They must have already foiled dozens of unprecedented atrocities. If the intelligence community is good at its job, none of us will ever know the details of what could have happened. Nuclear blasts, bombings, poisoned food or water supplies, mass outages, etc. If I’m running the US intelligence apparatus, I wouldn’t want any prevented disasters being announced to the public. The enemy should have to guess who is messing up there plans. I think 9/11 was allowed to happen, given the massive benefit to the defense contractors (and all their suppliers/vendors) who made hundreds of billions off our occupation of the Middle East. And of course the Patriot Act which gave the intelligence community the legal ability to build massive data monitoring systems, with little to no privacy protections for world citizens.

[@davemccombs]

Not quite how any of that works

[@quinnjackson9252]

China can produce a fake iphone that is identical in appearance in every way. Hell, I could do it based on a KZbin video and I don't know the first thing about electronics. What they cannot do, however, is produce critical components that power the iphone. Advanced semiconductors and such. The knowhow for designing those components exists only within the United States, and the machines that produce them are only made by a single Sweedish company. Taiwan and South Korea are the only countries that produce the chips, which China is desperately trying to gain the capability to do. They cannot do that by stealing iphone designs, but they can do it by spying over time and learning how to make the advanced components themselves. That is why Joe Biden's Chips act was so damaging to China; the US cut off China's supply of advanced chips practically overnight, so anything that requires those components is now unable to properly function.

[@Joeyw-2203]

They know that we have tons and tons of oil for the future, drinkable water sources (Amazon River affluent, the Orinoco), gold mines, vanadium & tantalium deposits (for tanks and spacecraft), etc.. All within a 1.3 hours flight range from Miami, Florida. They're not fools. They did something similar in Nicaragua and Cuba. When I moved to Argentina, I was surprised to see that they also had a 100-year licence for a "Research base" in Neuquén province that no one had access to. Surprise: That province has one of the top 5 natural and shale gas reserves in the world, after Qatar's. They also have a lot of oil in that province (Vaca Muerta). It's land under Chinese sovereignty, access to the underground space below, only Chinese staff, no locals, no reports of the daily activites (no even a false agenda), no information, nothing.. God knows what they are doing there in the Patagonia. The same in Antarctica, they have private bases there. If there is a war against China one day (let's hope there's not), the whole world will take a huge surprise across ALL continents about what the Chinese have been doing so rapidly and so massively since the early 2000s. Technology, land, espionage, arms, natural resources, debt to collect, dependency of the whole world for their manufacturing, machines, final products, etc. It'll be 100 times worse than Russia's push back with oil against Western sanctions without firing a single nuclear warhead.
