White House national security adviser John Bolton says the U.S. will grow its offensive cyberspace operations, which recently was focused on stopping election interference, to counter other digital attacks

WASHINGTON—The U.S. intends to expand offensive operations in cyberspace to counter digital economic espionage and other commercial hacks, White House national security adviser John Bolton said Tuesday, while also dismissing talk of a split with President Trump on North Korea and other hot spots.

Mr. Bolton said recent U.S. offensive cyber operations, conducted since Mr. Trump relaxed restrictions last year, had been primarily focused on stopping election interference. But the U.S. is now broadening its efforts to counter...

Not something to brag about

It’s 2019. Better late than never. I wonder if he’s still on dial-up?

About time

Bolton..... we're fucked!!!

'John Bolton' 👇 Dictator Trump's coffee boy

Finally somebody inside admin is calling the US military budget the right way - not defence budget but offense budget

So . . . green light for Russian election influence in 2020? Why not? It worked in 2016.

Bolton is a warmonger. Perhaps even more dangerous than Trump. He’s been itching for the US to attack Iran for no apparent reason for many years. America has not won a war in almost 75 years, and Bolton wants another pointless, winless, and endless war?

So he apparently doesn’t know how big U.S. capabilities already are, or is down-playing them to prepare for bigger budgets and more “operations.”

About time. !

He better talk to Mitch, because he’s singing a different tune.

Don’t tell Trump.

maggieNYT That is news.

Anything that guy says is suspect

ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW

maggieNYT Like the ones leveled against Devin Nunes by that cow ...

hrcsupervol01 Focus on anything but securing our elections, isn’t that right? Trump can’t win without multiple foreign countries attacking us with the GOP’s blessing.

Like web sites that insult John Bolton.

If commenters only would read the article... One of the most disturbing aspects of this summary is that Bolton's remarks seem sane & reasonable - no doubt the result of being in the orbit of a man so batty that even Bolton has to provide guardrails.

maggieNYT Wouldn’t it be defensive? Oh yeah forgot we weren’t the good guys

maggieNYT I guess.

Well that didn’t work out so well, what makes him think they can do more?

Lost me at the mustache.

maggieNYT bolton just found out he can wage war online and in the real world

Offensive? As in acting JUST LIKE RUSSIA?

And we should believe you?

Um, can we at least stop election interference first though?

you mean rebuild after Snowden crushed them ?

maggieNYT WHY can't we do both

maggieNYT ..like 'Napster' and 'My Space'..😒

cool, now do elections too

Yeah, we, brazilians, know that ...

maggieNYT It only took how many years?! Wtf!

maggieNYT No spying on KJU tho, Trump wouldn't like that under his auspices.

White House national security adviser John Bolton says the U.S. will grow its offensive cyberspace operations, which has a laser like focus on ignoring U.S. election interference, to counter other digital attacks

maggieNYT Anything to not defend outcejections and let Putin on

Bolton. That guy cant distinguish cyber from gmail.

Oh good I feel safe now

Mexico has yet to expand asylum-seeker program agreed to with U.S.Mexico has yet to expand the number of border crossings where U.S.-bound asylum ... They just made the deal yesterday 🙄 Sadly, this deal with Mexico is a joke. 6,000 troops won't have any effect on 100+k people a month. And they are not going to take jobs/stay in Mexico. The only real solution is rapid deportation. Only when exhausted people start showing up back home having failed will it stop. Mexico won't follow through. Tariffs go on next week.

Franklin Graham applauded the State Department's rainbow flag ban, saying gay pride is 'offensive' to ChristiansProminent Evangelist Franklin Graham thanked President Donald Trump and the State Department for helping deny U.S. embassies from flying the rainbow pride flag. Some would say he’s offensive to Jesus The rainbow flag 🌈 stands for God's covenant and a future hope.....in Christ. Pride merely stole, distorted and perverted its truth entirely. see Genesis 9 vs 13-17. Homophobic, intolerant Christians, that is.
