I believe the word you are looking for is "vassal". There are no more American allies. An ally is assumed to have some degree of independence and usually has equal status. A vassal, on the other hand, is one who never disagrees and always does as they are told. Kind of like that person we all know at work who is a complete idiot and yet somehow is always the boss's favorite and always gets promoted. That isn't the boss' friend - that IS your boss and if you cross him/her/it, you will find out pretty sharpish who is going to be transferred/fired. Hint - it's not them.
And still absolutely nobody has asked themselves how Turkey happened to end up with audio recordings of the Kashoggi murder... While everyone was busy saying "oh dear that's terrible", I was thinking "lol they're going to have to change the bugs in the Saudi consulate now".
There could be all that stuff in products from other countries, too. Heck, even American products could have these things. Maybe America should just stop trading with everyone and jump incestuously in bed with itself, and hope its own manufacturers are completely honest and transparent, just as they have turned out to be so far in history...
Could indeed... Or maybe you should do it the old fashioned way, and actually find the person guilty before executing them.
I don't think you understand what the word "backed" means.
Software as a series of instructions followed by computers, does not "back" anything any more than a cookbook backs food. Consensus can "back" something, but since the majority of people don't own or want bitcoin (evidenced by its spectacular failure), consensus doesn't back bitcoin at all. And soldiers of fortune, quite by definition, back the highest bidder.
On the other hand the US laws are very real, the police forces are constantly and actively seeking law breakers and cushy little economic crimes like money laundering, fraud and tax evasion where they might be able to do a little civil asset forfeiture and benefit directly tend to draw a lot more attention than those crimes where officers won't gain much more than a pat on the back and a "job well done" and shot for their efforts; so they are always looking. Courts are constantly processing new criminals. The US Army (and other more subtle branches of the US government) are all over the world, acting as the long arm of the US government. And finally, as the Kim Dotcom and more recently the Huawei thing clearly demonstrates, both of them cases where the US government had no jurisdiction and no legal right to do what it did and yet convinced other countries to arrest individuals even though no local laws had been broken: the law is whatever the US government decides it to be.
Sure. Tell me about how impressed I should be with blockchain...
What is written on your money is not legally binding to either party, it's just some stuff the US Treasury puts on our bills.
OK, from now on I am accepting all your $100's as $1 bills. The denomination is not legally binding to either party, it's just some stuff the US Treasury puts on our bills. Internet lawyers, for fuck's sake...
Magic and fairies. Actually the registrar should reply to anyone who sends a takedown request with a bill for the takedown. Start at what, $5000? No no we will comply and take it down, but first we have to verify and to do that we need to hire staff, so here's the bill. If there's infringing material it will be down in a month or so...
That's why science depends on people being able to reproduce experiments. A single study is meaningless. It's science, not religion. If I can't reproduce your results the conclusion is you're full of shit and/or your study was flawed.
Or you know, just "If you want to do business in the U.S., you must comply with U.S. laws and regulations."
ie. don't base your business in the US. Complying with US laws and regulations eats into profit margins. Why do you think all this outsourcing stuff happens in the first place?
Yeah I could do the same thing with water and valves, with the closed valves "encouraging" the water to flow elsewhere and the open valves "encouraging" the water to flow in that section and look, I just invented the Traveling Salesman Problem solving puddle.

3. Back doors are already being used for data snooping.
Hell, FRONT doors are already being used for data snooping. Well you clicked "I agree", right?
"could"

Montreal in 1989 is highly relevant.
Probably caused by a geomagnetic storm. Not a coincidence we just entered an area with fast moving solar wind on the 28th.
Physical currency is backed by governments, laws, courts, police forces and, as a last resort, an army.
It also very much depends on how you define attack. I would rather like to see the precise definition before rushing to any judgement.
As many as it takes to abuse you

Launched from India, where the FCC has no jurisdiction, into space, where the FCC has no jurisdiction. Are they actually going to pay this?
You can access them at any time*. For free*. For now.
* Subject to changes in the terms and provisions as outlined in section 374 Paragraph J subparagraph 2 of the EULA you agreed to.
He was a gifted MARKETER. So good at it that he makes you think "his designs" are "innovative" and "desirable".
Your life is still meaningless. Only now you're slaving to pay off all the Apple stuff you put on your credit cards.
No, Oracle has been the worse thing that has ever happened to tech.
I do it all the time but I tend to pick authors at random and if I like them, I'll look for more/all of their books.
Nothing meaningful.
The beneficiaries of Steve Jobs' estate would disagree.

I can't seem to remember the last time I had an existential crisis over turning off my lights.
But it's just "metadata" lol
