    Not going to dignify that with a response. Even Johnny Lawrence drew the line at Iron Eagle II.

    For those of us unschooled in neo-Kantian philosophy, perhaps you could tell us why?

    You can see the impact craters, so you can tell something. The professional analyst can tell if the craters are in the right place (I myself cannot). To your point, what you can’t tell is what happened on the inside. Atmospheric analysis can give you a little, but the main thing is going to be human and signal intelligence coming from inside Iran, what the Iranians are assessing the damage to be. And my guess is that’s going to take them some time to sort out for themselves.

    Ah, but was he not a youthful 58 back when Wargames hit theaters in the 1980s? He had plenty of notice the cyber domain was coming.

    It will be enlightening to see if Trump turns to Congress. His pattern from immigration to tariffs is to act unilaterally and run to his SC.

    It is almost like there has been an entity trying to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon for 30+ years. Like killing their scientists, stealing the history of the program, using cyber to destroy infrastructure, etc.

    Absolutely true. Our 30 year old tech is better than anything the Russians or Iranians produce today.

    perhaps all the pilots on this mission were men. But the comment is to be expected from the NYT. They got to find something wrong with this success since it was ordered by Trump.

    It was a desire, not a prediction.

    To simplify the process, Iran will just sink their own ships in the strait to block ir.

    I think De Borchgrave was the first person I saw writing articles on cyber terrorism.
    Weak.
