American Exceptionalism

By John Cole June 1st, 2012
The most interesting thing about the Stuxnet story Mistermix discussed this morning is how long after a country openly admitted they had launched a cyberattack on a nuclear plant here in the United States would it be before we started bombing? And before the idiot apologists start chiming in about how I should go vote for Romney because he’d be worse or your usual shithouse lawyer nonsense, that is our official policy. You launch a cyberattack against us, we will respond however the f**k we want:
_____________________________________________________

A damaging attack on the United States that comes via the Internet could be punished with missiles and bombs, the Pentagon confirmed Tuesday.
A Defense Department strategy for cybersecurity, to be released in June, points to “the idea that attacks in cyber would be viewed the same way that attacks in a kinetic form are now,” said Pentagon spokesman Col. David Lapan.
Unidentified military officials who spoke on background to The Wall Street Journal for a story in Tuesday’s editions were even more explicit.
“If you shut down our power grid, maybe we will put a missile down one of your smokestacks,” one official told the paper.

So how many of you would find it acceptable for Iran to launch a missile at us in retaliation for our joint stuxnet cyberattack? They’d just be playing by our rules.

China has crawled far deeper in our cyberguts than we did in Iran.
I'd wager the damage they've done has a lot higher price tag too.

Last time I checked, we haven't lobbed any missiles into China.

If Iran becomes a G8 country, then we can discuss the issue as if they were our peer - or China's.

We have something better than Missiles to lob at China.

That Chinese official has a very long and unpleasant incarceration ahead of him.

Maybe that's why so many elevated Chinese suicide after being caught for misconduct.
