Honest question: Assuming nation states have the all-powerful ability to install software on your networking gear, which country would you rather have? USA or Russia?

If you're in the USA it seems clearly better to have Russian since they can do much less to affect your life and vice versa.

If the US government wants to spy on you, they have boots on the ground. Russia has been involved with ransomeware campaigns.
