Why would they be? If you're physically in the US and commit a crime, I think it's still a US crime even if the victim is outside the US.

I doubt the US would prosecute you though for hacking Russia.

I remeber a video from the grugq where he said he has a "friend" who pirated Iran targets directly from US IPs because he knew he had no chance of being extraded.

What does pirated mean in this context? Usually I think of computer-related pirating as copyright infringement, but this sounds more serious.

It depends. If they know they will do nothing, but in future if they find problem with you, who knows?
