#1 My concerns are if our nuclear arsenals is disabled during a nuclear attack on the US and/or the satellite GPS system is disabled while thousands of driverless Tesla's are operating on the highways.

#3 Biden wants to take management of the GPS System away from Trump's new Space Force and give it to a small company that just came out of bankruptcy called Ligado.

This is the Space Force's response:

#4 ebbomoger/boskone:
The military's opinion is irrelevent. What matters is that Hunter and 'the big guy' are secret shareholders in Ligado.

#6 Biden's response yesterday when asked what his response will be to this new cyberattack, "We are looking in to it". Translation, "I have no idea".

#7 FWIW, since 2009 the US has had a Joint Cyber Command with Uniformed Officers and civilians working initially as part of the NSA and since 2018 more independently (part of the Trump augment).

They take direction from the Sec of Def and the Joint Chiefs.

I am not sure how much freedom of operation they have. It would be nice if they were allowed to, for example, pay one Russian crime gang to wipe out another Russian crime gang (e.g., the one attacking JBS) but I have no idea what they are allowed to do and what their ROE is set up.

#8 Not dry runs, it seems to me — an industry both government (China, North Korea) and private (Russia, Romania, among others). Bleeding the West as well as indulging pique (North Korea against Sony’s film about Lil Kim some years ago) and making a good deal of money for very little effort.

#9 Agree with tw - these are first-team reps at worst but given the number of recent attempts and their apparent success levels, they're playing for real.
