So Russia today is the same Soviet Russia during the Cold War? Ok. Lol. I feel like any hardware that isn't made in Taiwan or the U.S. is a good candidate to be shat on by every tinfoil hat lunatic on this forum.
This thread's going to shit. I'm out.
I would like to use my time and kindly remind you that certain guy named Putin, which is effectively one and only ruler of RU was KGB operative for 16 years.
And while USA government on the surface looks normal, its just puppets for their very extensive deep state. Which apart previous US president wasnt ever kept in check, but rather supported by whoever had seat of power at that time.
China is ruled by hardcore communist who dreams about at least financial world supremacy, if not regular.
Everyone spies when they can. And current status is probably even worse than Cold War.
While illusion of our "modern" world is currently relatively safe, there is for many years now always some proxy war somewhere. Given dear leaders of so called "civilization" most of the time support these activities its more or less matter of time before it goes horribly wrong somewhere and our safe world will be definitely unsafe. At least if someone decides for nuclear strike it wont take long till end. Enough arsenal on this planet to kill everything on it many times.
Problem isnt that RU is more or less same as CCCP, but mankind itself is same.
But Im going waay off topic. Also my original note about spy chips was pretty much just joke. Maybe I will add some smile faces next time. Or at least /s ..
