The United States of America. I love this country. Blindly. So when I read that China has taken steps to launch a “cyber war” against us, it greatly upsets me. A senior general in the U.S. military, the best military in history, recently said that while numerous countries try to hack the military’s network infrastructure, China goes above and beyond the established decorum. So the U.S. is setting up sort of “cyber command,” a place where officials can monitor the country’s vital electronic communication infrastructure. The Pentagon is worried that Beijing will use the Internet to launch an electronic war against us, like Estonia accused Russia of doing a few weeks ago.
The moral of the story is that Pentagon doesn’t trust China to play nice over the Internet and is doing its best to prevent it from gaining any sort of technological upper hand.

China is our greatest enemy. It amazes me that Americans are stupid enough to sell our future (in the form of jobs and resources) to a nation that actively seeks our demise. We are raising their standard of living while they lower ours. If Americans weren’t so selfish in consumer habits (always buying the cheapest products) our manufacturing jobs wouldn’t have gone overseas.
We deserve to go down the crapper.
Hopefully the sparring will be kept to the governments. If it spreads to being against companies things could become extremely costly. The ability of small companies to resist a cyber attack by a foreign country is nill. Will the U.S. government somehow establish a cyber-frontline to hold off the forces from our economic infrastructure?
