Whether NK is behind this hack or not, you cannot deny that the president's statement is a show of force. It is a clear message to any country that plans to use 'cyberwarfare' against the United States - we will retaliate proportionally.

The clear message the USA appears to be broadcasting by reacting swiftly on what appears to be very dubious information is that it is now providing the facility for trolls to SWAT entire countries, rather than just someone who had pissed them off on Counterstrike. I do not think this makes the world safer.
