Among all the stupid things Obama has done, this will rank among the stupidest. Let's see, where would I counter attack if I was the Russians?
The banks? Or just the ATMs?
The power grid?
Military comms? Supposedly they had an outage of their super secure network in September. A prelude?
The water supply?
The rail network?
If Putin really wants to play hardball he could attack all the MSN sites. No more studpid groping stories.
Exactly correct.
Question for anyone with at least half a brain:
Who relies more on the Internet and data communications to do essential business in the world, The USA or Russia?
Image if we lost our networking infrastructure in a hot cyber war? I’m not talking banking or financial data, but just the network everything travels over...
Where would Walmart point of sale registers connect to to restock the shelves? How about Krogers? Albertstons? Winn Dixie?
Check out a modern grocery store. No warehouse. Just a small area in the back with over stocked items ready to put on shelves when there’s room, but no longer a ginormous warehouse with crates of food... Because the USA uses just-in-time inventory everywhere. Trucks are dispatched by computer to restock when items are almost low or gone, rather than wait around to find room to unload them.
What about the sensors that tell a gas station that the buried fuel tank is getting low? Could the trucks even run to resupply? Many gas stations don’t even have that long stick to measure how much gas they have because it’s all computerized...
What if the hit the utility networks? No water, no sewage, no electricity? No natural gas?
IT would be a DISASTER. Food would RUN out in the big cities. I’m serious. Total shutdown roving bands of hungry Yutes...
This is insane.
