You seem to assume our president and its government act with intelligence and in the interest of our country. You could not be any further from the truth.

I certainly don't assume that.

I expect your elites to operate with the same selfish motivations as ours. That includes wanting to exploit the situation in order to utilize public funds to grow a private tech sector where they stand to profit immensely.

They will also want to protect themselves personally from continuing to be predated on by their elite counterparts in the US who utilize this technological dependency for spying and coercive tactics.
