She is asking about cyber-warfare and is it the way wars will be fought in the 21st century?
NY TIMES OP-ED- Calling On a Few Good Men
Thomas L. Friedman MARCH 22, 2017
Memo To: Secretary of Defense James Mattis, National Security Adviser H. R. McMaster, Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly, C.I.A. Director Mike Pompeo and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson
Dear Sirs, I am writing you today as the five adults with the most integrity in the Trump administration. Mattis, McMaster and Kelly, you all served our nation as generals in battle. Pompeo, you graduated first in your class at West Point and served as a cavalry officer. Tillerson, you ran one of Americas largest companies.
I am writing you directly because I believe you are the last few good men who can stand up and reverse the moral rot that has infected the Trump administration from the top.
The last time our country faced such a cancer on the presidency, the Republican Partys leadership stood up and put country before party to get to the truth. But todays G.O.P. is a pale imitation of that party. With a few exceptions, it has declared moral bankruptcy and abdicated its responsibility to draw any red lines for President Trump.
To begin, I ask those of you who honored our country as military officers how you would have reacted if your commanding officer had charged his predecessor with a high crime that violated his constitutional oath and then a few weeks later this charge was exposed as false by the top military judge advocate?
And Secretary Tillerson, how would your former corporate board have reacted if a top executive at Exxon Mobil had accused a predecessor of a major act of malfeasance and the F.B.I. then told the board the claims were false?

Given the news about Sessions saying he didn't discuss the campaign with the Russians I thought this was relevant.

This is from a few years ago but thought it was relevant given recent events.

MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)Russian President Vladimir Putin is starting to get concerned that the puppets he installed in the executive branch of the U.S. government might not be up to the task at hand, sources confirmed on Tuesday.
According to the sources, the flameout of the national-security adviser Michael Flynn was only the most recent event that has caused Putin to wonder if the figureheads he propelled into office are just too dim-witted to serve the goals of the Russian Federation.
When you choose a puppet, youre looking for a sweet spot, one source close to Putin said. You want to choose someone whos dumb enough to be manipulated, but not so dumb that he cant find the light switches.
Increasingly, it looks like we missed that sweet spot, the source said.
