this idea that the russians are highly advanced in cyberwarfare is essentially the same lie that they used to siphon trillions and trillions of dollars of public money, that should be used for the public good, out into the military-industrial complex during the height of the cold war.

in actual fact, the russians are decades and decades behind both the united states and israel when it comes to electronic warfare, so a report like this is impossible to believe on it's face. if the russians are making any attempt to jam communications from some bunker in syria, it is probably very primitive and experimental. i mean, they're operating from syria. is that where the russians keep their best minds, on the front line of a multi-sided conflict that could collapse into a world war any day?

so, this is nonsense, and i don't need an investigative report to figure that out.

but, the intent behind this - and the continuing intent behind all of it - is probably just more to get conservatives to support increases in military spending.

i mean, i don't know why google keeps throwing this at me, it's not a serious paper.
