Sounds too good to be true. I'd love to believe it.

Didn't russia claim to have the full Epstein files, so how did they get them if not by hacking US government?

Attribution of cyber attacks is extremely difficult, and US seems to notoriously under invest into infrastructure. Unlike other countries, most of the power grid is above ground. How can you be so sure that it is safe?

I didn't say it was safe by virtue of defensive capabilities, but it's safe by virtue of the US will very likely come bomb you or use its own cyber capabilities if you do something to the US. This is in contrast to the EU which was the comparison point, which is unable and unwilling to do much against cyber attacks.
