Cyber attack: US will attack country or person responsible for it

[illuzioN]

US only attacks countries that can't even feebly fight back; if a country starts fighting back and maybe wins a few victories their "soldiers" start crying for peace and running away to Canada.

you fool... same thing can be said about China.... all talk and no game.

We are not scard of anybody I assure you

Americans are borrowing heavily to fight the wars they already in there economy is on life support they still don't get it and continue to threaten wars.

Life support?


Pakistan is still in the middle ages... you guys are in Life support not us

US Gov makes close to 4 trillion in income tax alone per year..... we just need to budget our money

when they attack u in cyber space,u attack them by ur cyber capabilities..why use military n waste resources???

Yes.
There are levels of provocations. Cyber attack does not qualify for that unless...one hacks the enemies missiles control system to target the enemy!

Israel and/or America supposedly introduced a virus inside the Iranian nuclear plants' computer system. That slowed the Iranians some. Iranians grumbled. Embarrassed. But moved on. But had it been a real bomb dropped then...

Ok so its frustration..US WILL ATTACK COUNTRY OR PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR CYBER ATTACK

same there Cuba just across the sea your infamous Guantanamo even borders it, you can do nothing about it? and Venezuela is your pain of a$$. Funny you are not likening China vs Taiwan and Viatnam, perfect mirror. Superpowers do have their sensitive off-limits, don't they?

Miami-Dade police dept can take Cuba on a weekend. Strategically and tactically speaking, as long as Cuba remain nothing more than an annoying fly, we will let Cuba live. The American sanction on Cuba is misguided and I fully support US-Cuba trade. Canadian, South American, and European economic trade partnerships with Cuba going on today is simply not enough to bring down the Castro thugocracy. Americans flooding Cuba with tourists and money will make Cuba a US protectorate -- like Puerto Rico -- toot-sweet.

Incorrect...It truly does. Here is why...

What is a country's currency? Technically speaking, a dollar/deutschmark/pound/yuan/yen/whatever bill is nothing but paper and colored liquid. Its worth is practically nil. But then why do countries go to great length to protect the integrity, value, and physical sanctity of their currency, in paper or in metal? Because that object physically represent a tiny part of their country's potential. A potentiality that comprises the country's physically natural resources, human capital, current and future, economic condition, military might, and governmental authority over the country. That piece of paper and metal thing is a tiny physical representative of a virtual reality called the 'United States of America' or 'Great Britain' or 'Japan' or "People's Republic of China" or 'Italy' and so on...and on...

So then what happens if someone falsify, in other words, create a UNAUTHORIZED physical representative of that virtual reality? The victim country would mobilize forces to prosecute the offender. If said offender is a non-state agent who is acting on his own behalf, the victim country has an appropriate response agency to mete out punishments commensurate to the offender's stature. But what if the offender is another country? An ordinary criminal who falsify a piece of currency or coinage does not wish ruination of the victim country. He does not have the resources to do such catastrophic damages. He is capable of making enough false 'documents', so to speak, to enrich himself in petty ways.

On the other hand, when countries go to war against each other, ruination and even erasure of a country is very much the goal of every country that engages in a war. So if the offender of currency forgery is another country, the victim country can only assume that the goal of such an assault on the virtual reality of itself is nothing else but ruination and eventual erasure of said country from existence. The response WILL BE military, read physical, in nature. The victim country will try its very best to first prevent further damages to its reputation, as in forged currency, then it will exact vengeance against the offending country by punishing the country's physical being, such as cities, or producers of natural resources, and even the human capital.

Another example is this thing called 'airspace'.

What is that all about? Is this something new? Was 'airspace' nonexistent back in our ancestors' days? But since we know that 'airspace' did exist prior to aviation, which is not even one hundred years old, we also know that countries existed and got along just fine without this thing called 'territorial airspace' or 'sovereign airspace'.

The reason why 'airspace' became important is because we finally managed to exploit it for the long term and to destructiveness if we want to. In our ancestors' days, we live in a two-dimensional world. Only birds live in a three-dimensional world and even then, they can only live in the third dimension briefly and mindlessly. Not us humans. Although we cannot live in that third dimension, we exploited it for ourselves much more than thoughtless animals can ever do. We travel through it and finally we learned to kill each other from it. And once we know how to bring ruination and possibly erasure from existence of a country from that third dimension, the non-physical reality called 'territorial airspace' became necessary to defend and to respect if we are going to have peace among countries.

Virtual possessions and territories have been with us all this time and vigorously defended when they are threatened and violated. Cyberspace is no different.

Sure, bomb a whole country because a couple of kids were bored and decided to slow down your website. There is a psychological term for when someone acts like this-- Power Intoxication. Seriously mighty USA, just mellow out and take it easy. We promise we will not tell your wives what you watch on your computers.

And we won't tell your goats what you watch on yours.

Here comes mr. gi gambit with his 'we will let Cuba live', 'thugocracy'! Why don't you just declare youselves gods as you have declared youselves the champions of 'democracy and human rights'? As for your 'thugocracy', what would you call Bahrein, a beacon of democracy?

Once I heard that the american santa was very fond of his reindeer.

Same as saying China cannot touch Taiwan despite yapping about the island for decades. Or that China cannot handle a bunch of monks and India who harbors the monks' leader.


Spoken by a country that has 1/10th the combat experience of the American military and the most recent scuffle against a smaller country filled with 'inferior' Asians -- Viet Nam -- China got spanked. Good thing the PLA does not publish information about PTSD among its soldiers. All those only child sons spoiled by their parents went crying and running back to their families.

...do you even know the age-span of us so-called only-child sons...my father fought in that vietnam war for christ's sake...

and yes, the almighty USofA sent vietnam back to stoneage...wait...wut??

Is that all there is whenever a business got its server broken into? If so, then you should have no problems with US being in Iraq and Afghanistan. After all, we are only playing tourists there.

 

[ephone]

Is that a joke?

About those cyber-attacks, I bet U.S. initiated the most attacks against other countries since it itself is the most advanced country in such technology.

US needs to get a grip on these state-backed cyber terrorists. What makes these people think they can do what they want without cocnequences? There's no difference between these people and terrorists trained by Pakistan.
