The US is at war. That's probably not exactly news, as the country has been engaged in one type of conflict or another for most of its history. The last time we officially declared war was after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

Our biggest undeclared war today is not being fought by drones in the mountains of Afghanistan or even through the less-lethal barrage of threats over the nuclear programs in North Korea and Iran. In this particular war, it is the US that is under attack and on the defensive.

This is cyberwarfare.

    Nice bootlicking attitude there. You don't need to see any evidence because your betters have told you what to believe. Next you'll be touching your cap and saying "yes m'lud" every time one of them gives you an order.

    Nice try.

    On the balance of all the evidence, what reasons do I have to outright disbelieve statements from the U.S Intelligence Community? Why would the CIA, NSA, whatever lie about this?

    Whatever reasons you have to distrust them, aren't nearly as rational or numerous as the reasons to trust them. What logic and wisdom is present when you ignore their warnings?

    Respond with that. Actual constructive reasons, not QAnon-blah-blah-bullshit, but some positions that could survive a few moments of scrutiny by anybody with a few brain cells.
