Program hostile AI with the proper algorithms and a foreign enemy could shut down the US in less than 15 minutes and even direct it to self destruct without firing a shot.
I have no information to support my speculation, but the first thing that came to mind was that someone was laying the groundwork to blame Russia when the inevitable grid collapses occur caused by the bad decisions being made by the Biden administration and many states.
Russia, Russia, Russia...
I’m much more worried about US FedGov run Malware being used to bring down the US power grid.

This Event 201 all over again.
They are telling us what they are going to do to us and who they are going to blame.
We do ourselves NO FAVOR by belittling Russia. It may be corrupt and all that but it is filled with brillant and malevolent scientists and technicians who can do us and the world in general, much harm.
But...the CIA learned how to make it look like their hacks come from Russia. And, the globalists just handed out satellite phones...Biden’s regime is losing control and there are now hints of blackouts etc.
I won’t believe a damn thing this government tells me.
Yep. AI armed domestic lunatic radicals can certainly do such a thing. Slashing paint on art will seem quaint.
Russsia is to blame for it all! Trump! Hillary losing etc... Just wait till Russia really is to blame?
This answers the question: “With America lost, who will save us from the scoundrels in charge?”
Throwing modern America back to the 19th Century in an instant would certainly throw the tyrants a catastrophe they could not handle.
If it could, it already would have.
From my knowledge of US and foreign energy infrastructure...
Operational networks, those that actually are connected to the PLC’s and the like that run instruments and controls, are never connected to public networks and are unavailable to be publicly hacked.
They aŕe also “airgapped” from the corporate/business networks that run general communications, accounting, public websites, etc.
There are also a host of internal controls that prevent known ways of jumping “airgaps” such as USB’s (as was done in the Stuxnet case).
It’s not so easy to get such code to its target.
Handing out satellite phones to members of congress won’t save the elites from the anarchy triggered by America having no electricity.
Those who can’t respond quickly to living as Americans did in the 19th Century will not survive more than a month or two.
Americans would experience a nationwide, deadly panic of Old Testament proportions leading to widespread violence and death.
If this happened in winter, millions in the northern states would freeze to death.
There would be no cavalry riding to the rescue.
Fortunately, personal firearms and ammunition are analog and not digital.
“Who will bring down America’s power grid first? Joe Biden or Vladimir Putin?”
China. If they can get past the security, which is not easy.
I have been in numerous security briefings over the years. They are by far the most active state supported aggressor in hacking attempts vs US infrastructure.
