We can try sanctions, but we've pretty much maxed out that route after the Crimea annexation.
If we do nothing, we're sending the message that these actions are okay.

- jessaustin 6y agoMaybe we should "send the message" that we won't install insecure shit on our networks?
- tfehring 6y agoWe aren’t even close to maxing out what could be accomplished with economic sanctions! The US and Russia still have a direct trading relationship!
- spand 6y agoDoes anyone believe the US isn’t doing similar shit themselves ? In that light it seems pretty disingenuous to call out others for the same act.

- wonder_er 6y agoThe US Government does stuff like this to other countries all. the. time. We don't hear about it much. But if this is an "act of war" the US has conducted dozens of these kinds of "attacks" on others over the last ten or fifteen years.
