U.S. TOOK PART IN OFFENSIVE CYBER OPS TO SUPPORT UKRAINE, TOP COMMANDER SAYS

Paul Nakasone, the U.S. Cyber Command director, confirmed in an interview last week that the department “conducted a series of operations” in support of Ukraine’s war effort against Russia. 

The four-star general did not go into specific details about what the operations entailed during his interview with Sky News, but said these offensive cyber operations spanned “across the full spectrum: offensive, defensive, information operations.” 

The Hill reported that Nakasone insisted that the operations were lawful.

“My job is to provide a series of options to the secretary of Defense and the president, and so that’s what I do,” he said, according to the report. He made the comments during a cyber conference in Estonia. RT reported that he also revealed that the U.S. ‘eavesdroppers conduct information warfare, with the help of corporate media such as CNN.”

He said the U.S. provides true information in its information warfare while the Russians lie. In April, The Trends Journal ran a report that called U.S. reports on Russia’s alleged use of a lie. NBC News published a report that challenged Washington’s claim that Russia is planning a chemical attack against Ukrainian forces, with one unnamed official going as far as to say that the claim was an effort by the U.S. to get into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s head. 

The report cited three U.S. officials who said there is no evidence that Russia is planning a chemical attack against Ukraine.

Some analysts say the U.S. is fighting a proxy war with Russia, but we have pointed out that Washington is in a direct war with Moscow. The U.S. has been providing intelligence and weapons training.  (See “U.S. INTEL HELPED UKRAINE KILL RUSSIAN GENERALS, SINK FLAGSHIP, REPORTS SAY.”)

The Pentagon denied the report.

TREND FORECAST: By their deeds you shall know them. Gerald Celente has noted that the U.S. is NOT fighting a “proxy war” with Russia, the reality is that with its endless supplies of lethal weapons and intelligence to Ukraine, Washington is, in fact, at war with Moscow. 

Nakasone said in the interview that the U.S. deployed specialists to 16 countries to “hunt forward” and seek out potential foreign hackers. 

“We went in December 2021 at the invitation of the Kyiv government to come and hunt with them,” he said, according to RT. “We stayed there for a period of almost 90 days.” 

The Trends Journal has said that the U.S. is already at war with Moscow through its actions from the beginning of the war. Washington illegally seized assets held by private Russian citizens, provided over $50 billion in aid to Ukraine, and recently said it will send advanced rocket systems into Kyiv.

Nakasone’s agency did not immediately respond to an email inquiry from the Trends Journal. 

Nakasone said the U.S. is conducting operations to dismantle Russian “propaganda,” according to The Hill. 

“We had an opportunity to start talking about what particularly the Russians were trying to do in our midterm elections. We saw it again in 2020, as we talked about what the Russians and Iranians were going to do, but this was on a smaller scale,” he said. 

TREND FORECAST: The U.S. has been provoking Russia since before the invasion and has been focused solely on propping up Kyiv with weapons…no talk of peace. 

Washington has said it essentially hopes to kill Russia with 1,000 cuts. The hope in D.C. is that the Russians will eventually tire of the Ukrainian misadventure and force a regime change in the Kremlin. That will not happen so the war will drag on until Russia defeats Ukraine and Kyiv is forced to negotiate for a cease fire.
