Still spying after all these years

After a long time, we found some spies living in the United States. They were not that great, otherwise they would not have been caught in the first place. But they were really sleeper cells maybe too asleep to collect anything of relevance in their course of spy business. It was a surprise nonetheless that the Russian Federation in still interested in finding out what is going on at the higher levels of the U.S. Government. Obviously for them, the Cold war lives on, only at a small scale, since you need money to recruit spies in the U.S.

It is intriguing what kind of possible incentives; the Russian may get by spying in the United States. They are not going to disrupt communications or give some information to their allies in third world countries (if they have any) because now the only allies are countries left, since the non state actors are all terrorists organizations trying to bring a global Jihad against everybody non Muslim or even moderate or minority Muslims. So it is better that the Russian and for that matter the U.S. should pool their resources and try to fight the real enemies (which I have just mentioned above). Although I must say this Spy saga would be a great material for a Spy movie.
