Well, let's assume for a second that it actually was China's People's Liberation Army that perpetrated the attack, does that mean the US will launch an all out blitz on China? I mean, we can't stand idly by while those that hate us for our freedom are allowed to attack can we? Oh, we can? My mistake.

I agree. I don' think the Chinese have done anything to make anyone want to go to war with them. I know the Chinese government does bad things but another war over this is Not believable.

Not only are you talking dumb, do you realize that the way the wind travels around the Earth, it would end up pouring radioactive dust all over your community. Nuclear weapons are a political tool (a stupid tool at that), not a weapon. Nobody wins when nukes are used.

Seriously, what the f**k are you talking about? NOBODY is trying to make us attack China. The United States and China are as close diplomatically as we've been in many many years.The PLA has had a high profile cybe warfare division for years now. This sort of stuff happens. The United States also has a fledgling cyber warfare unit which falls under the Air Force, and likely probes various defense systems around the world in return.
