NIST also pushed DES after it was known to have been broken. Granted NIST-800 does actually match industry standards but that’s only because the NSA can’t weaken it without raising eyebrows.
Since you bring up Sandworm, that’s a great example of proving my point. Not the US.
You can’t call Colonial “cherry-picking” and then say that critical infrastructure is a known vulnerability no one can defend. It’s a great example of, once again, my point because Russia has already taken out grids multiple times and we still have no response. If you say the feds got Volt Typhoon I’ll point to plenty of other attacks on US companies they didn’t foil.
Show me the equivalent US attacks on Chinese, North Korean, or Russian targets. Show me the constant prevention of not attacks on government targets but private targets. Show me the diversion of academic resources and constant publication pulled from universities because of its classified nature. Show me a government that pays more than private sector with its pick of the top. Show me a private sector known around the world for its cyber capabilities.
