The times for that are terrible and, astonishingly, even more terrible.

And I agree with autopope - we've been doing hybrid warfare for at least a century now. Attacking communication and supply lines (especially supply lines) has been part of warfare for a very long time. It's been interesting that it's relatively quiet on the cyber front at the moment; though maybe Russia aren't saying much, and neither are Ukraine in case Russia gets wise to what they're doing.

Actually, Russia may be holding off on deliberate Kessler cascade because China have a bunch of moon missions on at the moment, and maybe they're not wanting to piss them off that much.
