U.S. TO VIEW MAJOR CYBER ATTACKS AS ACTS OF WAR: 

What the... Are you people serious?

What the hack?!

Why not go to war over tea?

*The Boston Tea Party was a direct action by colonists in Boston, against the British government and the monopolistic East India Company that controlled all the tea coming into the colonies. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into the harbour.

The Boston Tea Party was a key event in the growth of the American Revolution.

So Israel's "cyber-attack" on Iran, was a "act of war". Funny how that's not mentioned...sorry, it actually was mentioned in the article.

The U.S. bombs countries and kills millions of people, when they DON'T attack us. Now:

"It said the Pentagon would likely decide whether to respond militarily to cyber attacks based on the notion of “equivalence” — whether the attack was comparable in damage to a conventional military strike."

The U.S. "notion of equivalence", is a nightmare fantasy.

Cool... so now someone can hack the power grid and deliberately leave digital 'evidence' pointing to someone or some group that they don't like and the US will attack them?! 

Scary.

Temper Temper you should not draw these type of conclusions. There has been no talk in this country about "bombing anyone" due to cyber attacks.And cyber attacks war and killing people by bombs are not the same you should not make them so.

You can actually assume this country will bomb any country for no good reason at all. "Cyber attacks" is just another cover-story for senseless U.S. attacks on nations around the world.

well you all are in the right group Chess Nuts. But I suggest Conspircy Theorist group.

You should be in Head in the Sand group.

I am.

Don't even try to argue; their propaganda is stronger than yours.

And who will protect us from obesity?

It does not mean none has happened...

These sorts of threads are what make unemployed insomnia all worth it. Thanks folks.
