Europeans: "Those perfidious Russians and the nefarious Chinese are the two single biggest threats to our domestic security. Why... they'll just hack into any old thing and fill it full of evil communist propaganda. They'll shut down our critical infrastructure, hijack our data services, and spam us so full of phishing attempts that you won't know what's safe to click on! And all just to watch us fail, then laugh at us. The fiends!!!"
