Can We Talk About Joe Biden's Horrible Choice to Give Putin a List of Things Not to Cyberattack?
So, this is real. Joe Biden actually did this. Here he is on video admitting it. Biden says he gave Putin a list of 16 things that are off limits for cyber attacks on critical infrastructure. pic.twitter.com/ijyQX4LU2l  Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) June 16, 2021  I gave (Putin) a list, if Im not mistaken I dont have it in front of me, 16 specific entities, 16 defined as critical infrastructure that Putin should not cyberattack, Biden said. We have questions. You didnt put it on list, comrade, so we hack it, Putin chuckles as he text Xi with a string of laughing emojis. Youve handed him a treasure map. Hopefully not, because he isnt. Putin will spend the evening after a long day of meetings chuckling over a few vodkas at his good fortune in the president he now faces. The Russian word for idiot will be used frequently between belly laughs. Also: puppet.  You can bet everything you have and own, that if Trump handed Vladimir Putin a list of sensitive facilities and installations with a request not to attack them, the media would slam him as Putins puppet, a fool, a Quisling, and worse. This is a serious matter. Did anyone around him say Mr. Do you think he might text that list straight to his non-state cyberattack squads with a LOL emoji?  Because thats probably exactly what Putin did. To be clear, Putin already knows our weak points. The man has been studying the United States since he was a communist KGB officer. Bidens list is just a nice little joke to him. Some apologists will say as much to laugh off Bidens list. Dont buy it and dont let them get away with it. When Joe Biden was at his sharpest, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he had been wrong on every international issue over the past 40 years. Biden is well past his best. Now he is an active menace to our security. The border on his watch is overrun and allowing more fentanyl and other dangerous drugs, and the cartels that profit from them, to cross our border every day. He is endangering Israel and U.S. interests with his overtures to Iran. His fiscal policy threatens to bankrupt Americans through inflation and bankrupt the country by spending it off a cliff. But handing Putin a list of things he considers vital and sensitive with a pretty-please not to cyberattack them ought to wake up his most ardent supporters. This isnt a mere policy difference. Its gross strategic stupidity.
