Biden needs to make clear to Putin that cyberattacks will have consequences: Rep. McCaul
Fox News
Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas argued the Biden administration needs to “hit back” and respond with a "cyber-offensive attack' against Russia's alleged involvement in U.S. cyberattacks Wednesday on “America Reports.”
I think the president should be very clear to Putin that if these continue, once we do the attribution, which means finding out the source of the attack, that we are going to hit back and we're going to we're going to respond with a cyber-offensive attack that we're very capable of doing as a nation. Only until we have that threat to Putin and the Russian criminal organizations will this bad behavior stop. Otherwise, it will continue. … Remember, this is a first meeting with a leader of a foreign country, in this case, a foreign adversary in their country, not in the United States. So it's a very significant development. And I hope the president brings up these issues. But at the energy policy alone is the hypocrisy just mystifies me that we're going to be shutting down the Keystone pipeline, but allowing Putin to complete his pipeline into Europe, making them more energy-dependent on Russia, not the United States. And it's a far dirtier form of energy as well. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW HERE:More Related News
