We need to prepare to not be destroyed on the cyber front brings us closer to war? Hard disagree. In a world with sharks, you don't make having to battle a shark more likely by looking less like prey. Not preparing brings us closer to someone (Russia, China, Iran, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, whoever loses the next presidential election) being able to blackmail society with war-like consequences if we don't do what they want. Worse, more than one adversary could have that level of blackmail on us at once. That's the kind of situation that free peoples fight wars to get out of. And the ones who won't, aren't free for long. If you consider "not fighting wars" to be more important than "being free", there is nothing more for me to say. And if you think that being free will endure without fighting wars, I think you are hopelessly naive.
