    Folks ... I promise you I didn't make this headlines up.  Trump said
     "Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded and safe,"  Am I missing something here?  This sounds like a terrible idea.  A cyber security unit with RUSSIA? Trump really needs to be more strategic in his ideas and leave the lunacy to other third world dictators.

    Vladimir Putin helped Donald J. Trump to win US presidency, so perhaps it makes great sense for Pres. Trump to join Putin by going forward. Besides, about half of the GOP voters consider Russia as either friendly or an ally, according to a poll.

    I am struggling to understand why Trump takes Putin's (A KGB officer)  words over US intelligence agencies findings about Russia's involvement in 2016 elections.

     “I am sure that Vladimir Putin could be of enormous assistance in that effort since he’s doing the hacking.”

          Arizona Senator John McCain  

    Cyber security is a critical part of any government security strategy

    According  to U.S head of Military Cyber Command Keith B. Alexander , cyber attacks on facilities classified as critical infrastructure in the United States have increased 17-fold since 2009.

    Does Trump even understand how cyber security works ?

    The US government is  going to share codes, encryption algorithms with the Russians.  

    Will this "Cyber-Security Unit" violate CISA (Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act), which allows the sharing of Internet traffic information between the U.S. government and technology and manufacturing companies. 

    in 2007, Estonia was hit with a massive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that knocked almost all ministry networks and two major bank networks offline. DDoS attack  occurred after the removal of a Russian WWII memorial

    Putin cannot be trusted.  Russia is still conducting cyberattacks against the US.  The world must think Americans are fools.

    We're kinda proving them right, given who our two most prominent political parties ran for our country's highest office.
