The New York Times has published an anonymously sourced report titled “U.S. Escalates Online Attacks on Russia’s Power Grid” about the “placement of potentially crippling malware inside the Russian system at a depth and with an aggressiveness that had never been tried before” ... ...

Methinks she's deluded herself into thinking Donald Trump is capable of making a rational decision if the deep state would only seek his opinion with understandable analysis. The problem is that there's no there there, Lulu:
Whatever "they" are doing, they are on their own. There's no there there. Furthermore, there is one Trump-down policy in effect that affects what "the people" know: the media is the enemy of the people. So why have like, Pentagon press conferences to even try to bullshit reporters, which they might analyze? Just keep everything you are doing quiet, even from the "president".
It is what it is, no way anything can be solved on these kind of decisions without getting rid of him first. Because he's incapable of doing precisely these things that are his job or even understanding anything about them.

Art, anyone who still trusts the NYT's reporting or spin is a fool. Trump signed an order last year giving the US Cyber Command a freer hand in executing this type of operation. His preapproval is not required but that doesn't mean he isn't kept informed on ongoing operations like the one he ordered against Russia before the last election.
If this bit of propaganda from the NYT were true it only means that they exposed this operation to the Russians which is what they claim, with no evidence, Trump might do.

Trump's order was NICE, National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (NICE Framework) , relating to cyber personnel management.
It had nothing to do with making Pootie pay a price if he helps Trump again in the next election.
Which Trump said on national TV he would secretly accept.
As Trump's sole unbending principle in everything he says or does, is: "is it good for me, and can I get away with it?"
Anyone who doesn't admit Trump is a adulterous sociopathic narcissistic lawless lying scoundrel is either a Russian troll, or a delusional Trump cultist.

There may not be any "there" there but there is something significant there if the military can take that significant an action while deliberately keeping it a secret from the Commander in Chief.

Lu, believing fake news propaganda will only lead you down the rabbit hole to the realm of mad hatters as seen in the comment above. Trump has already debunked this nonsense but observed correctly that it is a form of collusion with the Russians by the NYT who appear to be leaking classified national security information to our enemies.
Have you noticed that most all of the hysterical attacks on Trump are based on hypothetical fears about what he might or could do not what he does? This near constant hysteria is being referred to as peak-snowflake which could interfere with Trump's plans for his third term.

He and family making millions illegally off his properties? Trillion dollar damaging trade and tariffs war against a sequence of allies and competitors alike? Putting immigrant children in concentration camps w/o access to parents, some dying? Selling nuclear capability to a rich rogue Mideast state w/o controls while letting North Korea build up nukes to get vanity praise? Denying Congress it's Constitutional right to check on the Executive Branch and obtain documents & testimony? Ginning up war with Iran by backing out of treaties and making false claims, possibly using false flag operations?
All of this is just a sampling of what illegal and awful Trump *is* doing, not what he might do (tho there's that). As usual you're so transparently full of shit I can see your bowels move. Disgusting.

Here is a key part of what I said with an underline to help you understand.
There is no reason for any regular reader here to believe that I take everything or anything from the NYT on faith. That said, I very much doubt they made up the anonymous leak from whole cloth. So, it is a completely rational statement to say that something very wrong is revealed by the report. That is the case whether a deliberate lie was leaked or a disturbing truth was leaked and that is what my comment says in so many words.

This is odd in view of the present circumstances:
I am glad Trump did not kill people to avenge the loss of an expensive robot.
But the "third term" stuff implies a fundamental difference requiring a change of the Constitution.
You are more frightening than Trump.

I think we're all happy that Trump has accomplished nothing except a tax cut for corporations and the wealthy. Standard republican fare. It's fortunate that he's incompetent and doesn't have a plan or a clue. What's amazing is his supporters are happy that nothing he promised is getting done too.

The danger of an irrational president and his ideologically driven advisors not listening to the military.That or the danger of a president and his ideologically driven advisors playing games with media leaks
Who the fuck knows.That's the point. And your Consortium club is writing just like Bush/Cheney is still in charge. Somebody should tell them we are on the other side of the mirror.

Analysis: A dangerous confusion at the heart of Trump’s foreign policy
Publicly, President Trump is determined to appear tough. The problem is that his policy goals have never been murkier. The net result is a president who has proved adept at triggering foreign policy crises, but who seems unable to defuse them.

Trump's FP and policies in general are certainly confusing and dangerous for the quislings among us. They pine for the era of weakling appeasement, bribery and Newspeak promotion of managed decline of US influence in the service of globalist goals. The disruption of these globalist goals has left this class of quislings out of work when they believed their careers as guiding the decline were tenured. All they can do now is heckle and project their weakness from the sidelines while Trump reverses the decline and takes on the difficult task of enlightening our adversaries, who had become accustomed to dealing with weaklings, that the quisling era will not return.

The “quislings” appear to be rational human beings including most of our allies. Trump drove credibility of the United States into the ground. He was too stupid to ask ow many casualties would result from his attack until the last minute.
You continually provide cover for an authoritarian. Trump doesn’t think that we have to provide soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, or beds for black and brown children. You support a white supremacist.
We can argue about what passes for Trump’s foreign policy, but we know the evil Trump supporters are willing to overlook.
