Not saying it never will, but I don't think this is it.

(27,316 posts)but I'm truly not panicked over today's events. "We're dead" is hyperbole, IMO.

There has been an ongoing cyber war since about 2014. With all sorts of flare ups now and then. Now you will see a very meaningful coordinated approach.
And since empty husk and the orange asshole leaked a shit list of info the them and since they gutted various cyber based programs and protections, expect hacks.
Iran, Russia NK and china are very adept at at this kind of tactic

(1,688 posts)I would think the main goal of the regime is to simply survive. The Iranian people may decide to take matters into their own hands, its been bubbling for quite a while now.
The actual problems are the erosion of legal authorities surrounding use of force, nuclear material in the wild, and just a continuous drag on US resources because this wont solve anything.

(1,717 posts)Irans neighbors want them neutered. Nobody wants a rogue nation to have nuclear weapons. The issue is that the US had to step in to do it. Israel should have landed their own troops to take care of this. We need out now. No nation building.
