So that was Trump's unbelievable announcement yesterday.Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded..— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 9, 2017
Which as we know received an incredulous response from the media and an angry backlash from many Democratic and Republicans lawmakers.
So then in response Trump tweeted this out later in the evening.
So wait, Trump announced the creation of a cyber security unit that he always knew could never happen?The fact that President Putin and I discussed a Cyber Security unit doesn't mean I think it can happen. It can't-but a ceasefire can,& did!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 10, 2017
Do the Russians know this can never happen?
Well not exactly:
Asked about Trump’s comments, a Russian official told reporters on Monday that while there might not be a formal task force, the two leaders “reached an agreement” to coordinate more on cybersecurity.
Okay so no task force, but we are still coordinating with the Russians on cyber security?
Does that seem like a distinction without a difference to anybody else?
