I haven't looked terribly closely but the cyber attacks don't seem to match
up with what I would consider military objectives... there are plenty of
nationalists that come crawling out of the woodwork during events like
this.  If the attacks are targetted more at military objectives then I'd say
you're starting to see real information warfare.  While I'm sure Russia
knows it goes on and are more than content to allow the harassment, that's
not the same as sponsorship.
