we are a few attacks like this from a country interpreting it as a declaration of war. I have no doubts a developed country counter-intelligence cell can find which country is responsible for such a large scale attack. I wish they target countries like China instead of spineless france.

Because Chinese Life is less worth than "spineless" French? What is that disgusting worldview of yours? You know what a blood-bank is, right?

I read it as meaning China is more likely to track down and prosecute the attackers. I use the term prosecute loosely.

They mean that China will respond in kind, rather than France, who may just wring their hands.

u sir should use an LLM

3 times editing you comment to make my answer unfit...well that's a choice.

But let's talk about LLM's, i hope you dont ever use them with a mindset like "pegasus on leaders phone = declaration of war".

sure it is the edit that made your comment unfit yet the person who replied to your own comment five 5 seconds after got it. we can discuss reality of the world as you want but it seems u just fine with foreign nations hacking your president. debating would be hard.

>u just fine with foreign nations hacking your president. debating would be hard.

And you are fine with declaring war, pretty sure you not even touched anything warlike.

Try to spy on leaders is a thing since forever, and because both sides want to do it, no one would "declare a war" just for the spying...it's kind of a game, accepted and respected on all sides.

There was a time (and probably still is) when Obama spy'd on Merkel....

Spineless or beholden? That is the question.

So if the attack comes from groups hosted in <checks notes> Israel, Russia or some SEA proxy of China, what does France do? Nuke the country?

no. find links with government then if yes consider it a declaration of war. pegasus on a foreign country leader for instance should be treated as one
