Can I add two sentences to that? I think you have to define what's the first shot and whether it's kinetic or whether it's cyber. If China closes down Taiwan's electrical grid or closes down its telecommunications with the outside world, currently my understanding is that international law does not recognize that as an act of war. A few years ago, it would have been, because it's the same as being bombed.
I agree entirely with what the General was saying, but I think we—this country and the west—have to develop a more comprehensive definition of what the first shot is. The Russians certainly had a number of first shots in the cyberworld, and it facilitated their kinetic invasion.
