America's Lost Cyberwar
Did the United States really lose a cyberwar against Russia? According to this piece, it did — and it does not want to admit it. Instead, the Trump administration is planning a huge military parade.
But what for?
America lost a cyberwar to Russia in 2016, the result of which was the election of Trump. Defeat is hard to face; but every delay in facing the hard facts makes matters worse. This is no time for parades.

We will see what this means for the future.
