I would classify it as “not a threat to my pursuit of happiness,” unlike communism/socialism/marxism/collectivism
DOD Stand down order?
- Thread starter St. Louis Hawk
- Start date
So, in other words, you admit you're FOS? Got it. Thanks.
Isn't the removal of our deterrence basically telling the Kremlin we won't retaliate for an attack?
Trump is working on that. Give him a year. We have only so much of a tech edge over the Chinese left, and Trump is pissing that away. He also gave China the green light today to take not just Taiwan, but whatever they want in the South China Sea basin.
Reagan wouldn't be welcome in today's GOP
Which is weird because it appears you guys are staunch Russians now
Just came here to post this one...glad I conducted a Pepsi check first. Let me just add that Pete is a...
And anyone who chimes in without direct, first hand experience working a Russian counter intel or cyber ops mission can...
From the article:
The order does not apply to the National Security Agency, which Haugh also leads, or its signals intelligence work targeting Russia, the sources said.
While the full scope of Hegseth’s directive to the command remains unclear, it is more evidence of the White House’s efforts to normalize ties with Moscow after the U.S. and international allies worked to isolate the Kremlin over its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
I remember distinctly under Obama (2011) the DOD decided:
US Pentagon to treat cyber-attacks as 'acts of war'
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-13614125OP's tweet says, "including offensive digital actions"
So my question is, if Biden was authorizing 'offensive digital actions' against Russia, was he waging war on Russia without authorization from Congress?
Should we go ahead and get that authorization and resume 'offensive digital actions' against Russia?
Or is that Obama guidance gone, and we just sort of 'Wild West' whatever countries we want in cyberspace, at the direction of the President, without Congressional authorization?
Putin probably promised Trump to send a couple of Russian hookers over to pee on him.
china only gets taiwan. russia a sliver of ukraine. we get canada and greenland with panama canal and gaza on the side. it’s quite obvious who has the best deal.
Additionally, Putin imprisons or kills anyone who opposes/stands up to him. Russia is a corrupt, shit hole of a country that cannot be trusted.
That is one the reasons why Trump is so enamored with Putin.
Remember ghee’s thread about classification? There are acknowledged SAPs and unacknowledged (by Congress) SAPs… so yeah, there’s always been a gray area. Cyber policy has never been as black and white as people think. The 2011 doctrine you mentioned somewhat set a precedent, but how it’s applied across administrations varies (makes you wonder how much goes on w/o WH or presidential knowledge). As for whether we were ‘waging war’ without authorization, that’s been an ongoing debate between Congress and DoD. Let’s just say I’ve been part of many Title 10 ops, and the legal framework around offensive cyber actions isn’t exactly cut and dry.
As for the ‘order doesn’t apply to NSA’...that’s because NSA operates under Title 50. But don’t confuse intelligence collection (passive) with cyber effects operations (active).
Are you really this dumb?
Nixon wouldn't be welcome, either. Not corrupt enough.
They are too stupid to realize fascism is just as bad or worse. than what they are so afraid of.
