WW3: Lone wolves; Cyber attacks; Domestic chaos

[bucs90]

I think over the next 10-20-30 years the next World War will be one full of cyber attacks, lone wolf attacks, domestic chaos. It wont be huge armies of nations squaring off in open terrain with tanks. No huge naval battles. No massive beach landings. I think society has moved past that.

Cyber attacks. Lone wolves. Many state sponsored but not in a uniform.

The Iranian Army wont face the French Army.

But the Iranian funded terrorists will square off with the French police.

US Marines probably never storm Pyongyang. But we'll trade cyber attacks to destabilize each others infrastructure. Trying to destroy from the inside out.

In WW2 we needed tanks and ships and bombs and brave soldiers.

For WW3 ...we need better computers and tech geeks and great law enforcement personnel and a citizen population that understands this threat.

No one can defeat the West in a uniformed traditional war. They'll try to defeat our infrastructure and police instead and try to destabilize us from within.

Obama goin' after Iran for cyber attacks...

U.S. to charge Iran in cyber attacks against banks, New York dam - sources
Wed Mar 23, 2016 - The Obama administration is expected to blame Iranian hackers as soon as Thursday for a coordinated campaign of cyber attacks in 2012 and 2013 on several U.S. banks and a New York dam, sources familiar with the matter have told Reuters.

The Justice Department has prepared an indictment against about a half-dozen Iranians, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. It is one of the highest-profile U.S. indictments against a foreign nation on hacking charges. It follows a landmark 2014 case in which a grand jury charged five members of the Chinese military with hacking into American computer networks and engaging in cyber espionage on behalf of a foreign government.

The charges, related to unlawful access to computers and other alleged crimes, were expected to be announced publicly by U.S. officials as soon as Thursday morning at a news conference in Washington, the sources said. The indictment was expected to directly link the hacking campaign to the Iranian government, one source said. The banks will not be identified in the indictment due to fear of retaliation, the source said. Though a planned indictment for the breach of back-office computer systems at the Bowman Avenue Dam in Rye Brook, New York, has been reported, it was only part of a hacking campaign that was broader than previously known, as the indictment will show, the sources said.

The dam breach coincided roughly with a spate of distributed denial of service attacks in 2012 that hit more than a half dozen U.S. financial institutions and the two episodes were long suspected of being connected. Cyber security experts have said these, too, were perpetrated by Iranian hackers against Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Capital One, PNC Financial Services and SunTrust Bank.

In the intrusion of the dam computers, the hackers did not gain operational control of the floodgates, and investigators believe they were attempting to test their capabilities. The hackers who were expected to be named in the indictment all reside in Iran, one source said. The Justice Department declined to comment.

Yep. I won't say i predicted this....Because it's clear as day what's happening.

WW3 is here. But it's cyber attacks, economic wars and domestic chaos, partially via terrorist attacks and partly from domestic protests turning violent.

Gonna be a rough 5-10 years until this shit plays itself out.

World War III started 15 years ago. It's a bit too late to predict how it's going to happen, or how it will be fought. We're living it now.

Yea, Islam is at the 1500 year point...

... just as at our 1500 year point...
