Resistance Is Still Futile

 

I agree with Donald Trump. 'though, normally, I'd scoff;

I think that the Russians must still laugh their asses off,

Gleeful that the couple million rubles that they spent

Bought them such a "useful idiot" for President.

One who won't impose the sanctions that the Congress passed.

One whose foreign policy decisions are half-assed.

One with a well-documented tendency to lie.

One who doesn't trust his NSA or FBI.

They had so much fun the last time that they're back at work;

On-line trolls pretending they're an ordinary jerk.

Then their "bots" start amplifying those extremist views -

Spreading their conspiracies, supported by fake news.

It is kinda funny - in a tragic sorta way;

I've been doing Putin's job for him (without the pay)

Each and every time that I start kicking up a fuss...

That is worth a couple laughs, except the joke's on us.

Sticks and Stones

U.S. Cent. Com.'s on-line social sites have been attacked;

Both their YouTube Channel and their Twitter feed were hacked.

Postings made by something called the Cyber Caliphate:

Threats and a recruitment ad for the Islamic State.

It's a war of words in which we find ourselves engaged;

Battles in the chat rooms of the web are being waged.

'though we clearly lost this one, the war ain't over yet...

So we need to strengthen our defenses on the net.

Sony and Home Depot and at least a dozen more

Companies whose customers must track their credit score

After hackers stole their data...  Happens every day

To the folks who've dared to use a credit card to pay.

We could all be victims of this type of cyber crime

But that's not what ISIL's hackers did to us this time...

We were cyber-bullied; had our noses rubbed in dirt.

Meanwhile, ISIL's getting more than just their feelings hurt.

Calling the Kettle Black

 D.o.J. has made it clear it isn't playing games;

Issued warrants for arrests that named some Chinese names.

5 men in their military we've accused of hacking...

Though our moral high-ground, after Edward Snowden's, lacking.

Justice claims it's not the same as what our country does;

China spies on companies and that's worse than ours was.

When we spy it's not a crime - when China does it is...

Our Ambassador was summoned.  Glad my job's not his.

Tensions are already high with us and the Chinese

Over actions they've committed on South China Seas.

Philippines and Vietnam are mad at China, too

And they wonder what their U.S. allies plan to do.

Wish we'd picked a better battle than the one we did.

After Edward Snowden's leaks blew off NSA's lid

Seems to me our outrage at their cyber hack-attack

Feels a lot like our pot's calling China's kettle black.
