Originally posted by NewGuy01I'm relatively confident in the U.S.'s cyber security, so I don't worry about it too much tbh. Plus the fact nuclear warfare would likely destroy all of earth / wipe out the human race, and there's a plausible risk for it given Russia's bullshit
Atm for first-world countries, the potential of cyber warfare is more frightening than nukes imo.
China would slaughter us in a cyber war; based on predictions it would be an absolute disaster for us if it ever came to that. Nukes aren't as scary because everyone has nukes; the first person who fires one is going to get some back.
But what if our computer systems shut down and we can't aim our nukes?
Originally posted by NewGuy01Would they really? But the scary thing is is that Russia is disregarding previous nuclear treaties made with NATO by advancing and making more nuclear weapons / submarines to keep a nuclear edge. Their aggressive foreign policy against Ukraine and Georgia could foreshadow a future invasion in the Baltics, and that significantly raises the chances of a nuclear war, because if NATO counterattacked I really doubt Russia would be shy using *at least* tactical nukes.
