Apps, Peter. “Commentary: As Cyber Warfare Turns 10, the West Risks Falling Behind.”Reuters, Thomson Reuters, 4 May 2017, www.reuters.com/article/us-cyber-warfare-commentary/commentary-as-cyber-warfare-turns-10-the-west-risks-falling-behind-idUSKBN180035.
The article suggests that there is a distinction between how the West and countries such as Russia and China use cyberspace. The United States focuses on preventing enemies from gaining access to resources such as government systems or important information and try to gain access to the secrets of other countries. Apps argues that countries such as Russia and China use cyberspace more advantageously. To prove his point he brings up the 2016 U.S presidential election as Russia used cyberspace to influence American voters quite heavily. Apps acknowledges that the U.S and the U.K are gaining many technologically talented specialists at their disposal, but also states that Russia has found ways to use “cyber” resources in ways that no other country has. Apps urges the West to invest more in cyber warfare as it is only getting more problematic.

Clarke also emphasises the concept that unlike warfare fought by weapons, there cannot be any kind of cyber deterrence created. This is one of the major differences between cyber warfare and conventional militaristic warfare. Clarke also brings up the point that there needs to be more international discussion on how to regulate cyber warfare just like countries have done with other kinds of warfare before attacks get out of
