What happens if Russia doesn't know what would trigger US to use this power?
"American strategy has shifted more toward offense…with the placement of potentially crippling malware inside the Russian system at a depth and with an aggressiveness that had never been tried before."

Excellent, in-depth report by @SangerNYT @nicoleperlroth
Caveat: Words "attack" (in headline), "shifted more toward offense," "offensive" are unfortunate. Placement of malware to deter Russian actions is an "attack," and not defensive operation?

.@SangerNYT @nicoleperlroth raise key point: if US strategy "enshrines power grids as a legitimate target."
Should at least consider a limit: in int'l practice, sometimes it's legal/legitimate to take "action X" only in response to other state having taken X action against you.
