The Russian Shadow Trade for Weapons Parts, Fueled by Crypto

I'm wondering whether the simple fix would be: a) have NSA hack the controller for these things given it's commodity hardware, or just have Nvidia code in an "anti war" routine that shuts the thing down if it detects it being used in a war zone, vs b) classify it as a munition and have it fall under stricter export controls...

Or c) what crypto giveth, crypto taketh away - yea you can hide identities behind crypto, but given each transaction is essentially tracked on whatever blockchain, can you follow the intel through to its source and create a record of the middlemen involved?

Too bad the US didn't backdoor it? They learned nothing from the Chinese.
