In his last few days as the US President, Barak Obama is trying to act against Russia for interfering in the recent US polls which went against the Democratic Party. He has ejected 35 Russian Intelligence Operatives from the US and imposed sanctions on Russia’s two leading Intelligence Services, including four top officers of the Military Intelligence. They were responsible for the attacks on the Democratic National Committee and other political organizations. The US is expected to release evidence linking the cyber attacks to computer systems used by Russian Intelligence. President-elect Donald Trump has however cast doubts on whether the Russian government had anything to do with the hacking. He has said that the US intelligence agencies could not be trusted. Starting on the wrong foot and showing over friendliness with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He may or may not lift the sanctions when he takes over in the White House.
Trump has struck a new note saying that computers have complicated lives greatly. The whole age of computer has made things uncertain about knowing where anybody is aware exactly what is going on. His comments are significant presaging new frontiers in US thinking. At the same time, Obama Administration will present a joint analytic report from the FBI and Homeland security producing evidence collected from tapped conversations. It is not clear how effective sanctions will be. They will go well beyond the modest sanctions imposed on North Korea for its attacks on Sony Pictures Entertainment. It is expected the crisis will blow over in the interest of peace in West Asia.
