He basically aims to reinstate the Soviet Union "glory" days so reinstating the iron curtain isn't a big stretch...
I still hope this can be settled. If Ukraine gives up the areas that were basically constant civil war anyway... Continued escalation is to nobody's benefit. I don't think the Russian population wants this war either.
PS for what it's worth I also was really opposed to my own country helping the US to invade the middle East (eg Iraq, Afghanistan). But two wrongs don't make a right.
This won't work at all. They'll just attack from a point of presence inside our borders. Any cyberattack that can be traced to a country is because they want it to be traced (eg to send a message)
It'll be a possible sanction because it will hurt the Russian population and businesses. But it won't avoid any cyberattack.
This is the kind of comment I love HN for!
