Wonder when they're gonna turn the lights out!

Regardless they are equally responsible weather authorized by the Kremlin or not. The US prosecutes and imprisons cyber terrorist groups that cause disruption to the global market and than some.turning a blind eye to these criminals' activities factor in a little bit of responsibility on their part; but these attacks are not actually authorized or sanctioned by the Russian government.
21st century Russia is not the Soviet Union. Russians have many more freedoms and rights now, including the ability to leave the country anytime they wish.Regardless they are equally responsible weather authorized by the Kremlin or not.

The Russians given they have no rights or freedoms should be very easy for them to find and imprison cyber criminals in their house or back yard so to speak.
The US has every right to respond or deal consequences to the Russian Federation if they have know about the problem for sometime and have done nothing about it.
You are right. The Russians enjoy more freedoms than they did not even 30 years ago. But their civil liberties, privacy, freedoms, and speech are still almost none existent.21st century Russia is not the Soviet Union.

Correct. It should be a tit for tat but with the US taking it just a step further without crossing the military threshold line.I will agree that the US has the right to respond to these attacks if Russia is aware of them and does nothing to stop them; but it should not be a military response.
Which those things slow down justice in the West is my point, Russia could more easily and quickly find and arrest these cyber groups in their backyard since they don't technically have any civil rights. Whatever the Kremlin wants gets and be damned anyone in the way including/especially their own people.But their civil liberties, privacy, freedoms, and speech are still almost none existent.
Afraid no, concern yesPerhaps several Americans suffer from paranoia which is called red fear (Russia | China), several of your fellow citizens often blame these 2 countries for all your problems.
Are you afraid?
Well we will never know. Even so if we are to find out Russia isn't aiding these groups, Russia is just as responsible for not taking any action since it's happening in their backyard.Only that it’s a possibility that cannot be dismissed that they were state sponsored.
That's if the attackers didn't use something to hide their IP address such as TOR or a VPN. And I would imagine they would do that if they're smart.Biden made a statement today saying "if Russia is behind this, there will be consequences." He went on to say he already warned Putin of consequences two weeks ago if there where any further attacks originating from Russia.
He says that in this video:
I can't imagine it's anything serious Biden can or will do. But I'd prefer the US carry out counter cyber attacks for each one they have done to us with a little extra kick or flare.
Something that would be right at the line but not crossing the threshold for real conflict for counter cyber attacks.
There is a way to find the origins of a attack even if they mask themselves digitally, trust me.That's if the attackers didn't use something to hide their IP address such as TOR or a VPN. And I would imagine they would do that if they're smart.
