We’ve been in a cyber and shadow war with Russia for a little over a decade now. The closest we’ve come to a hot war so far is when Russia ordered it’s mercenaries to take an oil field guarded by US troops in Syria. (We were backing the rebels, they were backing Assad) We asked them if they were Russian and the Russians denied it so we unleashed the full power of the US Air Force on the column. Something like 5 guys out of 300 survived.
And ever since then Russia has decided a campaign of political influence, hacking, and physical sabotage was the way to go.
So yeah a country isn’t going to just sit there and take that, there should be a response. If for nothing else then to counter their efforts.
I disagree, offensive actions reach out into Russian systems and can have multiple end results from accessing and pulling info, implanting back doors into key systems, probing for systems and capabilities…
Defensive measures, to me that means firewalls, logging, and hardening. our systems

A response would be defensive action. This is specified as OFFENSIVE action, which we shouldn’t be taking unless we are at war.
Yeah. I think you’re getting the scope of things. We’re being attacked and these chuds just told our guys to stop fighting.
