The ideal would be if they should ever reach for the nuclear football and start launch procedures, gremlins introduced by the NSA get in the way and stall them for days. Thereby giving us the opportunity to neutralize their nukes either by conventional means or our nukes. That’s not an advantage you give away for bragging rights.

If both sides start to ratchet this up, how long before it’s the Air Traffic Control system that goes haywire and few jets crash into each other...

Or rolling blackouts begin...

Or Wall Street becomes unstable...

Or Financial/ATM networks go down, especially nerve racking given most people don’t carry cash anymore...
