Re: Myself, I blame
"...they're just a backup now..."
In the last 2 years with Russia seemingly developing the fastest (declassified) ABM, the USA resuming nuclear land tests and China designing a new MIRV/minuteman, I'd say you have it backwards. I think they're tired of fighting over the wire and they want to get back to the down and dirty again. Gov./Oligarchs can only induce so much fear into the people with Cyberware, but Nukeware... mmmmm that's delicious. They're right too, as have you ever found a virus on your computer and immediately went into "Duck and Cover"... like Bert?
Remember kids, when you see the flash, move fast.
