Wargames

After actually firing lasers at US satellites, to test whether this effectively blinded them, China has now actually hacked into military computers at the Pentagon and disabled them.

Obviously, these are two pressure points were any conflict to break out between the two powers - the eyes and the brain as it were. But to actually make such attacks, rather than simulating them, seems to be taking the idea of wargames a step further than normal.

We live in dangerous times.
