What if that other country has nuclear weapons? Would WWIII start with cyber attacks first?
- raverbashing 6y agoWell, you might ask that of the attacking country yourself But apparently they know that people are hesitant in retaliating As I have said before, paying ransoms and not retaliating is a good way to keep being attacked and asked for even more ransoms
- JumpCrisscross 6y ago> What if that other country has nuclear weapons? This is a solved problem. Nuclear powers routinely skirmish, usually through proxies. Other non-violent but serious responses include closing consulates, enacting sanctions and increasing military deployments close to the enemy’s border.
- jariel 6y agoIt's not a 'solved problem'. If the Iranians were behind a cyberattack on hospitals, they may or may not bet a bombing run. But if the Russians were behind it, there's not telling what would happen. Probably sanctions and maybe even specific sanctions against specific individuals.
