Kaspersky Lab Says It Has Become Pawn in US-Russia Geopolitical Game (reuters.com)
Russian cyber security firm Kaspersky Lab, reacting to a U.S. government move restricting its activities, said on Wednesday it had fallen victim to U.S.-Russia global sparring while the Kremlin criticized the U.S. action as politically-motivated. From a report: The Trump administration on Tuesday removed the Moscow-based firm from two lists of approved vendors used by government agencies to purchase technology equipment, amid concerns its products could be used by the Kremlin to gain entry into U.S. networks. "By all appearances, Kaspersky Lab happened to be dragged into a geopolitical fight where each side is trying to use the company as a pawn in its game," RIA news agency quoted the company's press service as saying.
Children owned by the russian mafia.
In case you forget, Kaspersky labs man was arrested by Putin on espionage charges. He was likely a USA spy. He fitted the profile of the 'ex FSB men' in the Trump pee memos.
He was arrested 6 DAYS AFTER TRUMP GOT HOLD OF THE UNREDACTED PEE MEMO.
So 6 days after Trump got hold of the pee memo, naming the names of the informants confirming the pee memo contents, at least 2 of these people got arrested by Putin. One of them from Kaspersky labs.

So it's absolutely obvious why Trump is trying to deflect attention away from his latest Russia email links by attacking Kaspersky.
Trump did a deal with a foreign government to hack his own country to get elected. It's time Republicans remember they are also Americans.
Moscow didn't do anything, and the only reason Russia rolled into Crimea was after Ukraine adapted a law making Ukrainian the sole official language, thereby making life potentially difficult for Russian speaking Ukrainians.
Didn't do anything? LOL.
Other than sending troops, weapons and equipment, passing a vote to annex... of course, nothing. Also, you might want to review your understanding of the time line.
