In my rather poorly informed opinion, these developments are something exciting to look forward to. While some may make a substantial claim that the DCEP may be misused (but in reality, what isn't), it will be fun to observe how the world responds :)
anyhow did u exercise today, lib?
Sounds pretty crazy and also promising. I would just worry about the potential of cyber attacks from the US shutting the entire economy down, or power outages (caused by the US or not) but I'm sure they have a contingency for that.
It's called "stopping trade with the US" and "Dumping their US treasury bonds". Which would cause the US to immediately implode.
Inshallah
I would argue that the US would just outsource their economic woes to other countries. Always the way out is war
A collapse in the US dollar as a reserve currency would significantly harm their ability to do that, much as it did for the French and British Empires.

Yeah I read about how the US was able to hack Iranian centrifuges and break them, and ever since the threat of US cyber attacks has been on my mind. Same with the alleged assassinations carried out by hacking self driving cars.
can we get a source? sounds crazy wild
They're talking about Stuxnet I believe. The even crazier part of this is that re-engineered forms of Stuxnet have been found in the wild. I used to have a RSS feed of the cybersecurity blogs from a whole bunch of malware / cybersecurity companies, but all that was lost to a dead HDD, I'll see if I can dig anything up
I just cant remember who I used to follow, but you could probably put together a pretty interesting feed from the sources curated in this list: https://blog.feedspot.com/cyber_security_rss_feeds/
IIRC Stuxnet was actually so pervasive that all nuclear facilities have to be air-gapped now.
Source: A guy I know who worked at a nuclear facility in a US-allied country said that one day a bunch of American government types (he thinks DHS) showed up and told them that they could no longer use unsanitized USBs on any computers, because of a chance they'd be infected.
I can definitely believe that. I believe the US gov or one of the 3 letter agencies holds at lest one patent for a claw-like device that physically rips USB slots from new computers (lol). I remember from maybe 6 years or so ago there was this "BadUSB" attack that was proof-of-concept[ed] by researchers that could like gain root access thru the USB firmware
