He’s essentially asking for modern day piracy. I do believe we’re very much on the receiving end of piracy from all our openly hostile enemies (e.g. China, Russia, NK, etc) it’s time to level the playing field.
But no, the playing field is "unfair"
I’m advocating for loud and proud here though. We have more than enough bandwidth in every sense of the word to do both. IMO we treat it like any other sanction.
Your point is well received though, we have been very much on the offensive. Which is how you know that if we had the capability to do loud and effective shit and have the world stage see it, we would do it. But we don’t because everyone is for some reason afraid to do it.
I worked for DARPA for about a decade and a half, we weren’t ever allowed to use the word hacking. Think about how fucked that is. They were making advanced tanks, drones, missiles, all kinds of weapons to kill people. But hacking??? Way too far man! That’s too much!!
And yes this is actually Alejandro / P4x.
We're certainly getting a lot of insight into your thought process!
You get your nation’s technological foundations crippled or your financial institutions robbed, I’m betting which bureaucratic requisition form used to authorize it is inconsequential.
West being on the receiving end IS levelling of the playing field.
But to the British, he's a hero and they idolize him
It's how you look at buccaneers that makes them bad or good
And I see us as members of a noble brotherhood
