Thank you.

Both the Daily Mail article you posted and the one the Washington Times article that I posted quoted Newt calling it an act of war. I thought it was significant.

I’m not sure that shoot on sight is the solution, but if it is a national attack it is past being called Terrorism.

In my opinion, we saw just such an attack by foreign nations on November 3-4, 2020.

Apparently, he never cashed in with China.

An excellent observation, and probably true.

Congress declaring war on a class of persons for summary executions?

Well, we know this sort of thing is going to finally show up when it comes to killing Christians who don’t take the MotB but there’s no need to speed things along.

Don’t get me wrong, the ransoms ware scum, every last one of them, need a good thumping under the law (and not expose facto laws).

Rare moment I agree

Hack power, communications, food, medical, air traffic, gas or even a phone system - send in Delta and wipe them all out. No mercy. No prisoners. No negotiations

There is no use for computer terrorists, let them live in fear

Totally 100% agree. Want to attack a country with a virus and a ransome threat? If your too weak to kill them, then at least hack off both arms. Saudi Arabia does do a few things right!

Should go for anyone behind the steal, first. They’re probably behind both, come to think of it and it ain’t Russia.

Put a bounty on their head and let’s play, “Who wants to be a Millionaire?” Comes with a visa after the deed is done.

I don’t believe that became law.

Time for Letters of Marque and Reprisal to come back into fashion.

True - but consider that the pipeline is critical and the loss of gas could well have caused someone here to die. The disruption can be devastating - it wasn’t, but could be. If the penalty is in place hackers may well back off.
