You are just speculating, adds nothing to the discussion. If there is one country with a "misguided sense of patriotism" it would be the US. Spying on the entire world? Selling out every possible exploits to the governments? Implementing backdoors? This is just the tip of the iceberg and its citizens of the US who are carrying them out. Just the media using the terms "cyberterrorism" and "cyberwarfare" as you said, are just another trick to exploit the patriotism in the US, patriotism only benefits the government and not the people.
