Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Hegseth gave the instruction to Cyber Command chief Gen. Timothy Haugh, who then informed the organization’s outgoing director of operations, Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Ryan Heritage, of the new guidance, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.
The order does not apply to the National Security Agency, which Haugh also leads, or its signals intelligence work targeting Russia, the sources said.
While the full scope of Hegseth’s directive to the command remains unclear, it is more evidence of the White House’s efforts to normalize ties with Moscow after the U.S. and international allies worked to isolate the Kremlin over its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Fucking traitors.
Don’t worry guys. I’m sure there’s a lawsuit incoming. That will teach them fascists.
In a year or two the russians are gonna be building their own f-35s and have a remote switch for the us power grid.
Why try to normalize relations with a country that is currently invading a democratically elected and peaceful country which, by the way, you have signed treaties to protect.
None of this makes sense unless they are Russian assets.
Ship them all off to Russia
“normalize ties with” = “suck up to”
