And if it was, was it the Chinese? And if it was, was it only a practice run leading up to an attack on Taiwan?
It’s believed not to be a matter of if but a matter of when the CCP will attack and invade Taiwan.
Considering we presently have the weakest Commander in Chief in the history of the USA and that the next one is highly unlikely to be weaker than Biden, wouldn’t it be more strategic for China to make a move sooner rather than later?
Senator Marc Rubio referred to this subject today in response to what happened to AT&T earlier today.
Were China to use a cyber attack against the United States, wouldn’t it constitute an act of war??

Of course it was. The FBI was too busy trying to frame Trump supporters.

Man, if they take all of this down, we're screwed!!
A kid at work today had to carry a route he'd never carried before, and told the supervisor he couldn't do it without the GPS on his phone. So, the supervisor printed him out a map of the route. He said he didn't understand, or know how to read a map.
My wife had the same issue with one of the drivers at her work, and had to reschedule some deliveries because nobody can (or wants to) read a map. Even if you highlight the path of travel for them.
All they gotta do to bring America to a grinding halt is cut off cell service.

Can you imagine how many young people were absolutely losing their damn minds today!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

I ran a crew of 8 drivers 20 years ago, and I had to teach them how to read the maps. I had all the Hagstrom maps pasted on a couple of sheets of plywood and marked out every route and destination for my drivers. It was tough but my drivers finally got pretty good at it, but today, with GPS, I doubt if anyone would be able to follow the maps.
Without the internet the nation would grind to a halt and we would lose millions of our citizens, some estimates are as high as 90% of the nation.
And with the chinks making threatening remarks, and Biden ( and his administration) being as weak as a day old calf, we might just be in for some trouble.

I must admit map reading is not my strong suit. I can do it; however, landmarks are my strong suit. Tell me go x number of miles, turn at the church with the big steeple and arrival is guaranteed.

Having said that I have yet to use GPS in my car. I do the map thing on my iPad and print out the written directions.

It was a little hard on me because I wasn't able to get on here for a while. I settled down and made doughnuts instead.

If you have’google maps’ on your iPhone, learn to use it ( it’s easy), and it will talk you through your whole drive. It’s incredibly helpful, until the internet goes down.

No irritating voices allowed in my car when I travel. Usually, UncleE makes sure he is available for me to call if I may be lost. The last time I truly feeling lost a nice lady, at the place I stopped for help, was going where I was and let me follow her. Just love southerners!

I understand completely.
And there are helpful folks everywhere, though some places a bit more scrutiny is a necessity.

Small town NC at the A&P grocery. If I have to stop for help, I usually make it a grocery store. I have always had good luck with kind people at grocery stores.

👍👍, I told my drivers look for a post office, mail carrier, or a fire house. I figure they are most likely to be helpful.

All you need to do is stop at the local diner, or feed store, and ask for directions. They'll tell you "You just go about a half mile that way till you come to the lightening struck tree. Turn right there. Then, a ways down, you'll see an old Farm All tractor next to the fence. Take the next left after that, and go till you see an old Jersey bull standing in the corner chewing on a piece of bailing twine.
Their driveway is about a quarter mile past that, on the right.
Honk your horn so they can put the dogs up before you get out".
