I don't understand your logic in that statement Bruce....
As I see it, the first, and perhaps the only act of aggression a country needs to do is disable the internet of it's victim.
Can you imagine how that country could possibly respond without a national grid, water supply, a transport system, GPS and the NHS if it happened to us.
There have been many cyber attacks already, and if it were not for GCHQ I believe there would have been more and even worse.
Humans are not the only ones who can suffer from a virus Bruce, how long do think it will take for someone to outwit the establishment?
We all laughed at Donald Trump when he assembled a space army capable of defending America from space. He has the power to knock out satellites, and in order to protect themselves, America will not be the only ones to adopt this technology. Undersea cables are an easy target, why do you think naval ships and subs patrol areas. They have probably mapped out the routes of all of these cables and can destroy them at a moments notice.
I believe the internet will be the first thing that goes in the event of war, so I hope the people in charge have figured out alternative means of running their countries.
