Well, lets see, the Pentagon considers cyber attacks against critical US infrastructure (including the power grid) an act of war that can warrant a military response [0].
And now we have a major US newspaper publishing articles claiming (with the most tenuous of links) that Russia is hacking the US power grid.
Not to mention a whole bunch of other dubious anti-Russia stories making the rounds based on flimsy 'evidence' that boils down to what another commenter posted the other day:
"Russians drive trucks. Hackers used trucks. Therefore the hacks were clearly done by the Russians"
It's not a straw man to say people calling for calm against Russia Hysteria are doing so because they don't want things to escalate to war with Russia.
> Certainly not the incoming US president
And so I find myself looking more and more forward to a Trump presidency. There are still 20 days to go however, so lets hope the media and the left can calm themselves down before then.
