Cozy Bear: FSB At It Again

       So,  the coronavirus is moving across the steppes of Russya, the largest country in the world.  The outbreak has caused concerns in the Kremlin, the seat of Putin's power structure.  Given that the state health system is primitive, under funded, over worked, and faces acute shortages in every category, it's no surprise that the natives are restless.  Mad Vlad has rewritten the constitution to allow two more 6 year terms, essentially making him "leader-for-life".   The DUMA, representative house chamber, voted to change the document even before the national vote.  So much for their version of democracy.  Ha, it remains a national joke.   Anyway, the lack of healthcare has caused the natives to start looking to Moscova for answers.   And the Kremlin, naturally, goes to the FSB for a response.   And the FSB starts hacking the global systems to find real answers to their quest.  Wake up, Cozy Bear.
        The group charged with all national hacking efforts, Cozy Bear, began their hacking early in the pandemic.   They wanted scientific information related to research into the development of vaccines that might work against this virus.   Where to look?  Universities?  Of course.   CDC, yes.   Laboratories of the pharmaceutical companies-good idea.   So, we have the typical clandestine FSB hackers running the national kleptocracy effort to identify the most promising avenues of research to help Russya in its quest for a national vaccine that could bolster Putin's standing in the polls, which are slipping dramatically.
        These techies in Moscova(and St. Petersburg) are happy to facilitate these hacking efforts.  It gives them a "mission".   They are "serving" their MOther Country.   This adds to the long list of sins committed by a large 1st world country that has no business to be included in the category.  This sad state gives nationhood a bad name.   It seems that Russya has a genetic disposition to flawed governance.   For centuries, these people have been subjected to leadership that is incapable of forming a rational coalition of thoughtful individuals who can make a decision about anything, unless, of course, it includes a sentence to the GULAG.
     When will it end?  NObody knows, least of all, the Kremlin.
