Ex-Pentagon Official Warns of US in WWIV
A former Pentagon and White House official, Doug MacKinnon, predicted that the United States has already entered a stage of "Global War Four" largely driven by technology. He warned that its opponents, such as China, could launch widespread cyberattacks that disrupt American infrastructure without the need for nuclear bombs or missiles. He explained that these sophisticated attacks could include disabling water and electrical networks, hacking financial systems, and disrupting transportation and aviation by controlling traffic systems and satellites. Additionally, they could involve spreading fake videos and using drones to confuse the public and force surrender. He emphasized that the risks are real, noting that U.S. water systems and infrastructure have already experienced digital security breaches. He highlighted that vulnerabilities in large weapon systems reveal significant weaknesses, especially with the increasing reliance on artificial intelligence and automation. The expert believes that the country's weak points are its assets and cities that depend heavily on technology. Meanwhile, advances in digital technologies and smart cars increase the likelihood of counter-attacks. The report questions: Will we face robot wars first, or will our technological foundations cause us to be defeated?
