Let’s hope Biden is thinking about this with a very small and very loyal group of insiders who will keep their mouths shut until Putin wakes up some day to find that Kamchatka has just seceded and joined Japan (or some such).

....the US had a plan in place for Putin’s sabotage, and would deploy it in a manner and time of their choosing. Later it turned out the GOP Senators threatened them — Trump “won” — and here we are.

Perhaps the blueprints of that plan could be retrieved and used.

And perhaps we could learn patience and not demand details prematurely.

but left the plan up to the next president, which I presumed he thought would be Hillary at the time. I'm sure Biden will dust off that plan next year. I think cyberattacks may have been one of the components.

Trump or one of the other agents in the white house shipped that plan via back channels straight to the Kremlin.
