Worst Case Scenario

Vladimir Putin and the Russians have in place plans and the means to hack the entire financial system of the West, to shut down our electrical grid, and to disrupt the supply of clean water to Americans, and our cyber defenses have absolutely NO countermeasures to prevent them. The Russians need not set off an electromagnetic pulse weapon in the atmosphere nor deploy any dirty bombs to do this. They can effectively destroy the West from computer screens, and fervently believe that Joe Biden lacks the will to do what it would take in the real world to stop them.
