A new U.S. Cyber Strategy shifts liability to the private sector. Plus major American businesses

increase their bets on China and will take an inside look at Ukrainians training in the UK on how to use Western

techs. What is really unusual here is that they are going straight out of training straight into a battlefield. It's an incredibly short period
