    We have this really great approach to security where we allow the adversary to infiltrate a huge portion of our infrastructure for years and at many different levels, and then we say “hm, maybe we shouldn’t be allowing this?”

      Almost like it has less to do with security and more to do with securitization of economic competition.

      Well its just natural for coubtries to do this at this point when they dont like each other

      In an off topic, I often prefer a open hardware router like raspberry pi router as it gives me control! For me it’s safer to use as documentation is open like pfsense and openwrt.

          There’s already OpenWrt for Pi. All you need is to add a switch or a USB ethernet adapter.
