where did you get this understanding?

MSNBC had a person on who purported to be someone knowledgeable. I also read the Washington Post. The act of war part was my idea. I realize I may not have the correct understanding yet, but based on the Solar Winds hack and the Mueller report, it seems to me they are attacking us. Isn't an attack an act of war?

  Ask anyone who babysits boxes in the US that are critical - they've been at war for a while. But... Its not like it affects daily life in any meaningful, permanent way. Didnt we read about this pipeline on HN, for being so painfully insecure relative to its value? And painfully outdated? I expect if/when the release drops, we're gonna see some niche/strange software archaeology, and some windows-shit layered on top. But mostly? I remember reading on HN about how much this 1950s-era pipeline leaks like nobody would believe. Perhaps its time we overhaul the rotting infrastructure under our feet. Maybe even try to make these massively centralized pipelines irrelevant. Theyre a weakness. Then again, Im not fond of the idea of Lithium-Wars replacing the Oil-Wars.
