Click through, and you'll find a more expensive version that is shipped to the US. It's called TariffBox.

We should make an American version and not allow it for sale anywhere else but the US.

You should make the NSA not function anywhere but within the US too, while you're at it.

Their charter is literally to spy on everyone outside the US.

You might as well ask the SVR/GRU to stick to snooping on Russians.

Their charter is to spy on the entire planet.

Nobody should be okay with that.

And yet every major country has an agency whose charter it is to do it.

And really, in that kind of situation, do they really have a choice?

Schoolyard bully justifications do not a great nation make. Especially when that nation is the worlds #1 committer of human rights abuses and supporter of genocide^Wmass murder at heinous scale.

If you aren’t spying, you’re BEING spied on. Germany of all places shouldn’t be claiming any moral high ground on mass murder and human rights abuses.

Germany is a modern-day contributor to the mass violations of human rights, war crimes, and human rights abuses of the Western hemisphere, as a lackey state of the USA.
