Tim Haugh, the retired general and ousted former head of both the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command, warns that China has hacked into U.S. computer networks to an astonishing degree, targeting not just the U.S. military and industries, but also every American.
The USA lets themselves get hacked by putting random junk into important infrastructure without thinking.
China does not want to own nor invade our chaotic political and social hellhole, nor do they want to destroy us.
They want us knocked down a few pegs so that they have economic advantages and so that the US doesn’t have as much international leverage.
That’s the extent of how super-powers view each other in a massively interconnected world. There is probably only a fraction of the population who really understand how incredibly huge and complicated our supply chains are, and how fragile it is, and what the consequences are of disrupting this beating pulse that keeps the world fed.
The danger is from rogue nations who are desperately trying to cling to or achieve “super power” status so they have that leverage themselves or maintain it even as it’s slipping away. Such as Russia right now, a nation so mismanaged that they genuinely saw gambling with a forever war as their best alternative for growth. The USA is going to be like that in about a generation or two as we continue to let oligarchy gut us.
And the US is actively shooting themselves in the foot by continuing to fire competent “woke” people and replacing them with the closest Nepo doofus.
Corruption does that, yeah.
Idiots who voted for this should have been reminded by corporate news but ‘somehow’ that never happens
This was Trumps master plan all along. You can’t hack something, if there’s nothing to be hacked. Genius!
