The outgoing US administration has not given up on its
hope of dealing one last blow to relations with Russia, which it has already
destroyed. Using obviously inspired leaks in the US media, it is
trying to threaten us again with expansion of anti-Russian sanctions,
“diplomatic” measures and even subversion of our computer systems. Moreover,
this final New Year’s “greeting” from Barack Obama’s team, which is already
preparing to leave the White House, is being cynically presented as a response
to some cyber-attacks from Moscow.
Frankly speaking, we are tired of lies about Russian
hackers that continue to be spread in the United States from the very top. The
Obama administration launched this misinformation half a year ago in a bid to
play up to the required nominee at the November presidential election and,
having failed to achieve the desired effect, has been trying to justify its
failure by taking it out with a vengeance on Russian-US relations.
However, the truth about the White House-orchestrated
provocation is bound to surface sooner or later. In fact, this is already happening.
On December 8, US media quoted Georgia’s Secretary of State Brian Kemp as
saying that the local authorities tracked down the origin of a hacker attack on
his voter registration database after the election. The attack was traced to an
IP address of the Department of Homeland Security. This was followed by an
attempt to quickly cover up this information by a flood of new anti-Russian
accusations that did not contain a single piece of evidence.
We can only add that if Washington takes new hostile
steps, it will receive an answer. This applies to any actions against Russian
diplomatic missions in the United States, which will immediately backfire at US
diplomats in Russia. The Obama administration probably does not care at all
about the future of bilateral relations, but history will hardly forgive it for
this après-nous-le-deluge attitude.
