While the global hysteria on the alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine is proving unsustainable and resulted in a harsh mistrust to the U.S. government and the MSM claims, Washington still keeps a trick up its sleeve, reminding that Russian hackers are on their guard, threatening the U.S. and global security.
On February 16th, the FBI, the U.S. National Security Agency and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued a joint cybersecurity advisory, claiming that from at least January 2020, through February 2022, Russian state-sponsored cyber actors have targeted U.S. cleared defense contractors (CDCs) on a regular basis.
Russian hackers got information that provides “significant insight” into weapons development, communications infrastructure and IT. However, no detailed information was provided and exact cases were not included in the document.
For example, “during one notable transgression in 2021”, Russians allegedly exfiltrated hundreds of documents related to the company’s products, relationships with other countries, and internal personnel and legal matters.
The bulletin only included the description of some well-known tactics of cyber-attacks.
Washington continues to discredit all its efforts in cybersecurity, claiming that “historically, Russian state-sponsored cyber actors have used common but effective tactics to gain access to target networks”. With the same old tactics the hackers manage to compromise such entities as “CDCs supporting the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Space Force, and DoD and Intelligence programs”.
“Historically, Russian state-sponsored cyber actors have used common but effective tactics to gain access to target networks, including spearphishing, credential harvesting, brute force/password spray techniques, and known vulnerability exploitation against accounts and networks with weak security. These actors take advantage of simple passwords, unpatched systems, and unsuspecting employees to gain initial access before moving laterally through the network to establish persistence and exfiltrate data.”
The bulletin is only one in a series of the recent accusations against Russia on the alleged cyberattacks.
On February 16th, Rob Joyce, the director of cybersecurity for the National Security Agency, claimed that Russian state-sponsored “cyber actors” have been “persistent in targeting U.S. cleared defense contractors to get at sensitive information.” And the onslaught is expected to continue.

On February 15th, another cyberattack allegedly hit the websites of Ukrainian government agencies and major banks. According to Ukrainian authorities, at least 10 Ukrainian websites stopped working due to DDOS attacks, including those of the Defense Ministry, Foreign Ministry, Culture Ministry and Ukraine’s two largest state banks.
Assuring that there were no threat to depositors’ funds, Kiev suggested Russia could be behind the incident. Of course, no evidence or details were provided.
The accusations were supported by the U.S.
“While there are not currently any specific credible threats to the U.S. homeland, we are mindful of the potential for the Russian government to consider escalating its destabilizing actions in ways that may impact others outside of Ukraine,” said CISA, part of the Department of Homeland Security.
New wave of alleged cyberattacks comes a month after official websites of the ministries and government bodies of Ukraine were allegedly hacked. At that time, the MSM were less busy with spreading the Moscow’s plans to invade Ukraine, that’s why the attack on January 14th hit the headlines of the media worldwide. The incident was largely determined to be a false flag attack.
A part of Euro-Atlantic elites initially hoped that they would provoke an escalation in Eastern Europe through diplomatic and information hysteria. As this is not enough, they are apparently supposed to use accusations of another type of aggression as a backup option. Another false flag cyberattack is the best option.
This whole Russian invasion has to be the dumbest false narrative that the ruling class has invented in living memory. What, exactly, was their plan? did they honestly think they’d be able to goad Russia into invading Ukraine, when Russia obviously had no interest in doing so? Did they think that they were so smart, and Putin was so damn stupid, that they could just meme a catastrophic war into existence? I mean, especially after they gave a DATE for the supposed invasion, so that all the Russians had to do was wait it out to destroy their narrative. Are they drinking their own Kool-Aid oir what? This is so beyond the pale that I have to wonder if these people could even survive in the real world, without all their money and influence to shield them from adversity.
It’s no longer the Kool-Aid – that is reserved for the normally uninformed, misinformed, gullible, naive, easily brainwashed, ignorant morons. They are now being served what I call Kosher Stupid Sauce. A special recipe for the really brain damaged, mentally deranged, beyond all sense of hope idiots whose minds are so degenerate that they only rely on the non-stop propaganda and swallow their horse dung in large quantities daily.
Great comment
unfortunately you are correct—this is failure of morality, not mere stupidity
Russia will let the Zio Nazi Ukrainian army enter the independent republics ( the reason for the evacuations) and then destroy them utterly with precision missile and artillery fire from Russia. It will be over very quickly. This way there will be no doubt it was the Zio Nazis who are the aggressors as all their dead bodies will be inside the territory of the independent republics.
A very intelligent solution for Russia as there will be no invasion to sanction and Ukraine will be unable to cause trouble for some time when their Zio Nazi army has been totally destroyed.
It’s a distraction from the fact that they have no ideas for mitigating the impending economic catastrophe.
That’s a pretty good theory. If there’s any truth to that, I suspect the constant demonization of Russia & China will eventually be used as a “see we told you so” moment when the economy finally really collapses and the citizens revolt/riot/protest. To quash it the US will blame Russia and China, (citing all their previously made-up lies as proof) to redirect the anger and fury of it’s citizens upon the enemies overseas.
“See we told you Russia and China were evil, look what they did to our economy!”
There’s no way the ruling class will allow themselves be blamed for the economic catastrophies that lie ahead. Their own survival probably depends upon it.
I’m not so sure it’s 100% false narrative. I wouldn’t be surprised if the CIA were being fed false intelligence by a source (or more likely sources) they believed they had turned in the Russian military / government about an impending invasion while the Russians took their tanks out for a drive around the countryside around Ukraine.
Military deception (maskirovka) is a big part of Russian tactics … it only makes sense to exercise these skills as much as combined arms warfare. I read recently that the Russians have a new generation of inflatable decoys that have a heat signature and emit radio transmissions to fool signals intel.
