*I am willing to bet Trump had no idea what he was authorizing, as one of the first offensive cyberoperations conducted was to neutralize potential Russian interference in the 2018 midterms. No doubt Putin was not pleased

Hegseth has paused offensive cyberoperations against Russia by U.S. Cyber Command, although lawmakers and national security experts have called for a greater offensive posture.

By doing so, Hegseth shows that it's Trump's malicious intention to make the US defenceless against Russian cyber attacks.

Stopping cyber operations while the Russians aggressively pursue theirs is another unearned accommodation. Historically, Russia banks concessions and pushes harder. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to STOP offensive cyber operations against Russia. This is insane. Russia is actively targeting the U.S., and the ability to conduct offensive operations (which was authorized by Trump in 2018!*) was at least one deterrent.

The question was about Russian cyberoperations against Norway. Whether they know it or not, that question was answered in the affirmative through justification by whataboutisms.

But there is something deeper here than bad diplomacy.
