Hm maybe it is to protect against China/Russia/Iran/NK stealing our military secrets, you know those ones that protect you and your family from being absorbed into an authoritarian system where you have zero voting rights?
- fmajid 6y agoThey can steal our secrets because the NSA couldn’t keep its own Crown Jewels secret, they were leaked by Shadow Brokers and subsequently used by the US’ enemies to infiltrate US civilian systems. In a very real sense, we would be safer against the Russians if the NSA didn’t exist.
- notsureaboutpg 6y agoWhy is Iran lumped in with the others? They have had fair and free elections for years, certified by int'l watchdogs. Maybe people don't like the selection process (which weeds out many eligible candidates) but most democracies have a similar process which is itself not democratic.
