Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a moderate Republican, slammed President Trump’s decision to fire the director of the National Security Agency (NSA) and his top deputy after demands from far-right influencer Laura Loomer, saying Sunday that China and Russia are “laughing at us” after that decision.

“I will tell you, this puts us back. It hurts us,” Bacon said in an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.”

Somehow I don’t think shuttering the NSA at the dawn of quantum encryption era is a wise move for American interests, domestic or abroad.

You are under the mistaken impression that I give a fuck about "America's interests"

I hate this fucking place. And I'm glad I get to live long enough to see it fall. We'll be irrelevant in a few years. Like post-brexit England.

Can't trust us on any timetable longer than 4 years. The whole world rightfully hates us for nearly a century of warmongering and aggression. And that was before Chump's first term. His lunacy has just been nails in the coffin.

Some of us are old enough to remember 9/11 and know that giving up on "American interests" in the way they are will mean the violent deaths of thousands of innocent people.

You can be mad at our government, but maybe you should think about your fellow humans.

Earth Science. 2nd period. 9th grade.

Don't talk about 9/11 to me removed. I remember it all. The day of and all the authoritarian overreach and idiot racism afterwards. "Nothing to hide, nothing to fear" on signs at fucking Walmart. Sihks being murdered in the street by ignorant fuckwits. All of it.

The US is currently complicit on the genocide of hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza (counting before Oct 7th, and counting deaths to malnutrition and illness too). Anyway, thousands of innocents die in the US from police violence anyway, you just don't care because they're mostly not white.

I am aware.

What's your fucking point? We should cripple our defense and intelligence agencies because cops kill people?

[-] AES_Enjoyer@reddthat.com 0 points 1 year ago

My point is maybe stop murdering your own people and people in other countries first, and then worry about "Gyna and Rusha"

You brought up the american interests, not me. the american interests ARE murder. The world order would be better off without them

American defensive interests. Domestic.

You know, protecting our infrastructure from attack? Cybersecurity?
