Is there any reason to believe the state of Russian/Chinese/etc. security is any better in this regard?

[dleslie → ceejayoz]

Russia's aging military hardware is an asset in this case, as it's not as vulnerable to electronic intrusion as a result of having little to intrude.

Then there's a good argument the billions the DOD spends on its "modernization efforts" should be spent elsewhere.

[Analemma_ → ceejayoz]

US military strategy and tactics are much more reliant on high-tech advantages than other countries though. If everyone’s tech all goes down, we’re going to be hit a lot harder.

[airstrike → ceejayoz]

No, but all that does is ensure we all lose collectively

[kazagistar → airstrike]

That is true of any war that the US has even a remote possibility of losing.

[vermilingua → kazagistar]

That is true of any war that the US has even a remote possibility of entering.
