To be sure, this “leak” of what effectively amount to a cyberwar warning was a calculated move meant to provoke further escalation in tensions between the two nations and a trial balloon to gauge Russia’s response. The response came this morning Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that “US aggressiveness is growing, and threats to carry out cyberattacks against Russia are unprecedented” adding that Russia will take “precautionary measures.”
“The fact is, US unpredictability and aggression keep growing, and such threats against Moscow and our country’s leadership are unprecedented, because the threat is being announced at the level of the US Vice President,” Peskov told RIA Novosti cited by AFP. “Of course, given such an aggressive, unpredictable line, we have to take measures to protect our interests, somehow hedge the risks,” he said, adding that “such unpredictability is dangerous for the whole world.”
Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov vowed Moscow would respond to any US cyber attacks, saying such threats were “borderline insolence”, the news agency said.
Accusations against Russia have become louder in recent days with WikiLeaks releasing thousands of “Podesta emails,” exposing Hillary Clinton’s connections to Wall Street and controversial views on Syria, among other things. Numerous left-leaning mainstream media outlets have been quick to accuse the Kremlin of teaming up with WikiLeaks, allegedly providing it with massive amounts of inside scoops to post. The evidence-free allegations have been denied both by Moscow and by WikiLeaks.
Responding to accusations last week, the Russian presidential press secretary mentioned that “tens of thousands of hackers” try to break into the sites of Russian officials on a daily basis, but this never prompted Moscow to point a finger at Washington.
So we do a cyber attack on Russia to send Putin a message about hacking our (DNC) computers whether he did or not.
Putin responds with a message to us about our cyber attacks on Russia.

FWIW, search your city and weapon used to figure out how you are situated where you are: http://www.carloslabs.com/projects/200712B/GroundZero.html
Trident II missiles are carried by 14 US Ohio and 4 British Vanguard-class submarines, with 24 missiles on each Ohio class and 16 missiles on each Vanguard class.
The UGM-133A Trident II, or Trident D5 is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM)
The W88 is a United States thermonuclear warhead, with an estimated yield of 475 kilotons with 16 ea (MIRV) on each Trident II missile
We have nothing to worry about, there will only be 6,400 MIRV’s or the equivalent of 200,000 Hiroshima type bombs landing somewhere on the planet, maybe some in a town or city near you. Be sure to check out “Ground Zero” above – Use the “Joe-4” 400kt setting.
CNN Anchor Warns Of Post-Election Violence Due To “Hatred Dripping From Trump’s Mouth”
by Tyler Durden
Oct 15, 2016 12:14 PM
Capping a week of almost unprecedentedly biased coverage of the US presidential campaign, CNN outdid itself last night. Following Donald Trump’s scatching speech on Thursday – unleashing some of the most uncomfortable truthiness America has every heard from a non-tin-foil-hat-wearing basement-dwelling deplorable blogger – Brian Stelter suggested that the Republican nominee may be inciting violence which could last beyond the election.
“He’s dangerous…”
“For a long time, people treated Donald Trump like he was a joke. Right now, it’s a very serious drama. That speech was paranoid and that speech was dangerous. It was a speech driven with hatred. A speech driven with contempt. Railing against bankers, and corporations, and the media, and this grand conspiracy that somehow he has only been able to connect the dots of. It sounded a lot like a dog whistle to a lot of people.”
“If there is violence and unrest after election day, I think we now know why based on the hatred dripping out of that man’s mouth.”
Meanwhile, the Hillbama administration calls half of America ‘deplorable’ and ‘irredeemable’, urges press censorship, and declares war on Russia? And less 3 out of 10 Americans believe the country is going in the right direction. We suggest that Trump is merely the messenger of a message that for too many years has been suppressed by the same media that now pushes their choice of candidate down “we, the people”‘s throat.
All of the violence so far, and there’s been quite a bit of it even if the press doesn’t report it, has been from the left side of the aisle.
If Trump manages to win, I expect that will increase by orders of magnitude and be encouraged not by Trump and his words but by MSM reporters and the words they spout out.
You’ve already see them doing this with the inner city blacks, and they will do it to the extreme against a Trump victory.
I agree. All the violence is from the left.
The problems with these morons running our country is that they never analyze what happens next. They think the USA has the biggest dick on the planet and can do whatever it wants without anyone ever retaliating.
Well maybe that was true for a few years after WWII when the rest of the world was in shambles, but it ain’t true today. We’ve only managed to get away with our shenanigans the past few decades because we pick on little countries that can’t fight back like Granada, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, etc., etc. We’ve been so successful against these cockroach-like empires, that we think we can pull the same bullshit on big boys like Russia or China without reprecussions.
So if we are foolish enough to launch a serious cyber attach on Russia, expect to go to your ATM next week and after inserting your card see Vlad’s face come up on the screen with the words: Sorry, no cash for you.
The problem as usual is this only hurts the little people. If Russia nukes the US I hope they just drop ONE on DC. They’d be doing us all a favor.
I have been saying this but also while their respective legislatures are in session the following – D.C., Albany N.Y., Sacramento Ca., and Springfield IL. That would pretty much blow most of this countries problems away no pun intended.
Trapped says: “…countries that can’t fight back like Granada, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, etc., etc. We’ve been so successful against these cockroach-like empires, that we think we can pull the same bullshit on big boys like Russia or China without reprecussions.”

Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan were successes? Maybe at creating more terrorists, that’s about all. Certainly not “spreading democracy”.
Who watches CNN besides demented liberals.
But don’t ignore that there are multitudes of them.
Trump has been too tepid about peace with Russia. Probably out of fear of the deep state.
He needs to state boldly that the American people have no interest in the Ukrain or removing Assad.
He has only hinted that the rebels are worse. He needs to brand the US rebels as Islamic extremist more forcably.
An old cowboy told me once, “don’t fuck with the bull unless you want to get the horns”. It seems the simple prick Obama and Killary are just dying to get the horns.
Aside from getting out the guillotines how can we stop these shitforbrains from further provoking Russia?
A “Cyber Attack” is the new ‘rattling of sabers” in today’s brave new politically correct world.
Just as vote counting should be done one at a time using a paper ballot with proper identification and voter registration (OH! I can hear the PC screams of “racisss” now) with records that are retained and may be recounted if necessary , electronic voting is a bag of crap, subject to fraud, hacking, modification and any number of other ways to sway the totality of the vote.
There are times when a photo-ID, a black marking pen,a paper ballot and a jar of ink are the appropriate methods of totaling up an election. Every election? No ID? You don’t get to vote. “Raciss”? Bull-shit.

2nd Comment ON SUBJECT: WWIII is being fought as we speak. It is being fought by the United States and its’ “allies” in a “proxy” war against Russia, China, Afganistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia (shhhh! they are our “allies’, right?), and it is being fought OVER THERE..
NEVER FIGHT A WAR within your home country. Asia and Europe learned that the hard way and so did Russia and a number of other nations. Always fight a war through proxies – dumb ass (preferably easily maneuvered religious idiots) substitutes – trained by your best and brightest, meanest and ugliest Special Forces – to do the dirty work without having to worry about getting a bunker buster dropped on top of your own “Center of Operations”.
Women and children are merely collateral damage, guaranteed to tear-jerk and encourage the rest of the world to send food, medical aid, physicians and goodies that may be hijacked by active members of the warring factions for their own use and paid for by the politically correct populations of other countries.
Face it.. People are, in general STUPID. A lot of Military Leadership is Stupid as well. Most of the Political Leadership is dummer than dog shit.
If you are going to fight a war, then FIGHT IT. Collateral damage be damned. Use intelligence and spycraft to locate and murder the top officials on the other side and do your damndest to completely screw up their CCC (Command, Control and Communications) so they just blunder from one ambush into the next. The higher the body count of the bad guys the better. Break up the supply chains so the munitions can’t get where they need to be and the bad guys will LOOSE.
Again, we’re fighting WWIII now – in its’ beginning stages, less nukes. Don’t be surprised if one goes bang if one of our carrier battle groups get’s dinged – Yemen probably only got 24 hours notice to get all the Russian and Chinese technicians and engineers out of the way before we blew up the radar sites the other day there. I’ll bet when they blew up the three radar guidance sites, there was not a human being within five miles of any of them..
Next, someone’s aircraft will be shot down – air to air – and the fun starts. (“fun” in this use is anything but).
