So that was it? That was our swift and unmistakable, proportionate retaliation?
let me get this straightâŚsomebody, we donât know who yet, although the âauthoritiesâ are saying N Korea, hacked Sony, a Japanese company with big business in the US. That hack resulted in information getting released, that embarrassed a bunch of hollywood turds, and then some sort of threat was released and every movie-theater voluntarily decided not to release the film. So what do we do? hack the internet-access framework of an entire country. yeaâŚsounds proportional. i guess we should just ignore another Act of War by the USA.
It was more of a warning for more developed nations that allow or support internet criminal hacking enterprises.
Jump to conclusions much?

not really. economic sanctions against Iran, Iraq and Russia are modern day acts of war. crippling a countryâs internet accessâŚact of war. countless military excursions into sovereign Iran, Syria and PakistanâŚacts of war. to put it another wayâŚif another country dared do any of those things to the USofA, we would be going to warâŚbecause an act of war was committed against us. anybody who doesnât get that is either ignorant, lying, or delusional. sorry if that describes you, but thatâs just the way it is.
And all 15 people allowed to use the intertubez in NK are psychedâŚ
Yawn. Iâm a huge opponent of US military adventurism, but your false equivalence accusation is false. Everyone knows NK did it. It was an attack on a domestic corporation on our soil and cost hundreds of millions of dollars and will negatively effect the economy. NK quite clearly committed an act of war first here and they received a reminder that we can hold them down and shit in their mouth if we want, so they better cut the crap.
Had we hacked some EU or Middle East company in this manner, youâd be whining that we had committed an act of warâŚand youâd be rightâŚso why do you choose to be wrong about it when NK does it?
i donât whineâŚyou should not be proud of your lack of manners. Iâm not convinced that NK did it. We will have to agree to disagree on that, because I am aware everyone has already concluded NK did it. I do agree it will negatively effect the economy, although in nearly immeasurable ways. Sony Pictures is a US company and will be effected, but is owned by Sony (a Japanese company)⌠Not sure where youâre getting hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue. The most lucrative hollywood movies are lucky to break over 100 million GROSSâŚand letâs be honest, âThe Interviewâ wasnât going to be that lucrative of a movie (comedies never are). âŚhaving said thatâŚassuming it was NK, and assuming it was state sanctioned (which is a safe assumption for NK), then yes, they did commit an act of war. I guess Iâve been ignoring so many acts of war, sometimes one slips by my attention.
