thank you, that's good information.

sounds kinda like the NATO Member Action Plan (tm) takes too loving long, imho

Viktor Yanukovych was a Russian stooge installed by Russia (and currently living in Russia) in order to stop Ukraine from joining NATO, so seems to me like NATO got outsmarted on that one pretty clearly. essentially every attempt to join NATO has been effectively stymied by Putin for years and years now

Point was that Jens Stoltenberg talking about a cyber attack possibly invoking art.5 doesn't have to mean massing tanks around Kaliningrad, it just means that the allies will work together to respond. Probably it would mean increasing their cyber warfare capabilities but other options aren't explicitly barred. And that seems wise, warfare has changed a lot from the 1950's.

Also a point he made was that NATO never defined the level cyber attacks need to meet before art.5 is invoked to not encourage them at a rate just below it.

NATO should've brought in Ukraine a while back, before troops were ever massing at the border. Easier to say in retrospect but was the only thing preventing that not wanting to make Russia mad? Or were there other reasons?

There are probably good logistical and practical reasons why this isn't possible but how about instead of freezing his assets, just straight up loving take them.

NATO was never going to accept Ukraine.

What's different about this declaration against cyber-attacks from Russia from the ones Russia has done in the past when Ukraine wasn't getting invaded? Isn't this going to lead to war when Putin goes through with cyberattacks anyway??
There's a spectrum of cyber-attacks, just like there are physical. If Russia started doing poo poo that'd normally be achieved through bombings, like disabling critical infrastructure, then that's really no less of an attack than doing it with physical saboteurs.

Like someone else already said, Article 5 just means NATO starts considering the appropriate response. Just like a Russian soldier shooting a Polish one across the Ukrainian border wouldn't have the same response as Moscow lobbing a nuke at Warsaw.

If Russia does cyberattacks against allies which cause damage equal to conventional kinetic attacks they will be treated as attacks. Not really surprising or news.

Also I realized the apartment I'm renting is owned by some Russian guy who I've never seen. I considered stopping paying for it but he'd probably rent it out for more after I get kicked out so I'm not sure about it. And maybe if all Russian assets are seized eventually...

I don't know if it's "outsmarted" when they are just ready to invade and kill Ukrainians to prevent it from happening.

I have a loose understanding of this, but that loose understanding entails that Ukraine's leadership vassalated back and forth unable to commit to the NATO process. Diplomatic military and economic pressure from their neighbor to the east probably made commitments to getting that started rather difficult for any leader with polonium sensitivity.

Post-2014 they beelined that, but 2014 happened because Putin bossed Yanukovych to blow up a popular deal with EU. The relationship between the two was that of subservience - just not as overt one as in, e.g., Belarus.

Again, for the new page: They frequently move these launchers, that was the design. They move them to ensure they cannot be spotted. Normal thing for these launchers.

I didn't mean to sound like I was disagreeing with this. The materiel movements before the invasion was very much done in the public eye in order to make sure the world knew. I'm sure they could move these launchers in more surreptitious ways if the wanted to, but I think they wanted it to be seen, even if the final destination is kept secret.

Yeah, and it ain't happening. I'm betting the best case outcome here is a soft version of the Balkanization plan; Russia gets to do whatever the gently caress it wants in Donbas and gets a "demilitarized zone" next to it with Russian security forces who will gradually turn up the pressure on any anti-Russian sentiment until they eventually hold a referendum and 101% of East Ukraine votes to secede. Even with sanctions, I don't think Russia has a lot of incentive to back down very far.

Sure, without giving too much info, in one case an f500's SSO provider (which is, again, a household name) was compromised and they literally had hackers showing up in zoom calls and slack channels with developer-or-better privileges

At this point, Putin's terms for a ceasefire will be identical to his terms before the invasion. Zelensky will tell him to gently caress off and that will be the end of it.

This is all about Ukraine being seen as reasonable and cooperative, and keeping international opinion on their side.

If something like this happened and could be definitively linked to a state power I believe that would be treated as an act of war. Iran certainly felt that way about stuxnet.

Think of the ransomware attack last year that shut down the one gas pipeline. It was some hackers going after businesses that hit something a little too critical, but even there they only hit billing systems rather than anything connected to the security of the pipeline itself. Shipments only stopped because the bean counters wouldn't have been able to bill them accurately. The US would have played it differently if it was damage to the hard infrastructure.

Zelensky only turned down those terms before because he was convinced NATO would actually do something. Less than 24 hours in he was saying "NATO's bullshit and we're on our own, let's talk about that neutral status." He might be willing to drag out the fight to avoid unconditional surrender and widespread purges of Russia's critics, but he's not getting himself and his country killed over an alliance that he now knows will never defend Ukraine.
