There's a burglar in the house...

The kids haven't eaten since early this morning.

The car just had a flat tire.

You have an appointment with your dentist this afternoon.

This is an analogy of the Russian cyber attack story. Why does everyone keep talking about Russia when there are so many other things to talk about?
