Any lingering notion that the Trump administration is in bed with the Russians was nuked this week as the administration leveled a series of accusations and sanctions against Vladimir Putin's regime.
On Thursday, for the first time publicly, the U.S. blamed the Russian government for a years-long cyber attack campaign targeting the U.S. power grid.
On Thursday, the administration issued a security alert detailing Russia's orchestrated attempts to hack into our energy grid via government-employed hackers.
The technical alert, a result of analyses by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, concluded that the Russian government conducted a "Multi-stage intrusion campaign" targeting "U.S. Government entities as well as organizations in the energy, nuclear, commercial facilities, water, aviation, and critical manufacturing sectors."
The administration says the attacks have been taking place since at least March 2016.
This week, the Trump administration also slapped Russia with sanctions against a total of 19 Russians for their role in attempting to meddle with the 2016 election.
The sanctions and alert came one day after U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley slammed the Russians for a nerve agent attack against a former spy and warned that Russia might one day use chemical weapons against the U.S. "If we don't take immediate concrete measures to address this now, Salisbury will not be the last place we see chemical weapons used," Haley told the U.N. Security Council.
