Senator Mark Warner is a notoriously corrupt Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, one of the central pillars of the Fourth Branch of Government. In this interview, Warner discusses the “grey area” of cyber-attacks and how any downstream consequence that imperils U.S. lives can be used as a justification by NATO to engage the Article-5 trigger and consider any Russian intrusion an attack against NATO allies.
Example: Russia shuts down the Ukraine power grid that is also connected to Poland. As a direct consequence, a traffic signal or infrastructure malfunction occurs, and a U.S. military convoy has an accident. A U.S. servicemember is injured or killed. [Or any other non-kinetic action that creates a kinetic consequence.] Does NATO then have justification to attack Russia? Warner is previewing a scenario the Fourth Branch hopes to exploit.
Additionally, within the interview [05:44 prompted], Senator Warner outlines the western approach toward Russia using cryptocurrency as a method to evade sanctions. Notably, Warner outlines that U.S. intelligence/U.S. Govt has control over U.S-based crypto exchanges and they are working with ‘partners’ in the financial sector to mitigate the use of crypto exchanges by non-U.S. actors.

The conversation is about Russia, for now. However, as noted by the Canada example recently, it’s a short hop from Russia to those who are defined as ‘domestic threats.’
Its just not like the good old days…
Mark Warner is a CRIMINAL. He was a major player in the RUSSIAN COLLUSION HOAX perpetrated against Trump. He participated in an ATTEMPTED COUP! How can he be allowed to remain in the US Senate? He is a CRIMINAL like so many other democRATS! PURGE him.
IMHO, old Markie is one of Virgina’s and the Dimocrat’s “finest”. Seems Markie “knows” a little about the Russkies, but did he really know anuthing about search engines resulting in his $6 Million payment from the Russian company Yandex? I enjoy joking about the possibility that mark is potential proof that some Neanderthals did survive.

“Democrat Senator from Virginia Mark Warner has his own Russian problem that doesn’t seem to be getting a sniff of media attention. In 2012, Warner (who is worth $80 million) got paid at least $6 million from Russian tech company Yandex.”
Mark Warner on cnn….. IMHO, isn’t that the classical example of a complete waste of time?
Bunch of crooks running the country right now. Disgusting.
