No shit sherlock, thanks to the west for their promptness to deliver and capacity for strategy foresight...
The stalemate is intentional from us, westerners we have the capacity, we're just not so much concerned (read: weapons delivered to Ukraine sold well in other markets but not by a big enough margin to justify the financial risk of helping a country that might disappear and not ever pay back.)
But would astroturfing on VKontact or telegram be a reason to nuke? Would paying nice crypto to Russian politicians be a motive to launch nukes? Bring the same mayhem, using sores in russian society, that they regularly bring to western countries using their sores and operating on both sides of the aisle. Use the same "the water makes the frogs gay" rethoric they have their allies use against the west.
Let's play this game too. At least we might have some fun till we all go the way of Slovakia or Hungary.
I am getting really annoyed with governments in western countries that keep falling into the same indecision about how to calm putin down without being too harsh because he might throw a tantrum or worse we would have failed our democratic values by using the bully's tools against himself.
Just what Putin's puppets need in europe and north america to gain political power.
Yeah, it's alright. it might have cost 2$ more per phone to get some cybersecurity firm to audit all their services, fix them before launch and provide continuous monitoring. Who can afford 2$ on a 700 phone?... /S
How on earth would anybody launch a tech product without being serious on encryption and data protection in 2023?
I consider those flaws to be purposefull. Carl Pei cannot invoque the inexperience card anymore.
At least Google, Apple and Samsung protects the data they collect on their users, they know it's value and they don't want to share that money making data.
