I agree its nothing new. But using game graphics and toy models in an attempt to convince me that what they're telling me is the truth? You know what they say, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

I wonder what they would use as evidence to support how exactely this administration is countering such attacks?

Was it presented as evidence or was it simply b-roll footage to show something looking like "hacking"?

Edit: It was the latter, orignal video:

And this, gentlemen, is what they call a classical own-goal.

How can one be so stupid.

It is to our advantage to paint the Russians as bad guys.

Our MIC needs an adversary to justify large expenditures.

North Korea is still JV
China is really not cooperating
Terrorism does not require mega systems.

That leaves "ol' reliable".

Whilst at the same time discrediting the guy that's the most danger to their obscene expenditures since Ike.
