But when they do this kind of thing to the USA its bad, but its ok when we do it to them right?
From article:
"Power grids have been a low-intensity battleground for years.
Since at least 2012, current and former officials say, the United States has put reconnaissance probes into the control systems of the Russian electric grid.
But now the American strategy has shifted more toward offense, officials say, with the placement of potentially crippling malware inside the Russian system at a depth and with an aggressiveness that had never been tried before. It is intended partly as a warning, and partly to be poised to conduct cyberstrikes if a major conflict broke out between Washington and Moscow."
Think about what our government is doing here. We consistently start fights and battles with every country, spy on everyone, go to war without consequence, etc.
"But now the American strategy has shifted more toward offense"
Great. Instead of solving the problem we continue to be bull-headed and use our might = right.
I get it, Russia probably will to and so do other countries. I am not saying we should die on a principled hill of not using our armed forces or hacking when it is also done to us.
I am saying that is stupid and pointless. Human ego and power is what causes these problems. If the world was more decentralized this wouldn't be a problem. Two huge countries with lots of soldiers and tech constantly ramping up attacks on eachother through new tech.
Where and when does this lead?? The end goal? Each step the USA or another country takes towards being aggressive is another step in the direction of war. War is what happens when people are not able to be adults and reason things out. FORCE is what happens and DEATH.
I don't want to be in a war with another nuclear power, do you?
