Makes sense. Our economic battle v. China, Russia, and others seem to be adversely affecting our networks. Let's get quantum computers and really change the game. We also are regularly hacked by "allies" like the UK and Israel, so they're actually our adversaries.

Maybe stop hacking your allies, and they might stop hacking you 🤔
Pretty much every government hacks every other government. Just like every government spies on every other government. They need to spy on each other to know they can trust each other, or something.

A DDoS attack isn't really hacking though. In most cases disrupting a service does not give you a lot of benefits, just annoys people. (Disrupting services in case of stock market trades do give you a real edge.)
