> Poland's critical infrastructure has been [1]subject to a growing number of cyberattacks by Russia , whose military intelligence, has trebled its resources for such action against Poland this year, the country's digital affairs minister told Reuters. Of the 170,000 cyber incidents that have been identified in the first three quarters of this year, a significant portion has been attributed to Russian actors, while other cases are financially motivated, involving theft or other forms of cybercrime, Krzysztof Gawkowski said.

> He said Poland is a subject to between 2,000 and 4,000 incidents a day and that 700 to 1,000 are "taken up by us, meaning they posed a real threat or had the potential to cause serious problems," he said. Foreign adversaries are now expanding their focus beyond water and sewage systems to the energy sector, he said.

If countries like russia can implement a "firewall" blocking their citizens from accessing the rest of the world, surely the rest of the world could block Russia? I guess they would work around that somehow, but fuck russia, they bring nothing of value to the world, only grief and lies.

Attacking the sewage system.... (Score:2)
I don't care how much you hate a country, attacking their sewage system is just a shitty thing to do.
I mean, seriously. That's just a low down, cold thing to do.
Don't fuck with the sewage man. Leave that shit alone.

A blind man could see what you did there.
Russia is waging a war on infrastructure, and with winter approaching in Europe that will make repairs difficult. We are coming up on three years since Russia invaded Ukraine and Russia will want to create a miserable winter for Europe in order to have more time and space for another invasion as spring comes.
It was no accident that Russia invaded in February. That's the time of coming out of winter, the ground and many rivers would still be frozen to allow for the

Just had a big fire at a refinery. Having read about Ukraine blowing up Russian refineries almost daily for the last few weeks, and Trump slowly backing off from his calls for Ukraine to capitulate, I have to wonder if that wasn't a Russian sabotage operation.
Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. Shit does happen. But the timing is suspicious.
Regardless, Russia is a terrorist state, and it needs to be made small again. The only question is how much additional pain we're going to allow them to cause before we force

Russia Is Doing Everything It Can (Score:3)
Russia is doing everything it can to escalate itself into WWIII. Unfortunately, it makes sense from Putin's perspective since the only thing propping up Russia's economy, and thus his tenure in power, is war.
That's the problem with the dictatorship (Score:1)
The dictator can lose their marbles and just decide they're going to do whatever the fuck they want regardless of the consequences, which is especially common when a dictator is near the end of their life and wants one last glorious hoorah.
If you know the history of monarchies you often see chaos when the king is near the end of their life.
Meanwhile here in America we are doing everything we can to be like Russia because reasons.

In a sense it has already begun. Russia has made multiple attacks on people, arms stores and arms factories throughout NATO lands. That includes a suspicious fire at the Scranton arms factory in Pennsylvania [1]and a number of others [newsweek.com], that includes Russian agents [2]caught sending explosives to Germany, Poland and the UK [bbc.com], having [3]blown up a big arms depot in Bulgaria and multiple assassinations and attempted assassinations on NATO lands.

Russia is not doing everything it can to start WW3. If Putin wants WW3 then all he needs to do is "touch the boats" like Japan did in the start of WW2. I know that there are people that will claim that WW2 started in late 1939 but I can make a case that it wasn't a global war until 1941 when Japan touched America's boats and initiated direct involvement from nations on the American continents. Don't touch the boats: [1]https://www.youtube.com/watch?... [youtube.com]

I doubt Trump wants war, he's a businessman, not a soldier.
Yes, you are correct. The draft dodger is not a soldier and has little regard for the military, criticizing Gold Star families and mocking those who died.
However, the reason nothing will happen while he's around is because he admires Putin. Remember when he held up a picture of he and Putin after the Alaska meeting and said [1]he was going to sign it [go.com] and send it to Putin? It's the same reason he has not put real sanctions on Russia despit
