This is an oddly one-sided comment on a complex issue. A computer is an incredibly complex, incredibly large attack surface, and when you have millions of computers exposed to the internet and exchanging data, the chances of a state actor gaining a foothold in a government system is almost 100%. This goes for both sides: Russia has likely hacked the US a thousand times over, and the US has likely hacked Russia a thousand times over.

How is it one sided? The parent said exactly what you just said. Literally the exact same thing. "It's just a matter of time" precisely because of the large attack surface.
