Re: Britain's " muted line about its offensive cyber capabilites"
what benefit is there in boasting/threatening like the French do?
For the same reason nuclear states are generally quite happy to have that status be publicly known. Its not much of a deterrent if the adversary only finds out you have an ICBM capability when you launch an all-out retaliatory strike in response to their incoming wave of surprise attack warheads, is it now?
