Dude, it is well known that US is the single most powerful cyber warfare practitioner. They even had a few very successful operations in Iran and may be in China and Russia (you can guarantee that those countries won't disclose the incidents).

TBH, one should be happy that US possess such power. US might be biased, but the country is at least rational.

I don't follow that logic:

> >1: The US is the single most powerful cyber warfare practitioner

> >2: Successful operations in Iran, China and Russia

> >3: But those countries won't disclose such incidents

So how you can be so sure about point 1?


About eighty years ago, the US assembled the top minds of nuclear physics, and the US military knew the potential of creating a weapon out of physics, then BOMB. Now the situation is the same, it's reasonable to think the US is the most advanced nation in cyber weaponary.


Things were different in the era immediately after WW2 and now. Power and wealth is distributed amongst more countries now. The US cannot do much with the Taiwan situation for example.
