    It’s high time America retaliates in the cyber realm. Disable municipal systems one at a time until the blyats get the message.

      America has retaliated… sort of. Not by direct cyber attack, but with sanctions, which have made business impossible for companies like HP and Microsoft.

      If your organization gets attacked you may be able to recover from backups. If your organization’s primary service provider dumps you, now you have to completely rebuild everything.

      To put it another way, Russia abused computer infrastructure to attack countries that it’s not at war with… so America just took away the infrastructure.

        That’s cool n shit but I want to see America assert as much overt and covert pressure as possible, short of a shooting war. It’s time to show the blyats our collective, Western might.

          Good strategy comes from focusing on achieving your objectives, not showing force for its own sake. Showing your full capabilities should only happen after you’re certain your opponent has expended theirs.
