I think that if civilized people keep tolerating and normalizing warfare long enough then it eventually catches up with them in their own country.
Exactly what you are supposed to do to stop it, I am not sure. But just complete acceptance or even enthusiasm for warfare is not a safe or necessarily sane response.
I also think that part of this is that people latch on to simplified one-sided fairy tale explanations of conflicts.
It could certainly be worse. But the thing is, Russia has so many options for inflicting physical damage that the cyberattacks are relatively less important.
I don’t really agree. These things are extremely small. An outage for 1-6 hours is negligible. Russia has failed all of its strategic objectives including an effort to maim Ukrainian power infrastructure.
I wouldn’t have been totally surprised if Russian cyber attacks were genuinely capable of disabling large parts of critical networks. But I’m glad to see they’re not.
