Its obvious to me that Kaspersky has to follow the pro-Moscow line of, "But the Americans are so much more powerful and sophisticated than us," which gives them excuses for things like "buffer countries" and other questionable geopolitical moves. Kasperky's connection to the FSB, Putin, and Russian military is well documented.

I also find the timing interesting here. Suddenly Kaspersky has what could be nation state cyberwar tools, while coincidentally in a propaganda war with the West?
