Why is Putin escalating attacks on the U.S. now?

[duforsure]

Any idea's.. Is he behind these unknown energy attacks too? Is this retaliation for preventing his hackers from getting trump elected again like he did in 2016 ? Could this be because he knows soon people taking bribes and election help in our government are about to be exposed? He has to have a reason for doing this. I've had a fear from him a full scale cyber attack , and now a unknown energy source could cripple us all if not protected. Is this his goal, escalate for a larger attack? His escalation makes me wonder , why. Is he doing this now. Is our country ready if he try's doing this? I sure hope so.

2. Is he escalating them?

Or, is he just getting back to the normal levels of the times when he didn't have a puppet running the show here? He was pulling this shit all the time during previous administrations not run by his syphilitic, orange gasbag. It just didn't make the news very frequently before that, and with Trump, he didn't need to do any of this. Why waste the effort and expens when Trump was destroying us from within? His toady is gone, so it's back to business as usual.

7. Testing Biden

Lots of reasons, the first is to see how far he can push the new administration. About the Havana attacks, my theory it that Putins folks have improved the technology do the devices can be smaller and more portable. If memory serve me the first device was inside a clock or wall plaque in the old embassy in Havana. I believe there have been issues with these kinds of attacks in quite a few places over the past few decades. Where is the soccer ball that Putin gave the orange menace? Someone hopefully cut that open immediately.

8. so they found the device from Havana?

what kind of ray was it kicking out? they must have analyzed it out the wazoo. Got any pics or a linky-poo?

12. I read an article about the attacks

fairly recently and I never heard that they'd found any device associated with the Havana attacks. I think there are theories, but no real proof.

15. Never meant to say there was definitive evidence. NT

9. With Cold Warriors like Victoria Nuland back at the State Dept, there's going to be more conflict

10. Trump is no longer in office to attack the US for him.

And no, I don’t think they are buddies. Putin used his resources to help elevate Trump as a destabilizing force.

This is the perfect time for Putin to take actions we would have to respond to.

13. Trying to make Biden look week.

Testing the firewalls as they're being rebuilt.
It's a way of trying to force the US to certain actions and not allowing Biden's administration time to rebuild more efficiently.

It's not that Russia has any particularly great programs to attack us with, it's that Trump's administration just gave them everything they wanted and they're in panic sabotage mode to find backdoors or holes in the new systems are being built.
