Kerry: the US president will decide when to respond to the "Russian cyber attack"

Barack Obama will decide when exactly the measures will be taken against the Russian Federation in connection with its cyber attacks on servers of American structures, reports TASS Statement by US Secretary of State John Kerry.


Kerry: the US president will decide when to respond to the "Russian cyber attack"


Answering a question from Wired magazine about whether Washington intends to respond to cyber attacks by Moscow, Kerry said: “The decision to give an answer was made long ago. Now this answer will follow at the time chosen by the president; he may be invisible to you. ”

The Secretary of State assured that the White House "does not intend to just sit and be subjected to hacker attacks without doing anything."

Speaking of hacker attacks on various US agencies carried out from abroad, he noted that at the present time “that is already a question in the sphere of diplomacy and defense”.

Kerry also said that America is not interested in getting involved in the cyber arms race.

When asked by the correspondent whether the issue of cyber attacks was discussed with the Russian leadership, the Secretary of State said: “We definitely discussed this. Here it is impossible to overestimate the danger. The last thing we need is the cyber arms race. ”

According to him, Washington needs to make sure that "the situation is under control, and all act responsibly." It may be necessary to partially revise some agreements in which the United States is involved. What is at stake, Kerry did not clarify.

        Breaking News: Putin bought the FBI wink
        The FBI unexpectedly published 129 pages of documents related to investigating the controversial decision of US President Bill Clinton to pardon Democrat financier and sponsor Mark Rich in 2001.
        The investigation ended in 2005. At the same time, documents were published at the time when a week remained before the presidential election in which Bill Clinton Hillary's wife participated as a candidate from the Democratic Party.

          To be serious, the accusation of cyber terrorism is very serious! In the US, not hesitating to jail for it! Therefore, our Foreign Ministry must in a harsh form demand evidence or an apology!

              Kerry in the depths of his soul understands that he is wrong, but due to the ongoing mess in the United States, we have to adhere to the general "official" line - it's Russia that is to blame! wassat

            In my opinion, Kerry answered quite well for the USA, usually they don’t answer that way.

            “The decision to give an answer was made long ago. Now this answer will follow at the time the president chooses, it may be invisible to you».

            And then ... the answer was the results, let's not say they are secret ...
            IMHA Kerry is simply trying to save the face of the outgoing administration, because the intensity of passions was not at all a joke .. and the Democrats are now losing ground, especially since even the FBI does not see the "hand of the Kremlin and the furry Putin" ...

            Come on, let them "hack" in return, if there is nothing to do and are so sure that there is a cyber war (a word that is resonant for journalism, just like SDI used to be). They will be surprised, maybe even cry when they see what information they received, for example, in the Duma smile :

          A critical vulnerability of the Windows operating system was discovered after an attack by “Russian hackers,” Reuters reports citing a company’s message.- however serious passions rage in the USA ... although, as is customary : Microsoft does not provide data on those who were specifically affected by the actions of cybercriminals. According to the agency, Microsoft believes that a small number of attacks were carried out by the hacker group Strontium, which also operates under the pseudonyms Fancy Bears and APT 28. At the same time, hackers used targeted phishing emails.- so nothing new ... together they invent a horror story and use it themselves.

      All these are unfounded accusations of Russia in hacker attacks, so far no one has proved Russia's guilt in these attacks. But if the United States, as a state, launches an attack in cyberspace against Russia, then our hands will be untied for retaliatory actions, which could be the prologue of a cyber war turning into a hot third world war. So let Obama think well before giving such rash orders.

    Americans will always find a reason, as it was before: Jewish rights to leave the USSR, Puski, Magnitsky, gays, Olympics, Crimea, Ukraine, Syria, cyber attacks by Russian hackers, Gazprom, Russian denial of US flights to the moon by the Russians, a sooty sky over the English Channel and the Mediterranean Sea, the mismatch between Orthodox holidays and Catholic, Russian sole use of Siberian resources, etc. In short, there will always be reasons for sanctions.
