I'm not so sure about trusting Cook.

In the end his job is to deliver shareholder value - I don't see how tacit assistance to Russia or China would help *long term* value. Granted, it may offer a quick win, but longer term the impact of something like that becoming public, which in the end it certainly would, because these things alway do, would be catastrophic for the company and it's complicit employees.

While the FBI/NSA would take a very positive view of Apple assisting them, I can't imagine they'd smile and Nod at Cook if he'd helped the Chinese.

So on balance I'd trust all three not to cosy up to any "foreign power"
