Worldwide Economic Warfare ongoing?

Someone once said, "Business is War!"

And to some degree that is true. However, what is happening lately with Target and now Neiman Marcus and they say several other store chains nationwide is kind of a part of this "Worldwide Economic Warfare ONGOING".

The problem here is a worldwide unregulated and unpoliced Internet. I was having a conversation with my son about this how the U.S. is sort of lazy compared to many other nations in regard to security on business systems. He was saying places like Japan, and South Korea and China for example, are far more security conscious regarding money transactions than the U.S. is.

Why is this the case? Maybe because there are more ruthless people around the world than normally show up in the U.S.?

The U.S. has just felt safe for too long (like since World War II). By the end of that war we could do no wrong and were basically the last big nation on earth still economically and physically unscathed compared to most other large nations on Earth.

However, then the Internet was invented and as soon as financial transactions were allowed worldwide all that perceived safety disappeared. It's almost like it melted away with our innocence as a nation.

And the U.S. hasn't really adapted to economic and idea theft yet. We feel we are a free society and we want to exercise our freedoms.

However, this also allows criminals and "Criminal Acting nations" who don't punish their citizens for stealing millions, billions and more from the U.S. every year to get away with it with no fear of ever being punished in at least 20% or more nations around the world as long as they stay there.

It's true some really pissed off rich people and rich nations might send hit squads out to get these people one by one and make them permanently disappear and this happens too.

But, the fact that the nations these people call home will never incarcerate them or even try them for these crimes against Americans is pretty disgusting especially when up to 110 million people had various kinds of information stolen since Thanksgiving 2013.

I personally think we will come to a point where either the Internet is shut down relatively permanently or we have to think of a new way to do all this with about 100 times more security than we have now.

We have to find some kind of way to prevent millions and billions of dollars  being stolen across the nations borders without anyone being punished for it ever.

Fraud through the Internet worldwide costs people and businesses over 1 trillion dollars now per year worldwide. What will it cost in the future?
