(CNN)Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats raised the alarm on growing cyberattack threats against the United States, saying the situation is at a "critical point" and coming out forcefully against Russia.

Coats compared the "warning signs" to those the United States faced ahead of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
"It was in the months prior to September 2001 when, according to then-CIA Director George Tenet, the system is blinking red. And here we are nearly two decades later, and I'm here to say, the warning lights are blinking red again," Coats said.

Remember, ignoring the 9/11 intel reports helped Bush and the GOP win the 2002 mid-terms, why not let Russia help out in 2018?

2. And what is trump doing?

Ignoring the threat and calling putin a friend and meeting with him again. Soon he'll give in to him more , and weaken this country and our Democracy for him. That's treasonous if he does anything good for him . Trump IS putins puppet , and Hillary was right all along about trump. trump is a terrorist for putin, who also is one.

5. And republicans are pumping out smoke and gas to obscure the FLASHING RED LIGHTS

and thereby they are weakening America, and pissing on the democracy that has made our nation great.

The republican surrender to russia and russia's ONGOING ACTS OF WAR is inexcusable.

6. t-rump, Bolton, Miller, et al.,

are probably providing them the information. Bolton, Miller, t-rump and his family, and his administration and the Republican party are pro-Russia and negative USA.

7. My guess is that is why Traitor-Trump is visiting Putin.

The only thing that will help TrumPutin now is a 911.
It gave Bush II in a HUGE popularity boost (that he lost soon afterward). I remember the night of 9/11, it was dead quiet because there were no plains flying. It was a scary time.
These are gruesome people. Sick to the core. They will stop at nothing—including killing hundreds of innocent U.S. citizens, so they can have complete control.

8. We are at a

a very critical and serious point in our lives right now. We must stop this in November, we have traitorous Congress and idiot squatting in the WH.

Yet the Donald feels that America should protect the Chinese jobs at ZTE, a company involved in hacking America's cyber security.

All it took for Donald to sell out our country was a half billion dollar loan to a Trump related project and some trademarks for Trump family businesses.
