The threat of Russia and Putin

Post by paolo »

when did russia replace north korea as the worlds foremost hackers?

Are most global operating systems and social media and ecommerce sites american?

do they have back doors built in for data harvesting? what else do they have built in?

I wondered what the russian military budget was, compared to that of the usa, then compared to nato (minus the usa costs)

as the usa and nato pushes for conflict, how long will it be until something happens?

Every computer has back doors if its sold in the western world if you dont put them in the NSA will prevent the company getting a license to operate . Thats how if you piss of the government Special branch or whatever equivalent will kick your front door in take your computers and devices and miraculously find a shitload of kiddie porn on them even if you never have seen it . Then you will either be dragged into court or asked to play nicey nicey It aint the Russki's its our own dirty tricks boys. Though the russkis and Chinkies are bound to have something similar

Why are people freaking out about the Russians ? I was in the RAF early 1970's and their Air Force planes were forever crossing into U.K. airspace, they were referred to as Zombies at the time and would routinely be escorted out of UK airspaceI'm sure it's the same with our planes in their airspace. The last thing Russia needs is conflict with NATO forces, any such conflict would only have one outcome and it wouldn't end well for them
That said nothing to be gained ( I suppose) with making them paranoid and suspicious, they're already on their borders with NATO member countries. Turkey were so concerned about Russia they shot one of their planes down, geo political outcome, Putin cuddling up to Turkey

I think a little more about russian and ukranian history is required, in addition to the puppet government paid for and illegally and non democratically inserted into ukraine may have some effect on that situation
