US to attack cyber criminals first, ask questions later – if it protects victims

No, no, no

If there is one country which you really do not want to give pre-emptive and//or extrajurisdictional powers it's the US.

Pre-emptive: looking at how their Civil Asset Forfeiture laws are being abused in country without any attempt to correct the issue ought to be enough of a hint

Extrajurisdictional: have a look at the reach of the Cloud Act and then tell me is you really want to trust them acting responsibly. Also, CIA - check out what they get up to. Hint: extraordinary rendition.

No, no, no. Baaaaaaad idea. That's like giving a convicted felon a crowbar for domestic use.
