Firm response to Russia is welcome. But odd for Obama to use identical language on "time and place of choosing", maybe public, maybe not.

These are the same exact words used in October (not response then). And same used w/ OPM where no action against China was ultimately taken.

I do believe we're going to see a strong response now; there's nothing left to lose. But the words themselves don't mean much, considering.

How is there nothing left to lose? Unless you assume Putin wouldn't take advantage of Trump, there's always escalation, no?

I think escalation fears were less salient than fears of pushing Russia away on Syria. Yes, escalation is a problem..

We're light years ahead and yet a fairly simple phishing attack, using known tools, can bring down democracy?

Yes. Guerrillas have some advantages because of asymmetric vulnerabilities, but still no match on true military might.

True military might or true cybercom might?
