POST SAYS HE’S IN DESPERATE NEED
TO PAY THE HOUSEHOLD STAFF IN
NEEDS THE MONEY.
AS SANCTIONS IN SOME CASES
APPEAR TO BE WORKING THE WAR IS
STILL FULL ON.
LAWMAKERS ON CAPITOL HILL
FOCUSING ON CYBERSECURITY TODAY
AND HEARINGS IN THE HOUSE AND
SENATE AMID RUSSIAN CYBER
THREATS WE BRING IN FORMER CHIEF
TECHNOLOGY OFFICER AND SILVERADO
POLICY ACCELERATOR EXECUTIVE
CHAIR DEMETRI, THERE ARE 70
PIECES TO THIS RIGHT NOW BUT I
DON’T KNOW HOW WE DON’T START
WITH THE ATROCITIES THAT IT BEEN
REVEALED OUT OF BUCHA OUTSIDE OF
KYIV AND RENEWED SANCTIONS BUT
THEY ARE STILL KILLING PEOPLE.
>> THEY ARE AND IF YOU THINK
BUCHA IS BAD YOU DECIDE TO WAIT
FOR THE PICTURES TO COME OUT OF
MARIUPOL.
YET VERY BRUTAL PEOPLE THE DOPEY
ATTENTION TO CONVENTION AND
IT’LL LEAD TO A SOUL IN THE
CITY.
WE WILL SEE SOME OF THE
ATROCITIES COMING OUT OF THE
CITY IT’LL MAKE BUCHA SLEEPING
FOR THE RUSSIANS, TO BE
HORRIBLE.
LIZ: THAT WILL ONLY PUT BACK
VLADIMIR PUTIN INTO A TIGHTER
CORNER AND HE CONTINUES TO FIGHT
BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT ROUTE TO
RECORD AND CONTINUE TO DO.
HOW DO YOU THINK HE WILL STEP UP
IN THE COURSE WE ARE HAVING
HEARINGS OF CYBERSECURITY ON
CAPITOL HILL.
DO WE NEED TO BE MORE PROACTIVE
OR DEFENSIVE.
>> ABSOLUTELY MONTHS AGO BECAUSE
WE HAVE A SERIOUS THREAT AND THE
KEY QUESTION WHAT DOES PRESIDENT
PUTIN DO IF AND WHEN HE LOSES
HIS ALREADY SUFFERED A
HUMILIATING DEFEAT IN THE
NORTHEASTERN UKRAINE OF KYIV NOW
HE HAS THE BATTLE MOVING ALL OF
HIS FORCES INTO.
THE UKRAINIANS HAVE SUBSTANTIAL FORCES COME UP TO 50000 OR MORE
FORCES COME UP TO 50000 OR MORE FLOWING AND THAT THEY DON’T HAVE
TO DEFEND KYIV.
HE LOSES THAT BATTLE HE HAS
NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THE
OPERATION EXCEPT DEVASTATED
RUSSIAN ECONOMY THAT’S WHEN HE
BECOMES REALLY DANGEROUS AND
IT’S ONE OF THE WAYS HE CAN
RESPOND.
LIZ: ECONOMIES LOWER THAN THE
STATE OF TEXAS.
THEY HAVE THE WEAPON THAT THEY
CAN USE WITH THE OIL AND NATURAL
GAS WHICH APPEARS TO AT LEAST
FOR NOW GIVE HIM A BUFFER ZONE
BECAUSE THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL
NOT WEAN ITSELF OFF OF THAT. JOINT CHIEF CHAIRMAN GENERAL
JOINT CHIEF CHAIRMAN GENERAL
MARK MILLEY THINKS THE WORK WILL
BE MEASURED IN YEARS, DO YOU
AGREE WITH THAT.
>> I DON’T THINK THERE’S LIKELY
TO BE PEACE SETTLEMENTS THAT
ZELENSKYY AND THE UKRAINE PEOPLE
WILL ACCEPT WE MAY END UP BEST
CASE SCENARIO OF FROZEN CONFLICT
AND EXPANSION OF THE LAST EIGHT
YEARS SINCE 2014 BUT ON A MUCH
BIGGER SCALE.
THAT’S NOT GOOD USE FOR VLADIMIR
PUTIN IT SUFFERS IN THE RUSSIAN
ECONOMY UNDER THE SANCTIONS AND THE SANCTIONS WILL GET WORSE AS
THE SANCTIONS WILL GET WORSE AS
WE SEE MORE ATROCITIES, WE WILL
SEE THE EUROPEANS TAKE ACTION,
THE EUROPEANS WILL CUT OFF MOST
OF THAT WILL SURPRISE FROM
RUSSIA OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
THEY CANNOT CUT OFF GAS AND THEY
DON’T HAVE ENOUGH REPLACEMENTS THE OIL THAT THEY CAN FIND
THE OIL THAT THEY CAN FIND
ADDITIONAL SUPPLIES FOR WILL
MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION.
LIZ: MANY PEOPLE WOULD’VE
THOUGHT VLADIMIR PUTIN WOULD’VE
LAUNCHED A CYBER ATTACK
SOMEWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES
WHETHER ON THE ELECTRICAL GRID,
HOSPITALS, BANKS, WHO KNOWS
WHAT.
THE UNITED NATIONS SAYS ARTICLE
FIVE CAN BE TRIGGERED ATTACK ON
ONE OF US IS THAT ATTACK ON ALL
OF US IT COUNTS AND HOLDS EQUAL
WEIGHT TO A MILITARY ATTACK.
YOU THINK THAT IS WHY PUTIN HAS
YET TO USE THAT BULLET.
>> NO CERTAINLY HE LAUNCHED AN
ATTACK AGAINST THE LEFT MANY TIMES OVER AND FROM THE JUSTICE
TIMES OVER AND FROM THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
DEPARTMENT TALKING ABOUT THEIR
ATTEMPTS TO HACK REFINERIES IN
THE UNITED STATES IN 2018 THEY
WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL BUT THEY
TRIED IN THE PAST NATO ARTICLE
FIVE ALONE IS AN EXAMPLE IN THE
KREMLIN PAYS ATTENTION TO THIS
THEY BELIEVE THE SANCTIONS ARE KNOCKING TO STAY IN PLACE FOR
KNOCKING TO STAY IN PLACE FOR
MANY MONTHS THEY THINK AMERICANS
AND EUROPEANS ARE WEAK AND IS
SOON AS GAS PRICES GO UP, THEY
ARE HIGH BUT IF THEY GO UP ANY
FURTHER THAT THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION WILL BE
POLITICALLY WEAKENED AND THERE
MISCALCULATED THE EUROPEANS AND
THE AMERICANS ON THIS BUT THAT’S
WHAT THEY BELIEVE IT IS ONE OF
THE REASONS THEY HAVEN’T
RETALIATED BECAUSE IT THINK THE
SANCTIONS GO AWAY ONCE THEY
RETREATED.
LIZ: WHAT IS THE NUMBER ONE
THING WE SHOULD BE DOING ON
CYBER SECURITY FRONT RIGHT NOW
AS A COUNTRY.
>> YOU SHOULD BE PAYING
ATTENTION TO THE CYBERSECURITY INFORMATION SECURITY THAT WE
INFORMATION SECURITY THAT WE
HAVE THAT IS RUNNING A CAMPAIGN
FOR POLITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN
THIS COUNTRY FINANCIAL SECTOR
AND ENERGY SECTOR IN PARTICULAR
WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS WITH
INFORMATION AND WHAT THE
RUSSIANS HAVE DONE IN THE PAST
WITH THE SYSTEMS AGAINST THOSE
