Am I alone in thinking that in case of a war between advanced countries every single one will come to a halt because of no power, no gas, no water no anything? No bombs required.
Contingency plan: go back to the technology of 50+ years ago. Remember the old unwired unhackable Battlestar Galactica vs the newer ships hacked by Cylons.
