#PeteHegseth Orders #Pentagon to Stop Offensive #Cyberoperations Against #Russia
#Trump’s #defense secretary’s instructions, which were given BEFORE Trump’s blowup with #Ukraine’s President #Zelensky, are supposedly part of an effort to draw Russia into talks on the war.
Obvious BS.

“Donald #Trump is so desperate to earn the affection of a #thug like Vladimir Putin he appears to be giving him a free pass as #Russia continues to launch #cyber operations & #ransomware attacks against critical American infrastructure, threatening our economic & #NationalSecurity," #ChuckSchumer said. "It is a critical strategic mistake for Donald Trump to unilaterally disarm against #Putin."
@Nonilex Trump isn’t interested in earning affection - it’s all about the money, and ability to bully, coerce and intimidate people.
Really they should stop sharing. It’s not like Trump reads any of them. I doubt Hegseth or Patel will either. There are probably some career intelligence experts left in the government looking for a way to secure the US & our allies. But it’d probably be best for individuals in various agencies to directly contact those officials rather than sharing with Trump or his intelligence agency heads.
