US-Russia cybersecurity cooperation

[GeorgeMarron]

Not long ago Joe Biden met Vlad Putin to discuss bilateral relations and make some kind of a deal over cybersecurity as many companies around the world suffered cyberattacks and became targets of malware and ransomware. There was little info on the decisions made during and after that summit. However, the two leaders agreed to cooperate to prevent cybercrime and find and punish the criminals.

Nevertheless, the U.S. made little effort to take effective steps towards the common goals as Russia called upon active actions against cybercriminals. The American IT companies and government-employed specialists are willing to cooperate, but the White House can't still decide what to do. In the meantime, world-known Kaspersky Lab IT company says Russia is #1 world country on the number of incoming cyberattacks. Most of them come from the United States under cover of fake IP-addresses.

It's obvious that IT specialists of the two countries are interested in cooperation and will make world wide web more secure and sustainable. But no political will is seen from the United States. All this looks like the U.S. is not going to cooperate with Russia over cybersecurity. May be because it doesn't meet with Washington's interests?

US Foreign Policy is bent out of shape.

The US since 1945 has been involved in or started major wars constantly.

In the 1950's, as Europe virtually starved under rationing, the US enjoyed an economic boom and was awash financially as the likes of the UK and other countries paid their War debt to the States.

American governments realised there is money to be made out of wars and have continued to do so, leasing weaponry to countries around the world is a lucrative business for the good ole US of A.

The Trident missile system westminster is purchasing from the USA at a cost of £35 Billion, plus £10 Billion contingency, comes with a proviso that the MOD has no authorisation over the servicing of the missiles guidance systems, all guidance systems will be serviced back in the good ole US of A. 

I like the States and have lived there but there is very much two sides to the country.
