This is an opinion piece written by a previously high-ranking CIA official advocating for increased defense spending in light of recent high profile hacks.

Slightly related, but this happened once in the US.

I don't see anything anti-American about this article at all. What are you referring to?

It's this weird alt left death spiral into self loathing. NYTimes victim blaming America, in doing so victimizes itself. Strange.

Have you two read the article?

The idea that the USA is some kind of neutral benevolent superpower with a mere passing interest in the affairs of international cyber espionage and has no quarrel with such is laughable. NYT simply wants to point it out to those who think self criticism is blasphemy.

But a critical view of NYT and its direction is certainly worth exploring.

”The idea that the USA is some kind of neutral benevolent superpower with a mere passing interest in the affairs of international cyber espionage and has no quarrel with such is laughable.”

Except that literally nobody has this idea or is even pretending to have it.

We have to express an idea here, otherwise what is being objected to in the NYT? What exactly is the NYT attacking, demeaning, in your view?
