“Blowing up a bomb is such a powerful message” at about 21:00, does he not realize what an entire country going dark for months or more would send perhaps the largest message to a population of all. No power means pumps stop working and water doesn’t get filtered, gas stations can’t pump the gas from their tanks because they’re electronic, food distribution into cities hits a standstill. No AC in the summer or no heat in the winter. No traffic lights. Supermarkets go dark and food goes bad in every home refrigerator. No tv or internet limits communications and information and people get scared. People in critical care in hospitals die.
Sure, it’s not immediate like a bomb, but if you want to scar multiple generations for decades to come, the hopelessness that comes from living in the Stone Age is miles worse.

Stuxnet, aka: Olympic Games? This was just a small part of another operation called Nitro Zeus... or was it Nature of Zeus?
Check out the documentary, Zero Days. They have it on Netflix.

14:32-15:10 does this mean that a country ,if it has the technological capabilities to do so, could actually hack the U.S. Early Warning System and launch an attack on U.S. soil?
