At this point, how do we know we’re not the ones doing this to try to bring about the war?

So why not just cut off Russia's internet access ?

Oh yeah, if we do that all of those "essential" offshore specialists won't be able to replace Americans.

How can you possibly have any hostilities against a country which you are economically dependent on ?

Only a bunch of Leftist MBA types would get us into this mess.

He didn’t say which banks were attacked or what the extent of the damage was.

well, that would be important information.

There is little doubt that Russia continues to pressure Ukraine with cyberattacks and large amounts of troops on its borders. However the Russians have already achieved their territorial ambitions without firing a shot. Their “peacekeeper” troops seized the teritories and came across the borders unopposed. Now they are dug in and have been reinforced. It is highly doubtful that Ukraine will try to counterattack and face overwhelming combined Russian arms. The facts on the ground have been established. Russia will only unleash death and destruction on the rest of Ukraine only if Ukraine would foolishly try a counterattack in the seized territories. they will keep up the tension as a negotiating ploy to reduce sanctions and reach a settlement that prevents Ukraine from joining NATO. Doubt they will get a formal concession, despite the pressure, from Ukraine recognizing the Russian seizure of Crimea or these two provinces. In the absense of death and destruction, American markets are already recovering.

Any chance this could simply be a Ukrainian back run?

Another theory - Maybe the US is responsible for the cyber attack... A few years ago I used to watch the Norse attack map (it has since disappeared), and significantly more attacks originated in China and the US than in Russia.The latest map I’ve found is FireEye Cyber. The current map shows the US attacking Ukraine (and vice versa.) It does not show Russia and Ukraine attacking each other.
