North Korea, Russia, Iran vs. US - Cyber Warfare

Telegraph: Reports the following, " China may have helped North Korea carry out the hacking attack on Sony Pictures, a US official has told Reuters....There were also reports on Friday that Iran and Russia may have also helped the North Korean hackers ".

Lets Get Real:

North Korea might think because Sony folded over this move then they might try someone, the NSA has to come down hard on North Korea and so does the Oval Office, what if there is a book, TV show, film, Internet project that upsets the North Koreans and they threaten cyber warfare on banks, the power grid, planes, etc you get the idea, you do not give a fool like the leader of North Korea that thought.    Thus the US should come out with tough sanctions, even tougher that the tough sanctions on North Korea already.  Evil should never be appeased, so lets put two fingers up to North Korea and its prat leder. 

The FBI and Sony Hack - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian - Live on NKorea: Reports the following in its 5.49pm post from the FBI, " The FBI now has enough information to conclude that the North Korean government is responsible for these actions. While the need to protect sensitive sources and methods precludes us from sharing [all the details of its evidence], ..."

Lets Get Real:

The question is what should the US do, well after a 9/11 type threat from the Sony hackers the Oval has to DO SOMETHING, if North Korea can take down Sony who else might their eyes turn too.    The US should tighten the security around US Government computers, also increase the presence of NSA in protecting private security.    Then the NSA should take down the computer services in North Korea, also make it clear to North Korea, the film will be shown in US, any terror threat will be seen as a threat on the US, thus military action, time to back down the idiot in North Korea.   Think would North Korea have tried this with Kennedy or Reagan or even Bush 43. 

North Korea and SONY Hack - New Warfare Cyber Security

BBC News: Reports " The US Federal Bureau of Investigation says North Korea was behind a cyber-attack on Sony Pictures over a film about its leader Kim Jong-un. "

Lets Get Real:

This shows what happens to the US when you have a weak President, North Korea can force a major film studio to drop a film.   If SONY is not tough then it should release the movie on the Internet for free, that would at least show that the studio was not going to be bullied by the IDIOT in North Korea, if SONY does not have the backbone it should release the film to private bloggers who will take the risk and publish it on their own websites.   Lets be clear here, Kim Jong-un is evil, mad, self centered idiot, with the bomb.   The West has to stand up to this small idiot, with the bomb, or next time the price will be something that the Oval can not cave too.   COME ON SONY and the US, take down the idiot in North Korea, show some backbone. 

The US Congress and Cuba - 2016 Race

Fox News: Reports the Republican Congressional reaction to the Obama move on Cuba, " Republican lawmakers pushed back strongly Wednesday against President Obama's decision to enact a series of orders meant to normalize relations with Cuba, with some GOP heavy hitters calling it “another concession to tyranny.” "

Lets Get  Real:

Every time someone is arrested in Cuba now when protesting the Castro Government the blame will be placed on the WEAK Oval.   The Oval Office has placed its Foreign Policy at the hands of the Castro brothers.   Obama can only get away with this ONCE, by doing this deal with the Castro brothers he has blocked ANY DEAL WITH IRAN, there is only so much political weight that the Democrats can carry, they do not want to lose the Cuban American vote, or worse the Jewish vote.  As stated the Obama move is BOLD, but it only works if there are followers, the elite liberal press will love this move, but what happens next is important, a leader can lead but if there are no troops behind, it does leave the Oval Office on a edgy cliff.  One blow of wind from Cuba or Iran could taken down the Obama Presidency. 

The Cuban Move, Rubio vs. Obama - 2016 Race

CNN - Politics: Reports the following, " Florida Sen. Marco Rubio on Wednesday outlined plans to protest President Barack Obama's move......The Florida Republican has emerged as one of the fiercest critics of Obama's policy shift toward Cuba,.....And he outlined moves he plans to take in the Senate to stymie the administration's efforts. "

Lets Get Real:

This  move by President Obama when it comes to Cuba could be a spring board for Marco Rubio, a Cuban - American to launch his campaign for 2016.    Unlike the West Wing TV Series the Oval needs the US Congress to lift the sanctions against Cuba, and the new Republican Congress will no doubt block any such moves by the Oval.  If the Oval Office tries to go around the US Congress then the Congress could impeach the President.   When it comes to Cuba and US politics the best policy by any President is to keep at arms length, now Obama owns the Cuba policy, the Republicans and critics will jump on the Oval if there is any repression on Cuba by the Castro brothers.    Historic or a Bad policy by Obama depends on the reader. 

How the Republicans will ATTACK the Obama Cuba Move - 2016 Race

Telegraph: Reports the following, " Republicans vowed to do everything they could to thwart what Marco Rubio, a Cuban-American senator from Florida, called a "dangerous and desperate attempt by the President”.

Mr Obama leaves office in two years' time and a Republican president could decide to reverse his decision. Jeb Bush, the son of George HW Bush and leading Republican contender for the White House, said the US should not "negotiating with a repressive regime". "

Lets Get Real:

It does not matter what you think of Obama's move it is bold, but bold moves are only as good if there is support for them, there is still enough anger in the Cuban - American community for this to become an issue in 2016.  In fact President Obama could have sunk the Democratic nominee in 2016, the Obama Oval has placed a lot of trust in Cuban leadership, what if people protest for democracy and the Castro brothers crack down, the move by the Oval will look WEAK and BAD POLICY.   The Oval Office and its staff have watched to much of the TV's West Wing.   They think they will not pay a political price for this move, when it comes to Cuba there is always a price!  Come on 2016.

Cuba and Florida a MAJOR ISSUE for 2016 - 2016 Race

Guardian - US/Cuba Live: Reports the following in its 7.26 post,  oa Q/A between the White House Press Secretary and the Press, " A reporter asks Earnest about whether the next president could simply undo these actions: close the embassy, restrict travel, etc.

Earnest: “I guess as a legal matter that is true. I suspect however, it’s hard to imagine, that anyone’s going to campaign for this office saying, ‘You know that policy we had in place for five decades and didn’t do anything? We’re going to do that!’”

A reporter shoots back that Jeb Bush has said something along those lines. "

Lets Get Real:

This is a great issue for the Republicans to use in Florida, you can hear the adverts now, dark screen, voice over, Obama THOUGHT he knew better than any President since JFK, the RIGHT WAY for Cuba.  Pictures blurs into picture of the Castro brothers smiling, then image of the Berlin Wall coming down, voice over, ITS THE SAME PRESIDENT WHO SAID YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HEALTH PLAN IF YOU LIKE IT.   IMAGE  of Castro with Obama.  voice over, DO YOU TRUST THESE GUYS.
