If you want an example of an old bull look up this guy: Stanislav Petrov. A huge number of us owe our lives to his thinking it through.

The US spends over $700 bil a year in "national defense" and about $55 bil on homeland "security", yet a bunch of Russian hackers are able to get through just about every sensitive computer system in our government and a pandemic is ravaging the US like we are a hapless third world country with no infectious disease infrastructure.
Frankly, the US needs to surrender in the cyber wars. We should have a peace conference with all the big cyber war players and work out a treaty to end cyber attacks. Escalation will just mean that something really bad will happen. Cyber attacks to date have really just been about showing the other side that you can get inside their systems and not about actually causing damage to networks or using the access to cause real harm by shutting down power grids, etc. But if the US escalates, that is what will come next and real people will get hurt and maybe even die as a result. And that would just be idiotic. The US government completely failed at cyber defense. The Russians got in because we suck at cyber defense even though the US invented the internet and all the great tech companies are in the US. Shame on us. But lets get real and not turn this into another pretext for massive defense spending.
see above.
