Espionage is an old story. Long ago Moses dispatched twelve spies to explore the land of Canaan as a future home for the Israelite people. They reported they had found a land flowing with milk and honey. On December 8, 2020 it was disclosed that individuals, almost certainly Russian, had hacked the U.S. security firm Fire Eye, only one of the many targets compromised in the cybersecurity industry. It soon became apparent that foreign hackers had attacked both governmental and unofficial organizations. A large-scale espionage campaign has breached the U.S. Treasury and Commerce Departments and other government agencies. Microsoft and customers were compromised, and emails had been stolen from U.S. private sector companies. The victim of a highly sophisticated targeted attack, Orion Platform, the server of the network management system Solar Winds, which produces software for the U.S. government and private companies, was breached.

Corruption and sabotage of network systems has now become an important concern. Cyberattacks have been made on the White House, State Department, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The intelligence agencies of Russia are successor agencies to the KGB, the symbol of the Cold War, are administratively independent of each other, and most report to the president of Russia. The SVR, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, is concerned with the collection of intelligence of foreign countries. The GRU, the main intelligence directorate, the primary intelligence agency of the Armed Forces, and reputedly the largest foreign intelligence agency, appeared responsible for hacking the Democratic National Convention in 2016. The FSB, Federal Security Service, designated successor to the KGB, also operates internationally.

Russia kicked down the door and the Chinese pored in and exploited the hole, along with the Russians.

Putin knew that the election would be stolen and approved of the steal due to the whole Iran crisis earlier this year and the oil price war that nearly collapsed the Russian economy which Trump waged against Iran in cooperation with the Saudis and Gulf arabs. Putin also knows that Biden will mean higher energy prices, and that precious metals and materials prices will go up higher (Solar panels, batteries, ect). Uranium as well.
