I agree that it's alarming to think of cyber-warfare escalating to a war, but I don't think it's unrealistic or uncalled-for. I'm concerned that a cyberattack could be misinterpreted (not really an attack, or originating from another body) but that's an education and sophistication problem, not an error in the legal premise.
- bobwaycott 14y agoI, too, do not think it is unrealistic or uncalled-for. My sense of 'alarming' is anchored a bit in a historical position--i.e., we've now reached the point in history where an action taken on a computer in a room in some corner of the world can be the trigger for formal war declarations, and is officially recognized as such. We thought blitzkrieg was a challenge about 75 years ago. This is a huge shift.
