I wonder if the creators of stuxnet are surprised by this. We tend to think of cyber warfare as being less harmful than the conventional kind. But could Iran doubling down on online security be more dangerous in the long run?.
No, absolutely not.
The iranian regime seems pretty adept at holding on to power, and the ramifications of online warfare seem to helping them.
If a war was to break out in the far east it wouldn't take long to get to world war status as America will be pulled into any war involving Japan or South Korea.
That is exactly why there will be no war between Pakistan and India. It just cannot happen. If they do fight a nuclear war, the entire region will be irreversibly damaged.
In fact, the possession of nuclear weapons has actually prevented conventional wars from taking place, although skirmishes do take place quite often.
Although the tensions do go high when another terrorist attack hits one of the major cities, it has yet to have caused an actual war
