But what is more likely, multiple U.S. officials say, is a lower-level effort by hackers from Russia or elsewhere to peddle misinformation by manipulating Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms.\u201d This news-report included a video of Andrea Mitchell, headlined &#8220;Is Russia a third party in the 2016 race?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If the United States government, on or after Election Day, says that Russia had done something of this nature, then the U.S. \u2018response\u2019 to the alleged \u2018cyber-attack from Russia\u2019 would presumably be one or more of \u201cthe exact measures the CIA was considering,\u201d as NBC reported on October 14th, and World War III could then start with a cyber-war that could escalate to serious consequences, such as deactivating a power-grid in one or both of the countries, and, subsequently, a direct military invasion, of one by the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But how would the U.S. public ever be able to come to know whether that alleged Russian provocation <i>actually existed<\/i> and wasn\u2019t instead provoked intentionally by the U.S. government in order to provide a pretext for the U.S. to invade Russia?
