I'm happy to take the blame for the real problem. Exactly what am I taking
the blame for?

SNIP-


We're off-topic, but I'd say that cyberterrorismis far less expensive to
create than invasion or nuclear weapons.

And they are much easier to stop. Just turn off the routers such that China
is its own sealed-in infrastructure. But if its China's money you are after
then you will have to build something akin to a "demarcation gateway"
between China and the rest of the world and then who cares what is done
inside China. Or you will ultimately be held liable for your custiomer's
attacks against the rest of the world...

You operators still dont seem to get that YOU are the real problem here.

I put nothing past them, of course theyre not alone, as we all must
assume
by now.
Theyve threatened to nuke LA if we interfere with their plans to take
Tiawan by force, and smile and say, kill 300 million of us, do us a
favor.
Kinda hard to deal with an enemy like that.

cyberterrorism?
