Also consider that if they hacked the controls they'd be foolish to use the capability in peace time. That ace would be kept up the sleeve.

- MichaelApproved 15y agoPeace? America hasn't been in peace for over a decade. If you mean peace, specifically with Iran, I think that's a stretch. America is actively trying to take down Iran's government, flying spy planes in its air space and sending in viruses that damage its equipment. Meanwhile, Iran is funding terrorist organizations who target the West and trying to build a nuclear bomb. This is not peace.
- michaelcampbell 15y agoIt could be he meant "peace" as in, "not in a declared state of war". With which Iran, the US is not, as far as I am aware.
- Cieplak 15y agoWow, you are right. I just realized that we are in a cold war. I'd like to read an analysis that draws parallels from the opposing ideologies in the current situation to the opposing ideologies of the Cold War. In lisp it would look like: (compare-contrast (conflict '(ideology US) '(ideology USSR)) (conflict '(ideology US) '(ideology Iran)))
- plugger 15y agoSo the USA is responsible for deploying Stuxnet? Do you have any actual evidence for this?
- salimmadjd 15y agoWhy is it foolish? Perhaps their goal is prevent a conflict with US. The calculus being that, once there is a conflict they will take undue damage. So better prevent any conflict by sending a message that we are not defenseless. Just think about it, there is so much news about this now, that any attack from US will face some internal opposition. For all we know the plane was downed by the administration, to reduce the pressure from GOP's posturing of attack on Iran.
