    So this is the first story I read about this that specified “offensive”. Yes it’s risky, but I don’t see how we can be outraged at other states hacking into us when we are doing it to them, and doing it first. We have to stop escalating, and yes, nation states may exploit de-escalation. Perhaps if we could and will focus on defensive cybersec consistently, others may consider it.

      That makes sense only if it’d apply to every nation, not just Russia. Us selecting only them for a reprieve shows favoritism.

      People in this thread acting like it’s OK for the US to try and hack the Kremlin, and that it isn’t escalatory behavior. At all. Lol.
