Now here's a great idea that Trump and Putin came up with. Let's join in a joint Cyber Security arrangement that would be impenetrable. That way the folks who are threatening to bring us down by hacking into our electoral process will be able to build in cookies and whatever they want to make it easier for them to hack us. Putin's no dummy, but Trump must be. Of course when he found out that nobody in America thought it was a good thing to do, Trump changed his mind last night and said they only talked about it.
Really? They actually talked about it? I know, I know, I promised not to come down on our president, but, come on, this was a really stupid thing to consider. I heard one statement on TV about working with the fox on poultry safety. Who better to advise us on how to stop cyber attacks then the guys who want to penetrate our security? That way, they learn all of our weaknesses instead of just some of them.
I have to say President Trump has outdone himself on this one. And when you do an about face so quickly on something so patently foolish, it's not because you though better of it, it's because you didn't think about it in the first place. Talk about the potential for national security being breached. I understand his desire for isolationism, but he needs to begin to think before he acts. Isolationism didn't work in the past and there's absolutely no reason to think it'll work now. And partnering with Putin on Cyber Security can never work.
