Espionage is a tradition in the world, in fact a feature. On the other hand if it’s an infrastructure attack it’s an act of war. Biden can’t do much about the former and has grave choices if it’s the latter.

Espionage is easier

Spies are shot, everyone agrees

Started when Trump was the likely winner of the election.

Oh well then that's something completely different.
Putin's way of saying," "I want for us to meet again in Helsinki, Donushka".

This was our President’s response, for those who missed it.

Is it an insult to call a moron a moron!

I’ve not heard a lot of calls for unity, except from Trumpists ridiculing the idea. And they misspelled “Magats”

You missed Joe Biden's victory speech?

I heard him say to Trump voters something like “we should give each other a chance”. I thought it was quite tastefully done.

Democracy prevailed': Biden urges unity as he condemns efforts to overturn election

As the Electoral College moves to seal his victory, the president-elect is shifting his attention to the pandemic.

"We saw something very few predicted, even thought possible: The biggest voter turnout in the history of the United States of America. A number so big that this election now ranks as the clearest demonstration of the true will of the American people," Biden said. "It should be celebrated, not attacked."

"In America, politicians don’t take power — the people grant it to them," Biden said. "The flame of democracy was lit in this nation a long time ago. And we now know that nothing — not even a pandemic —or an abuse of power — can extinguish that flame."

He decried Republicans' numerous legal challenges of the election results as an "unprecedented assault on our democracy" and called for solidarity across the partisan divide.

Biden praised election workers who braved a global pandemic and also an unprecedented misinformation campaign claiming the election was rife with fraud. He also denounced threats of violence at election workers and officials from conspiracy theorists buying into Trump's claims of a stolen election.

"It is my sincere hope we never again see anyone subjected to the kind of threats and abuse we saw in this election," Biden said. "It's simply unconscionable."

Biden also used the speech to emphasize his public commitment to being "president for all Americans," not only those who voted for him.

I think we have a remarkable amount of that. Lots of Republicans are horrified at what Trump is doing. Even many that are outwardly going along with it.
