That is irrelevant, I answered to a message in context, and that context was "if china did the hacking, US would be on the brink of war".

Which is why I pointed out that the US mostly had no real reaction when China did hack twice not just some UN politician emails, but the biggest military project of the US, one meant to replace pretty much every other fighter planes they have except the f22 for the foreseeable future.

So if they did not do anything about that, no, they would not be on the brink of war over a Chinese hack of the UN. But I'm sure they would write a strongly worded letter.

Well, the context was wrong, anyway. The real context is: "if china did that, US would hypocritically cry about it".
