Good morning Cyber Fans –

Remember Red Dragon’s rules of cyber SA and newsworthy items – with writer deadlines both Wednesday, yesterday and the weekends are when you are likely to discover & learn about the nascent and unusual from cyber land…

In today’s edition of CYBER SA we have a decent batch of cyber related stories out of the People’s Republic of China…(中國人民共和國), news of Russia’s Cyber Initiatives; Iranian Oil going to China thanks to Hillary; proof that the United Kingdom has been definitely colonized by the Chinese under the ROE for Operation Middle Kingdom; HUAWEI’s endeavors in both Poland and Indonesia..yes and the latest silliness from our own shores…

Enjoy my friends – it is only Thursday!
