I'd be extremely surprised if any tech that is stolen is better than what they have / are working on. There is lots to criticize about America, their funding and continuous innovation in war tech is not one of those things.
I mean, perhaps not on the ground in Israel (which amounts to a small technicality). They still keep tabs on Israel activity everywhere else.
Allies in general don't mind being spied on, as long as that intel is shared. For example, German security forces had no idea about the Hamburg cell plotting 9/11 in their country. They would very much wanted a tip off, even from an allied spy agency.
Whatsapp is the primary way I do this because of it's global reach, but you could get away with sms too.
I don't think what you are saying is even technically possible ("we spy on everyone except this small country"). Everyone spies on everyone.
Isn't that the point? We all would be better off working together, but that's not in our nature to do so.
Because they don't have the capacity. And NSA doesn't steal Huawei IP on behalf of Cisco, quite the opposite.
A lot of people are ok with lies if they confirm what they already believe.
This is a common theory in the US as well, where the accusation of "they are doing it for money" is most repeated. It's ridiculous and untrue, but that's the logic here.
What could even a theoretical justification for hospitals inflating numbers in a fully government-run system ?
Real healthy community discussion going on.
Their policy was and continues to be an abject failure.
> "People attacking Sweden don't realize Finland and Norway were actually more laissez faire.
> Since early June, Finland and Norway have had less restrictive policies--and they've done remarkably well."
This is, of course, not true.
Not "similar", it was the highest per capita death rate in the world alongside the UK for 2 months.
Sergey and Larry tried to sell Google for 1 million dollars, and failed. Zuck thought Facebook would never be profitable. The idea that "successful people" have plan all along is fiction.
They might have a vision and are pursuing said vision, but things rarely turn out anywhere near the way they are intended.
Referring to that as journalism is an insult to actual journalists.
Greenwald is the de facto leader of this movement.
People don't need deep fake videos to believe lies, they do it with little to no supporting evidence anyways.
What a cold and callus interpretation of a man that did real damage to thousands of people.
