if so, we committed an act of war against iran a few years ago.

Indeed, but few here will acknowledge that the U.S. is simply getting a small dose of its own medicine. It's hard for me to feign outrage when we ourselves have been guilty of far worse cyber attacks.

What significant economic damage did US cyber-attacks cause to Iran or any other nation?

PS

I'm personally not outraged at North Korea's cyber-attacks on Sony. I have no emotional response to it at all. I'm not surprised. I am not angry.

And yeah, hack them back? They don't have the internet.




The Japs just got pantsed by the Koreans, and I think it's a scream.

Setting back their nuclear program by years cost Iran billions of dollars.

A cyber attack on a large scale would be much more destructive than sinking some battleships at Pearl Harbor so I'm gonna say yes.

We need to be proportional. I think we should do something that will slow down the development of the internet in North Korea.

Oh wait a minute....

If it's not then we should be making sure they never see the internet again and crush every computer they have connected to it. Openly.

I know we've probably done that years ago but shame them with it. Replace everything on every hard drive in NK with copies of The Interview and Team America.

What if Congress officially declared war, but Obama wouldn't fight it?

If it is against our national infrastructure.. e.g. Power Grid, Water Treatment, Pentagon... Then yes, it is an act of war.

If a pussy arse country like North Korean attacks your cyber system and somehow manages to cripple your economy etc. You go build yourself some nuclear weapons and you repeat Nagasaki and Hiroshima. This is also what my response would have been to their threats earlier in the week.

I mean seriously that donkey eared motherfricker has turned this country into a big pussy and it's getting worse by the day.

Yes, good point.

It's a legitimate issue. If the USA did that, then, yes, it's a question of whether that is an act of war.

That scenario is easy to imagine, given the nature of one Barack Hussein Obama.

Yeah! Bring down their entire digital network! That'll cripple their economy. They'll go to use their iPods and be all like...



Oh, wait.

Yes, and we should return the favor. Times 1000 or more. Pimp hand needs to be strong in these times.
