On the 15th, the New York Times quoted a number of current and former US government officials as saying that the United States is increasing network intrusion into russia's power network as a warning to Russia. In the event of a major conflict with Russia, the United States also has the ability to launch cyberattacks. CNN quoted the New York Times as saying that last year, the US Congress passed the military authorization bill, and the US invasion of the Russian power grid seems to be carried out within the framework of this bill. Officials interviewed also revealed that they believe Trump does not yet know the details, but expressed concern about how Trump will react to Russia's actions.
At present, the White House, the head of the Cyber Command of the Defense Department's agency, Paul Nakasone, and national security adviser Bolton have refused to answer questions. National Security Council officials also declined to comment, but they said there were no national security concerns.
Publicly "exposed to black material" by the media, Trump immediately tweeted denial and angrily replied.
"Can you believe it, the failed New York Times just reported that the United States is ramping up cyberattacks on Russia. This is the real act of treason, from a once great newspaper that is so desperate to write a report, anything, even if it is harmful to our country. And, this! No! be! true! target! Trump wrote on Twitter with a slight "rage."

Later, he added: "Anything can appear in our fake news media these days. They say everything, no matter what the cost, without even considering the consequences! They are real cowards and, without a doubt, enemies of the people! ”
Soon, the New York Times replied to Trump's tweet and countered head-on: "It is dangerous to accuse the media of treason." The newspaper also stressed that "before we reported publicly, we had described the content of the article to the government department." As mentioned in the article, President Trump, your own national security officer, said there was no concern. ”
This round of public "confrontation" between the president and the media has also aroused heated discussion among netizens.
Some netizens simply replied with a "yes" word, suspected of expressing support for Trump. ⬇️
But most netizens are blaming Trump. ⬇️
"You condemn the New York Times' report that the United States launched a cyberattack on Russia, while at the same time launching a cyberattack on the New York Times for Russia?"
"I think you spend too much time every day on Twitter. You should probably do something else instead of grumbling day after day. ”
"This accusation sounds a lot like what the president of the United States did."
"More evidence suggests that Trump is the enemy of the people."
Who is better at this round of fighting?
