WASHINGTON — Russia and other
adversaries will continue to engage in cyber warfare to "degrade our
democratic values and weaken our alliances," the nation's top
intelligence official said Tuesday.
"Frankly,
the United States is under attack," Director of National Intelligence
Dan Coats told the Senate Intelligence Committee, adding that every
facet of society is being targeted with cyber intrusions.
In unequivocal language, Coats said Russia President Vladimir Putin has been emboldened by Russia's successful interference in the 2016 elections and is targeting the 2018 election cycle.
"There should be no doubt that (Putin) views the past effort as successful," Coats said.
The
national intelligence director's comments come against the backdrop of
continuing congressional and criminal investigations into Russia's
interference in the 2016 election and whether the Kremlin coordinated
their activities with President Trump's campaign.
Although
Trump has repeatedly wavered on Russia's involvement, Coats and the
nation's five other top intelligence officials Tuesday each affirmed a
2016 assessment of the entire intelligence community that Russia
interfered in the election and has not relented in a strategy to
undermine future elections.
"This is not going to change or stop," National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers said.
These have to be the end times with that fuckhead as POTUS. North Korea will call his wife a whore or something and we'll launch nukes at them. They'll respond. Maybe Russia and China will get into the game. It won't matter. Kiss "modern man" goodbye. The end of another civilization.
