This will continue to escalate until it ends up with people dying or both sides back down.

Or everyone just keeps up this new internet war just like we kept the cold war going for decades, with no one being killed by it.

Don't think for a second that no one died either indirectly, or directly from the Cold War.

Plenty of people died (directly or indirectly) due to the cold war.

[fghh45sdfhr3]

Well yes. Plenty because even one human is plenty. But plenty compared to how many people died in WWII? Or WWI? Or any real war we had before?

Compared to what happened immediately before, the cold war was incredibly peaceful.

So I suspect this new cyber war will continue the trend and keep real killings to 0. I do believe we will have a real internet hacking and protecting and counter hacking "war" if you will. But I suspect, and obviously hope, no one actually dies from it.
