Is this really a surprise to anyone? If there’s anything you can rely on Western capitalism for, it’s unbridled, greed and corruption. Of course they’re gonna sell their top secret technology to the enemy. They need their 875th yacht! In fact, it’s actually seen as a fatal weakness. If you don’t leverage your access for as much corrupt profiteering privilege as you possibly can in the time you have it.

The dismantling of democracy and the widespread economic vampirism towards the middle and lower class is simply the lubricant they use to masturbate themselves into whatever the hell they think they’re gonna get from all of this.

@floo @Sunshine You know, it strikes me as being extraordinarily naive in a sense to even try to impose sanctions on these things. It is impossible to regulate this kind of commerce in world trade any longer. People just do not pay attention to those restrictions, or if they do, it is only to devise methods by which to evade them. It doesn't seem to be worth doing in many respects. Unless you could make them inoperable by specified entities or in certain applications, I don't have an answer.
