Dem Senator Warner Comes Clean: Trump Unlike Obama Let Us Punch Back At Russia, Use Offensive Cyber Capabilities

Obama, like the kid afraid of the schoolyard bully, gave America's adversaries our lunch money ahead of time in the hope they wouldn't bother us. TD

NewsThud   "In a stunning admission a top Democrat in the Senate, Mark Warner, told the truth about how tough Trump has been on our adversaries, including Russia, while contrasting how weak Obama and Bush were.
"Will the mainstream media pick this up and run it 24/7? No, because it shatters their neat and mostly false narrative about Trump.
"The truth, according to Warner, is that Trump deserves credit for unleashing our ability to punch back and hit Russia and China when they overstep with certain cyber actions.
"Quotes From The Daily Wire:
"“There are two main issues: There is the integrity of the election infrastructure, and then there’s the disinformation campaigns,” Hoover said. “In your view, which is more important?”
"“I think they’re equally important and I think we have gotten better in both areas,” Warner responded.  “To give the Trump administration some credit here, [they allowed] for us to punch back in the cyber domain, which, both under Obama and Bush, we were reluctant to do.”
“ 'You just said you want to give the Trump administration credit for going on the offense in the cyber domain,” Hoover responded."
“There are reports that, in 2018, the United States took an offensive posture in cyber and actually was able to shut down Russian troll farms.”
