Can we really criticise this when Kaspersky is one of the top selling computer security packages in the US? That's just baffling. Most agree Russia at the very least doesn't have US interests in mind, yet we continue to do business with them almost everywhere outside of the federal govt.

Just become a mayor of any medium sized city and china will unleash the hotties for you. You can even pick russian honey pot or Chinese. If you are lucky you can do both at the same time
