In all honesty what you are proposing isn't very realistic. So they crash us for a day, back-ups that are logged go into effect and everything is back to normal in less than a week.
As of about 5 yrs ago the best, and most effective retaliation would be to cyber-attack there networks, and while they are down, and in a state of confusion, we use emp detonations to prevent them from coming back online with pretty much anything electronic. Would basically leave them dead in the water, end the invasion of Ukraine, and set them back long enough to setup a defense, and convince them if we wanted to we would end them.
That is if we had leadership with the nads to do it. The old days of bombs, men and firepower are honestly more suited for the countries that are not advanced enough to really be effected in a modern world.

OK, so, things are messed up for a week. During this week, there cannot be some significant economic loss?
See, current International Law speaks in terms of "armed attack" as being acts of war. The law may be out of date. If intentional acts of computer network attacks can cause significant economic loss on another, should International Law hold that this kind of "attack" is an act of war?
That's the purpose of the thread. What do regular people think? Should it be an act of war? I don't think that International Law has settled this question.
I'm wondering what the common sense of the people say about it.
PS I assure you that there are attorneys in DoD or/and the State Dept that are thinking about these kinds of questions. This question is not some kind of way out fantasy thinking -- it could easily be "real world" in the foreseeable future.
