The thing that's interesting to me about USSR and USA is that they were always playing the same games, tit for tat. Poison cigars, the space race, funneling money to rebel groups to instigate riots... and then regime change and disinformation campaigns. You know I remember reading 10 years ago about how US Army was developing the tech to generate sock-puppet accounts across social media channels to influence public opinion and distribute propaganda. Did we really think it wouldn't be used against us?
"Apparently a company called Ntrepid has scored the contract and the US military is getting ready to roll out these "sock puppet" online personas. Of course, it insists that all of this is targeting foreign individuals, not anyone in the US."
HBGary, Palantir, Berico, anything they build will be seen and copied by foreign intelligence. So we're still stuck playing tit for tat.
