i still find his fall funny. basicaly he kept pushing the envelop and became deeply unpopular once ww2 kicked off and then once pearl habor happened the goverment basicaly told his new bishop "either you deal with him or we will gently caress him over and we would rather you do it because we have a war to win" so the bishop told him to stop and made him a parish priest.

At my wife's first trimester screening today and come to find out our nurse was Ukrainian, with her mom still in Kiev (and by the sound of it a lot of family in Poltava).

That direction won't be the main avenue of attack. I'd put money on it now, unless Russian doctrine is markedly different today than that of 1930 to when I stopped paying attention around 2005.

This has the feel of Bagration, at least from this distance.

It's pretty insane being that today you'd know he'd tell the bishops to go gently caress themselves and launch his own platform.

quote:

Details: Warner foresees two ways a digital war could draw in NATO countries, including the United States:

1. Putin deploys cyber weapons inside Ukraine that take on a life of their own and spread to NATO member states. This has happened before — most notably in 2017, when Russia's NotPetya malware was unleashed in Ukraine and ended up causing billions of dollars in damage to companies worldwide.

2. Putin retaliates against the West's toughest sanctions by ordering direct cyberattacks targeting infrastructure inside the U.S. and other NATO allies. The U.S. government issued an alert this week urging businesses and agencies to protect their "most critical digital assets," citing "the potential for the Russian government to consider escalating its destabilizing actions" beyond Ukraine.

Well, when is it enticing to fix stuff at home? More seriously speaking, I'm sharing this since I was unaware that Article 5 may be invoked over a cyberattack (e.g., something spills over to Poland due to proximity or relationship with Ukraine), even if the response may vary.

It can be, but again the issue is attribution: Its REALLY REALLY hard to attribute cyberattacks to APT groups, especially in Russia's case where they have plenty of groups you can have do it who are not directly state connected.

This was part of why, during the US/Russian negotiations over Ukraine, they arrested that ransomware group in Ukraine as a "Good faith" gesture to the US to say that if we let them do whatever in Ukraine "All this could go away" (they didn't, the arrest was a show.)

The reality is the only solution for cyberattacks is getting companies to take security seriously, but good luck with that.
