The Pentagon is reportedly ending it’s cyberwar on Russia. This was reported by The Record and sort of validated by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
I say “sort of” because he commented on Hillary Clinton sharing it by pointing out that she too has a history with Russia. Hegseth, according to reports, has ordered the U.S. to stop “offensive digital actions” on Russia. Which serves as a reminder that the U.S. launches cyber warfare on other countries and was the first to launch a cyber weapon.
Why would he do that? Because you can’t be attacking a country that you’re trying to make peace with clearly.
The U.S. is also seeking out energy and mineral deals with Russia, which Russian President Vladimir Putin says is on the table. The mineral-rich land of Eastern Ukraine is now in Russia’s control so that makes sense.
Now there are reports that the U.S. may want to invest in the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline. Yes THAT one, the one that the Biden administration sabotaged. It has never actually been activated but President Trump is ambitious about investment and energy so it very well could.
During his first term, President Trump said that he would kill the project but apparently he’s had a change of heart.
Ukrainian President Zelensky says that he is still willing to sign the minerals deal that did not get signed after a sour meeting at the White House. Will the U.S. still want it?
