Proxy and Cyber Wars
We supposedly have a cease-fire with Iran, but the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Iranian and Chinese hackers are attacking our infrastructure. I get the feeling that Iran is a proxy for China and Russia. Just like all of the Iranian proxies out there, and some of them operating in our hemisphere. Hezbollah, Hamas, the list goes on. China, Russia, or Iran do not want a direct war with us, but they will work through proxies to attack us.
Cyber attacks are attacks, and we should treat those attacking us on a war footing. We should not trade with people who want our country weakened or destroyed. Why should we indirectly fund countries that hate us? Know your enemies, or you will be defeated by them.
Should we shut off trade to England, France, and Germany? In England, Tommy Robinson has been harassed and arrested for at least a decade because he stands up for Christianity in a Muslim country. Frankly, the only European country I trust is Hungary.
If, indeed, Iran is backed by both China and Russia, our military might be soon experiencing yet another defeat.
