re: #280 Targetpractice
It’s easy to assume that Russian capabilities were overestimated, but it could also be that Ukrainian abilities to fend off such cyberwarfare were underestimated. Certainly it feels like people assumed that the Ukrainian Army itself would not be able to weather the storm.
True, Ukraine has had a long time to get its anti-hacking/sabotage defenses up.
I am still astounded at how quickly Germany went from being supreme ideological anti-militarist pacifists to pledging to build the strongest military force in Europe.
And Putin has offered the justification for expanding NATO right up to Russia’s borders.
