The great leveling

Friedman wrote the popular book, "The World is Flat", but now we have finally reached the point where it is true in terms of military strike capability.

A computer virus dubbed Stuxnet is roaming the series of tubes that make up the Interwebs. It was already believed to be created by a nation state due to the level of complexity, but it was thought to be a superior piece of malware or an industrial espionage program. After further study, now the experts are saying that the virus infects industrial control systems and that it is designed to physically destroy a single target. It is a high grade military weapon and it is believed to already have hit its target, speculated to be the Iranian nuclear plant.

Stuxnet malware is 'weapon' out to destroy ... Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant?

See these previous post on David Murrin, who sees a rapid decline for the United States. He discusses the advent of new military weapons that reduce the U.S.'s military advantage.
