Cyber attacks and Nuclear Arms

If I lived in South Korea I would definitely be in support of the development of nuclear arms. During the Cold War, the policy of Peace through Strength served to not only race America ahead technologically but to also prevent an all out war with the Soviet Union. It wasn't a reduction of arms, but rather the upper hand that lead to the diffusion of the Cold war.

I believe that if South Korea has concrete means of retaliation, North Korea will be much less likely to attack. It does not make sense that a nation would attempt to attack some one who could retaliate in a much harsher manner

The fact that Cyber attacks have "moved to the forefront" of the US's concerns with China is saying something. China has extensive nuclear arms and over two million people in their army. The fact that cyber space attacks ranks alongside our national debt and nuclear arms throughout the world must mean that there is even more attacks than the government is letting onto.

Cyber attacks are just another form of espionage. I don't think asking China to regulate crucial American Information intake is going to work. Rather than trying to weaken China's cyber influence we should focus on strengthening ours.
