The new war games: Russian botnet ninjas are attacking internet service in former soviet satellite countries.

Forreal.

Russia also recently cut off oil to Lithuania and lied about it and then embargoed Polish meat and Georgian wine… It’s a scandal, all of it. Next thing you know President Poohtin will be giving the finger to the UN, waging preemptive wars on messed-up strategically important countries and setting up an extra-legal torture prison gulag where Connie Chung will sing for the prisoners… I mean really horrible stuff!

The Pentagon has “quietly” sent people over to Estonia to investigate, because we stand by our allies—especially if it means we can send our spies to dick around in their internet infrastructure free of charge and with no political downside. Yeah we do!

It’s the Hollywood movie of the events that will make a difference, of course (see Blood Diamond, etc). The straight-to-DVD version will maybe feature Matthew Broderick as an Estonian tech-geek hero and Angelina Jolie as a genius scantily clad Kremlin hacker (with a really bad Russian accent). Oooh Natasha!
