  Probably not. The goal isn’t to sell American routers.

  The goal is to sell routers to Americans with government back doors built-in.

  Any companies with approval will be providing that back door.

    There is also the possibility that Pumpkin Harkonnen just wants some ‘donations’ to provide individual exceptions to brands.

    That’s just not true. Bigotry and conspiracy theories are also produced there, and I read they’re among the top exporters.

      They want you to think this but most Made in the USA consoiracies are just imports from Russia and are actually “Assembled in the USA.”

      But market research shows the Idiots prefer the “Made in the USA” branding.
