If it's not a tit-for-tat asymmetrical war going on, then what explains the close timing of these events? The advantage for Putin is that he is successfully sending a message to US operators in Russia. Note that the response from Russia is also proportionate to the damage we cause. This isn't a broadening of war; it's surgical precision. And he's got to respond somehow! The thing that is so worrisome is that it seems to be that we go first and Putin goes second. I don't like Noam Chomsky but he was exactly right when he said the U.S. is the most dangerous and violent force in the world today.
As I explained in my second paragraph, it looks to me (and I can only do my best to look through a glass darkly) like our local sociopaths, like Soros and Company, are using headline distractions (and remember they control the media) as cover for overt attacks on our infrastructure.
As for Putin, he is in control. There is no gain for him in a tit-for-tat game even assuming we have the ability to strike small attacks inside Russia that way. However, I find it difficult to believe that we can get small operatives inside Russia like that without getting caught. Just saying.....
We wouldn't have to get our operatives inside Russia. It may well be Russians who work for us. Brett Weinstein was right about this: given the insanity in the world and 5th generation warfare and asymmetrical warfare, it's not a bad idea to make connections and observe patterns that in a sane world we could afford to overlook. Jeff was right when he noted that "at some point correlation does definitely prove causation." He's got timing and proportionality in a multitude of cases.
Guess we'll have to wait and see. But that's an awful lot of James Bond. The much more relevant patterns I see are the attacks against us here at home and the domestic agendas that would serve. Now if the attacks were against some unrelated infrastructure, then I would wonder.
