U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Thursday described Russian interference in U.S. elections as "warfare."

U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia used cyber-enabled means in an attempt to help President Donald Trump win the White House, an allegation the Kremlin has denied.

"We have to be so hard on this and we have to hold them accountable," Haley said during a panel discussion with former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Condoleezza Rice held by the George W. Bush Institute in New York on Thursday.

"When a country can come interfere in another country's elections that is warfare. It really is, because you're making sure that the democracy shifts from what the people want," she said. "This is their new weapon of choice and we have to get in front of it."

LOL. Haley is going rogue again. While Haley is once again posturing for a post-Trump political career while starting a whisper campaign that she is a favorite to replace Tillerson, the truth is that Trump would never appoint her as Secretary of State, because she actually is a showboat who would happily dish on Trump the moment he decides to fire her.

6. Internet security experts have been calling it warfare for years.

Just as with nukes, no one wants a cyber war, but it can happen anytime. Again like nukes, it's a matter of some fool firing the first big shot and there's lots of loaded guns.

So, what the hell does Haley propose there is be done that's extraordinary to existing protections?

Which is: none at all
