In a speech delivered yesterday before the U.S. Intelligence Community gathered at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (Avril Haines), President Biden went out of his way to have a love fest with the IC and distance himself from Trump’s brawl with them over the years he was in office – which was one of the strong points of the Trump Presidency. Biden stated:
“We have to work in cooperation with nations like China and Russia that are our competitors — and possibly mortal competitors down the road — in the context of there’s — to meet the existential threats, for example, of climate change. There are certain things that are in our mutual interest.… There are things where we should be — where we should be cooperating.”
He almost invited a British-orchestrated cyber provocation by stating: “Well, if we end up in a war, a real shooting war with a major power, it’s going to be as a consequence of a cyber breach of great consequence. And it’s increasing exponentially — the capabilities.”
