It is a good point! Yes, the US has one of the biggest cyber capabilities, which it uses for surveillance or as a tool for foreign policy. There is a difference. The US is not taking out hospitals, power generation, financial systems, food distribution, etc. Whereas these 4 countries are targeting critical infrastructure, businesses, and citizens.

I highly doubt we don’t do that.
We don't. You would hear about it in local country news.

That said, we absolutely do use cyber to conduct espionage and manipulate social viewpoints!
You should try lying less.
