Been thinking a lot about the thing that sprang me awake a week or so ago and then I heard this on news clip in background just now:
23:20: Chris Matthews: What is this rolling disclosure coming from Moscow?
Malcolm Nance: Because the Russians know how to play the information warfare game. Anything that has been done or said quietly between the President and Moscow is going to be revealed on the schedule of the Russians. I believe they're framing [Trump]. They're creating a narrative around him, they have the ability to nudge him in certain directions. The Russians are playing this game well, they know how to play it, the United States are amateurs at this game and we're going to get taken, we're going to get our lunch eaten.

What popped me awake: My first introduction to the Internet was when I was at NASA in the late 1970s. At that time fresh out of college I also learned that the DOD had been using this wonderful form of global communication for years before civilians got access to it.
What woke me up with a start the other day was the thought that the Soviet military had the internet at that time too. What would they have developed with it?
The U.S. military turned the internet over to civilians who used it to talk to astronauts in space, then the private sector created platforms for all this wonderful global communications and friend-making, plus ad revenue up the wazoo, creating revenue from nothing. Brilliant.
What would the Soviets have done with their internet?
Probably what we are seeing now, the result of Russia putting all its efforts into creating ways to engage in cyber warfare.
They developed algorithms to control information around the same time as American entrepreneurs were creating Facebook and Twitter and Google and Amazon. What next I wonder?
Because most Americans still don’t even realize we're under attack, and losing.
