Collateral Damage From Cyber Warfare?

theodp writes "If you're thinking about applying for that open US cyber warfare czar position, Robert X. Cringely points out that you will have to effectively function as a world cyber warfare czar, a fact that neither Republican nor Democratic Administrations have yet been willing to embrace, at least in public. The international nature of today's outsourced-and-offshored IT business has big implications for US security. Try to do a security audit of your company's technical resources in Argentina or Bangladesh, suggests Bob, and see what nightmare is unveiled. Toss some random Code Gods into the mix, says Cringely, and it's really too tough to predict who might win in a game of US vs. Albania."

moron, get an education

[circletimessquare]

study history

nationalist uprisings throughout history are largely middle class in nature, and almost automatically are enemies of the contemporary aristocratic elite of the time

here's an example:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Archduke_Franz_Ferdinand_of_Austria

all original nationalistic movements HAD to make enemies of the rich of their time. the rich were entrenched in the political structures of the time, and therefore the rich were made rich by political arrangements that depended upon the suppression of nationalistic movements in order to continue to exist

i am not saying that nationalism is a good force. i dislike it like you

i am not saying that the rich are a good force. i dislike the rich like you

however, unlike you, i understand the concepts better. therefore, i am better at being able to actually fight and defeat nationalism and the entrenched upper class. would you like to defeat nationalism? would you like to defeat the upper class? then please, fucking educate yourself and stop spouting ignorance

here, i'll get the ball rolling for you:
