It isn’t short sighted once you learn the reason is to encourage collapse. Project 2025 anyone?

I disagree. It's not about P25, it's about shielding oneself and friendly tech bros from any investigation and responsibility for leaking or willfullty trading data. This agency was a threat to Muskie and Zuckie-chan, so it was put down.
Collapse and then what
Then they can do everything they would like to do, shoot people on sight etc
The tech bros want literal kingdoms. The collapse of the US will enable them to carve themselves out ones.
A good chunk of them think the rapture is going to happen any day now.
Profit
I'm convinced Trump is a gene stealer cultist variant it explains a f#@! Ton. Like everything.
It's only "horribly shortsighted" if you're not looking to sell backdoors to US intelligence/Security/infrastructure to foreign powers. No doubt this is a 1st step before trying to reform that "cyber security" thing with Vlad again, only maybe this time it's done on the DL.
Edit - Autocorrect, why can't we be friends?
Should I be learning Russian or Mandarin? Which country is Trump selling us out to?
Yes
Something tells me learning Spanish now would be a waste of time unless you want to ex-pat to Mexico or España.
Both, and more
Bought and paid for by a generous donation from a foreign national.
Fucking Trump, shitty every day.
I know why they're doing this but I'm really hoping it bites them in the ass.
...What ever happened to Anonymous?
I mean, if there are altruistic hackers attempting some kind of cyber-coup, I'd expect we wouldn't hear much about it until it happens.
