It's a very long post but ok ts great. I've just had a brief look at it. I think noone is prepared for such attacks. Not even if countries like US.

I just read it completely and now I'm worried too, the infrastructure is probably not prepared for a real disaster situation, thanks for sharing

Read about half and the TL;DR is:
  • During times of crisis you want simple, effective infrastructure. We've replaced such infrastructure with "modern" but brittle and complicated infrastructure. The example given is an old telephone that didn't require electricity being replaced by a powered, internet dependent VOIP phone.
  • Don't outsource your infrastructure maintenance to someone who lives far away. They might not be reachable during times of crisis.
  • Avoid logistical bottlenecks like mechanical bridges that can be disabled and prevent trucks/tanks from crossing during a war.
An interesting article with valid points. It reads like a transcript from a video though which would've been preferable in that case.
