I would never admit this to my neighbors. We’d have to move.

Grumble grumble

Guess you could argue that volt only matters if activated whereas salt matters right now (God these terms are maddening)

Either way, I still think that focussing on ripping out whatever remains of Chinese infrastructure as the top priority response to salt flies in the face of the evidence about it

Also think salt, whilst important, is spying. Volt is more strategically significant as it’s a precursor to the disruption of civilian CNI, so way more serious & unlike salt a major departure from (a) norms & (b) previous Chinese ops

Absolutely - it’s salt & the naming are silly & unhelpful (I also posted about that!).

I do wonder though if this is a distraction: afaik from the publicly available info Salt wasn’t primarily due to Chinese kit but weaknesses in US (& other western) built, US operated infrastructure 1/2

For the sake of the special relationship I’ll refrain.

I could make a British cuisine joke but I won’t.
