They say that, but the if the reports of state-sponsored cyber attacks on the US or US companies over the past 10+ years is any indication, the "war" that's mentioned in the "acts of war" statement isn't tanks rolling through Beijing, Tehran, or Moscow.
If a cyber attack leads to war, it seems to lead to cyber war like this article. Not physical war.
- monocasa 7y agoHe made it pretty clear that it was a real, dropping bombs, boots on the ground, cause for war. I think it's more that the US applies these rules unequally. You execute a cyber attack on us, we'll overthrow your government and laugh as the rabble beheads you in the streets. If we execute a cyber attack on you, what are you going to do? We have nukes. The framework he laid out is actually pretty interesting because it made it very clear that espionage is totally on the table, which is as far as the countries that do have nukes are willing to go here.

We've been attacked, the DNI named names, and there are no tanks rolling through Moscow, Tehran, or Beijing. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/29/china-russia-could-disrupt-us-infrastructure-with-cyber-attacks-odni.html https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/29/china-russia-could-disrupt-u...
- monocasa 7y agoThat doesn't say that we've been attacked by China or Russia, only that they have the ability to. The Iranian and North Korean "attacks" here are just laundered transfers on the swift network.
