The Jaguar hack cost the UK $2.5Bn and dropped production to levels you'd normally only see during open warfare. Recovery took many months, and the financial damage persists today.

We still operate with a primitive homunculi where a gunshot is considered aggressive, but sabotaging infrastructure that can kill hundreds from cold is being waved at.



The difference is the bureaucratic "doubt" about who did what.

Which, with the current zeit geist, should really be minimized to almost zero


Blame everything on X group i don’t like is a bold move


We have two clear videos of federal USA employees executing citizens.

What stopa the execution of legal system? The claim that we cant know 100% of the facts.

In reality, theres little to dispute with the facts. Theres simply groups of true believers and those who think we need more clarity.

Those two forces alloq the continuation of violations


I thought you were talking about Russian hacking


I am. Why arn't we doing more against "Russian" hacking, because:

1. They outsource it

2. It rarely has clear red flags, eg "Putin's IP showed up on our PC before the virus"

So, I'm generalizing the argument about why direct action rarely occurs: It's because even if theres a great deal of evidence, the fuzzy logic required to say "this is statistically true" is rarely used.


But hey, at least they saved a few million a year in developer salaries by offshoring
