| 0:00.0 | This is John Batchel. The Financial Times carries a report of a secret document dating 2013, 2014, 10 years past, |
| 0:10.1 | where Russia considered attacks on nuclear power plants in South Korea and Japan, one in particular |
| 0:16.6 | in Japan that's a nuclear waste storage site, leading to catastrophe for both countries. |
| 0:23.8 | In conversation with Henry Sikolsky of the Non-Proliferation Policy Education Center, |
| 0:29.7 | Henry puts this report together with other threats to electricity, to the grid, to energy, |
| 0:36.2 | to infrastructure, such as we're seeing in Ukraine, |
| 0:39.7 | and identifies it correctly as part of hybrid warfare, information war, the threat is the weapon. |
| 0:48.0 | Here's Henry Sikolsky on gray aggression by our colleagues and enemies. |
| 0:56.5 | And what are we doing about it? Question mark. |
| 1:00.1 | Much more of this tonight. |
| 1:01.7 | Washington Post said we've got to start responding to hybrid war on the West and all these |
| 1:07.6 | incidences. |
| 1:08.8 | Well, the point here is that we're now seeing that gray warfare is a very active measure |
| 1:15.5 | that we've got to worry about, and we may have to respond to. |
| 1:20.6 | I think in talking to some people in the Trump camp that hope to get in soon to do work. |
| 1:29.8 | They are very interested, for example, in responding to cyber attacks on our electrical |
| 1:36.9 | supply system, typhoon voltage by the Chinese, by doing the same to China. |
| 1:43.2 | You get a picture here that this information war is effective |
| 1:48.4 | because it's plausible that the Russians might do it, |
| 1:54.0 | and it's plausible we may have to respond more firmly |
| 1:57.1 | than we have in the past to things like this. |
