Exactly right, Louise. Despots like Putin and his outgoing American Useful Idiot only understand power, and a proportional response by President Biden is required soon after 1.20.21. Vlad's acknowledgement of Biden Electoral College reality was, of course, just cover for Putin's megahack.
At this point I think it’s prudent to be a little disproportionate and overwhelm them with a response that is not restricted to cyber warfare. We must send a message that we aren’t afraid of this conflict and that makes our commitment clear. I think we must disrupt them in a protracted and coordinated attack that will leave a permanent scar to act as a reminder that we are indeed, a dangerous force. They believe we don’t have the stomach for the fight and that’s why it’s critical to reshape their Perception of our commitment , by the very scale of our reply.
I agree completely with this assessment. Of course, kicking them out of SWIFT is a serious non-Cyber response that they have characterized in advance as an act of war, which shows how much they care about it. I'm not convinced we need open kinectic warfare, but there are plenty of ways to have covert kinetic warfare, and some of those would be fine with me as well.
Surely there are those in the incoming team who know this, who have a plan and who will act on it. Right? Please say right. I want to have a good night's sleep at some time in the future.
I think Joe Biden's statement to this effect, which came out the day after I wrote this piece, is very reassuring. He seems appropriately enraged and he talks about deterrence specifically, which implies he intends to impose costs on these guys above the massive damage they have caused to us.
Thank you for laying this out so succinctly. The level of attacks against our Nation is sobering, but the corresponding void of responses by this Administration is sickening. Putin places chess while Trump plays checkers. Who knows, may that's the intended design.
Enough is enough! I sincerely hope PE Biden and Kamala take matters to the next level.
It's about time SOMEBODY did. Kamala Harris, former Senate Intel, knows how serious this is.

You have to wonder if Putin knew what the SVR was getting him into.
i hope that we impose sanctions that will be the mother of all sanctions, Putin needs to pay so much that the oligarchs boot him from office
And making the oligarchs pay on his behalf is a good strategy, too.
