The way it actually works is that the Russians will hire a disposable agent, pay them in crypto, and incite them to commit arson or a bombing.
If a foreign nation gets the capabilty to directly strike US soil we are way past worrying about us-east-1
Unless they are dumb, there are foreign nations that have sleeper agents with stockpiles of drone hidden on US soil.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s shipping containers or even privately owned houses, filled with optically controlled or autonomous drones, sitting near high value infrastructure around the world. Mirroring those Ukrainian trucks.
You don't need to guess about that. To the extent it's doable, the Russians are doing grey zone warfare in Europe.
us-east-1 is located close to the NSA and a huge fraction of the American military and intelligence apparatus. And Washington, D.C.
It's probably one of the safest places on the planet.
Huum. In a hypothetical scenario with a world war and I can chose between staying in us-east-1 or in the maquis[1], I would go for the maquis.
