Trump Personally Approved ‘Crippling’ Offensive Cyber Strike On Iran’s Missile Systems
This is not something they can put back together so easily.
That's what one official told the Washington Post for a piece published Saturday afternoon documenting what sounds like an aggressive cyber attack launched by the US against Iran on Thursday night.
Yahoo broke the news on Friday, but details were sparse. Now we know Trump personally approved the operation which, unlike the aborted airstrikes, did not come with the risk of human casualties.
The "offensive" digital strike is said to ha
What actually occurred was that the Iranian assets were attacked as a prelude the launch of the aircraft and missiles against conventional military targets by the the USAF and USN. Trump lost his bottle and canceled the offensive action after the Iranian defenses were taken off line.
The result is that the Iranians now are aware of their vulnerability and will take action to prevent a recurrence. A valuable weapon was wasted by an ignorant and fickle leader. Once again Trump has made a mess and his minions are spinning it as three dimensional chess.
Trump should require the Chinese pay for reimbursement of the costs involved in keeping their oil supply coming through the straits. Does the USA need oil from there? I just do not understand this.
What would happen if someone hacked the Trump cell phone?
He would admit it, have his spokespeople give conflicting accounts, undercut them by admitting it again, backtrack, lie, reverse again, confuse the public, lock up some brown people, and then commit some other outrage the next day so all would be forgotten.
