What If STARTING World War Three Was The RIGHT Thing To Do?
For the moment, let’s put nomenclature aside. History will be the ultimate arbiter of whether what’s happening now is or isn’t “World War Three”. For argument’s sake, let’s say it isn’t “World War Three” – not yet. But World War Three could absolutely happen and, in theory, it would be a clear escalation beyond the…

Or, What If Putin Has Been Waging Cyber War Against Us The Whole Time And His Problem Is WE Finally Know It?
If ever a photo spoke volumes, it was the one taken as Donald Trump emerged from his sit-down with Vlad Putin in Oslo. The two men emerged from their meeting (no one on our side took notes) to speak to the press. They needn’t have said a word; their body language spoke every single truth…

Cyber War IS War And WE Have Been Under A Cyber War Attack For Five Years Now
It sucks to be the second person to discover that you’re in a fight. Better to be the first. Especially when the first has attacked the second unexpectedly. Ask the folks who lived at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on the morning of December 7, 1941. As far as they knew — as they slept in on…

Japan’s Pearl Harbor Surprise Attack Wants To Teach Us A Lesson About Right Now; Will We Listen?

The Japanese arrived at Pearl Harbor and started bombing it — killing Americans & doing grave harm to our navy. But the Japanese didn’t just suddenly appear at Pearl Harbor. They had to…

The Problem With “Doing Nothing”…
Got a problem? Doing nothing will not solve it. That’s a stone cold fact. That’s not to say you can’t get lucky — and time resolves what your inaction didn’t. But that wasn’t you solving your problem, that was you hiding from it until a solution presented itself. Not the same thing. One of the…

What Did YOU Do In The CYBER War, Daddy?
Anyone who thinks it takes bombs and bullets to win a war is an idiot doomed to lose every war he ever fights going forward. Please — let’s not that idiot. Call it asymetrical war, call it cyber war. Call it anything you like. Russia is waging it against us regardless of what we call…
