Joe Biden warned, Donald Trump stopped cyber warfare against Vladimir Putin

The provisions of the junk, which are part of a total re -evaluation of all actions with Russia, were given even before the public confrontation between President Trump and President Ukraine Volodimir Zlansky in the oval room last Friday.

The exact scope and duration of the Ministry of Defense teaching are unclear, as the line between cyber operations are often defensive. However.

Former officials said that civilian leaders are acceptable to place military operations during sensitive diplomatic negotiations to prevent his disruption. However, for President Trump and the junk, withdrawal from cyber actions offensive against Russian destinations is a big bet.

The move actually relies on the fact that Putin will relieve what many call the “war in the shadows” that runs against the US and its traditional allies in Europe. The leading European powers continue to say that their support in Ukraine is not weakening, while Trump, who wants to present himself as a neutral mediator in search of the war in Ukraine.

US officials said Russia continued to try to penetrate American networks, including the early weeks of the Trump administration. But this is just part of a wider Russian journey.

Over the past year, attacks have been informed of American hospitals, infrastructure and cities have increased, many of them depart from Russia in what intelligence agencies said they are mainly criminal actions that have been approved, or ignored, from Russian intelligence agencies.

“You won’t bring them to the table if you call them names, if you are crazy,” said Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” program. “It’s just the president’s instincts years and years of formulating deals as someone who is in business.”

After publishing the article, senator Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat and the minority leader, said in a statement that Trump seems to give Putin “free passage while Russia continues to perform cyber operations and attacks against critical American infrastructure.” He called the administration’s move “critical strategic mistake”.

During Trump’s first term, American cyber actions against Russia were precisely increased. The National Security Agency created “a small group of Russian affairs” after Russian intervention in the 2017 elections.

One of these actions was an increased effort to check the Russian power grid, an effort that was probably designed as a warning to Russia not to intervene in American critical infrastructure. Trump condemned this report as a “virtual betrayal,” but his former assistants later said he was concerned that the exposure would affect his relationship with Putin.
