      .What a very odd story, the CIA "cyber strike." Leak could be authorised or unauthorised. Authorised more likely. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/cia-prepping-possible-cyber-strike-against-russia-n666636 …

          Screw what Russia thinks. They are mafia mentality. They only respect force. They need to get smacked in the face to think twice.
