back to article Uncle Sam charges Russian GRU cyber-spies behind 'WhisperGate intrusions'

    If the feds manage to get their hands on any of these people they’d better hope there are no US citizens in Russia. Otherwise there will be more fake espionage charges and then a prisoner swap. Putin loves a photo opportunity with the total scumbags he’s ‘rescued’ from US jails.

    USA spies: good. Everyone else: bad.

    You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. Matthew 7:1-5.

    How about extraditing the spies who spied on Merkel? And the spies who hacked Gemalto? And everything else?

    There's are many reasons why we need a multi-polar world. And the number one reason is because of the moral bankruptcy of the USA.

      D'ya read the article? This was sabotage not spying.

      A better comparison would be Stuxnet and.. err, there are really no other confirmed examples of US cyber sabotage, I don't think? Stuxnet was highly targetted and with very different aims. Good or bad it was more speck than log.

    Uncle Sam right now, is the Democrats/liberals. Who have let legals into our country and have committed treason upon the USA. And have no rights at all to be in any of the business going on over in Russia. Nor trying to say that just because it's a hacker group. It's attached to the government in a freaking country. All the Democrats are doing is trying to give a false narrative to keep the American people's eyes off of what they are actually doing and focused on somebody else. Right now Russia and North Korea is a communist country look better than this s*** hole.
