In Punishing Russia for SolarWinds, Biden Upends U.S. Convention on Cyber Espionage
Administration said Moscow breached bounds of acceptable online spying with hack’s size and attack on U.S. private sector
Apr. 17, WASHINGTON—President Biden’s decision this week to punish Russia for the SolarWinds hack broke with years of U.S. foreign policy that has tolerated cyber espionage as an acceptable form of 21st century spycraft, analysts and former officials said.
In announcing a suite of punitive measures against Moscow, including financial sanctions and diplomatic expulsions, the White House made clear its actions were in response to “the full scope of Russia’s harmful foreign activities.”
The administration specifically highlighted what it said was Russia’s yearslong meddling in U.S. elections. It also said U.S. intelligence had “high confidence” that Russia’s foreign intelligence service, the SVR, was behind last year’s SolarWinds hack, which compromised at least nine federal agencies and about 100 private-sector organizations.
The administration said both campaigns were unacceptable and demanding of a forceful response. quoted from

President Joe Biden speaks in the East Room of the White House, Thursday, April 15, 2021, in Washington
Biden denounces Russia for “interfering” in US elections, remains silent on Trump coup revelations
Apr. 17 - On Thursday, US President Joe Biden announced a “national emergency” and declared that Russia had “interfered in the [2020 US] election,” expelling ten Russian diplomats and announcing a new round of economic sanctions.
“If Russia continues to interfere with our democracy, I’m prepared to take further actions to respond,” Biden said. He added that US “elections are sacred” and “an expression of the will of the American people. And we cannot allow a foreign power to interfere in our democratic process with impunity.”
Biden’s statement came in response to a 15-page report published March 10 by the US National Intelligence Council that concluded that Russia “interfered” in the election by spreading “unsubstantiated or misleading claims about President Biden.”
We will not address the substance of the report of Russian “interference,” which as with all intelligence reports of this character is based on nothing. By the intelligence agencies’ own admission, in any case, Russia did not attempt to change the outcome of a single vote. Nor is it necessary to dwell again on the fact that the United States, now with Biden at its head, is the principal source of “interference,” “meddling” and much more in the “democratic process” of virtually every country on the planet.
The more essential point is the following: There was a real attempt not only to “interfere” with but to overthrow the “democratic process” in the United States, but it did not come from Vladimir Putin, but from Donald Trump. It was not the Kremlin, but a section of the American ruling class... more

President Joe Biden hosted Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga on Friday for his first in-person bilateral meeting since becoming president, with the two leaders outlining their strategic vision for the Indo-Pacific in the face of growing challenges from China and North Korea
Biden, Japan's PM Focus on China, North Korea in First Bilateral Meeting
Apr. 17 - “Japan and the United States are two strong democracies in the region, and we’re committed to advancing and defending our shared values, including human rights and the rule of law,” Biden said in prepared remarks at a joint press conference in the White House Rose Garden, The Hill reported.
“We’re going to work together to prove that democracies can still compete and win in the 21st century, we can deliver for our people in the face of a rapidly changing world,” he added.
Both leaders referenced the need to confront challenges in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.
Suga emphasized the importance of the trilateral relationship between the US, Japan and South Korea to manage North Korea, which has engaged in new missile launches in recent weeks and has not responded to outreach from the Biden administration.
Biden referenced his commitment to the “Quad”, which consists of the leaders of the US, Japan, India and Australia, to address vaccine distribution and other regional issues.
The two leaders also discussed the Summer Olympics, which are scheduled for later this year in Tokyo. Biden acknowledged the importance of the games to Japan, but neither leader weighed in on whether the Olympics should go forward amid the COVID pandemic. more
