on inserting spyware into American systems to gather intelligence information, not malware that is designed to shut down hospitals and systems necessary to the preservation of human life.
Intelligence gathering is a duty of all governments, especially when facing threats from rogue states like the US. However, the move by America is a clear escalation:
Since at least 2012, current and former officials say, the United States has put reconnaissance probes into the control systems of the Russian electric grid.
But now the American strategy has shifted more toward offense, officials say, with the placement of potentially crippling malware inside the Russian system at a depth and with an aggressiveness that had never been tried before. It is intended partly as a warning, and partly to be poised to conduct cyberstrikes if a major conflict broke out between Washington and Moscow.
On the 11th June, President Trump’s national security adviser, John R. Bolton, said the United States was now taking this more aggressive and threatening approach to intimidate Russia:
"To say to Russia, or anybody else that’s engaged in cyberoperations against us, ‘You will pay a price.'"
Stop talking in code, John. Just say you want to kill everybody in the World who isn't a slave of the Neocons. Just be honest. We'll respect you more.
