"The Pentagon hasn't publicly identified a specific country as FORTRESS's target. But in a February 2024 joint advisory, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, NSA, and FBI warned that Chinese state-sponsored hackers known as Volt Typhoon had compromised IT networks of U.S. organizations in the communications, energy, transportation, and water sectors.

The agencies said the hackers were potentially positioning themselves to disrupt essential services during a future conflict. Microsoft first flagged the group's activity in 2023.

The Pentagon hasn't released a cost estimate or timeline. A senior defense official told reporters Oct. 20 that officials are still assessing the needs of roughly 500 bases in the continental U.S. and that fully meeting the goal could take decades, according to Air & Space Forces Magazine.

The magazine estimated the cost could run into the tens of billions of dollars, if not hundreds of billions."

"The concerns aren't new. Britain's 2025 National Security Strategy named Russia the country's most acute threat and flagged Iranian hostile activity.

It also cast China as a sophisticated, persistent challenge and highlighted undersea cables, energy pipelines, and transportation networks as infrastructure to protect.

A July government resilience report pointed to new conflict in the Middle East, a growing number of sub-threshold attacks from Russia and several major cyberattacks.

Britain's National Cyber Security Centre handled more than 200 cyber incidents affecting critical infrastructure and its supporting ecosystem between June 2025 and May 2026.

NCSC chief executive Richard Horne said in June that about 75% of those incidents were believed to be linked to state actors, naming Russia, China, and Iran."

NOT to worry, though... Trump Loves China and Russia; they have HIS kind of Dictators.

Notice how all of those who claimed Biden was "weaponizing" the doj are silent over actual weaponization of the DOJ.

Project25 et al accuses Biden of weaponizing the DoJ so THEY can weaponize the DoJ... with an Actual Criminal in the WH:

"The debate has moved beyond rhetoric into official policy actions. Following the return of the Trump administration, leadership at the DOJ, including Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, has used findings from internal reviews to implement sweeping changes.

While the administration frames these moves as restoring integrity to the prosecutorial system, critics continue to view them as the realization of Project 2025's blueprint to align federal law enforcement with partisan objectives."

"DOJ's First Weaponization' Report Is a Bust

But the Weaponization Working Group has discovered very little "weaponization" at all.

And whatever sins it does describe"both real and imagined"may serve as justification for perpetrating the very thing it decries.

The weaponization report takes the form of a classic Trump two-step: First, claim that normal law-enforcement work, when directed against you oryour friends, is illegitimate; then, use that supposed illegitimacy as justification for your own revenge

This is justice according only to the playground principle of "I'm rubber; you're glue."

The only ones who can get away with calling Lil' Donnie names are those like "Heil" Musk, who give him Millions in Bribes and profit Billions off of that in preferential Gov Contracts and Enormous Tax Cuts.

This last one only cost the American people a LOT of money... and some African nations several Million deaths due to starvation and disease, most of whom were children.

Thanks, Trumpers!
