Letter: Cooperation with Russia will hurt America
Early in his first term, after a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Donald Trump announced the idea of forming a Russia-U.S. joint cybersecurity unit. Sen. Lindsey Graham's reaction: 'Not the dumbest idea I ever heard, but it's pretty close.' Secretary of State Rex Tillerman leaked an insult to the president's intelligence. Trump's initial choice for national security adviser, Gen. Michael Flynn, was found to be an unregistered foreign agent. Trump's new administration has given adult immigrant Elon Musk and his security-breaching cyber snoop troops full access to information. And by his own rules, Trump can declassify and unsecure anything he wants 'just by thinking about it.' A joint U.S.-Russia cybersecurity union can take its fill on this information bonanza with limitless quid pro quo in the offing. The Kremlin would be well-served by a pro-Putin, anti-NATO American dictator sharing cybersecurity. Trump's appointee as director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is viewed by Ukrainian intelligence people as a Kremlin asset. So does Russian state-run TV. And so do many people of intelligence north of the Gulf of Mexico. William R. Fretz Perry Township
