Oh yah, Russia was getting a lot of its Oil Refinery software by piracy, so we set up some devilish code, made sure they got it, and when it was used it caused some major damage to their network. It worked not only because it damaged some of their oil refining infrastructure, but because they could no longer trust the pirated software they would get to be kosher.
Clinton did it with the Chinese too. What all the righty's claim to be 'selling military secrets', was really a two part strategy. Since it was a straight deal, we couldn't sell them faulty info. But, the thing is, the Chinese were going to get the tech anyways, regardless. Wether they eventually developed it themselves. or they bought it from Russia or another state with missile tech. So, by making sure they bought and used some of our own older tech, we now know exactly what they have, and more importantly how to destroy it.
It works for China, because they aint stupid either. Its a way to say to the States, "hey, we no want fight, we buy from you".
Its all standard spy and espionage stuff. Things like this have been going on since man first started warring each other.
Oh and by the way, this story with Bush selling stuff to Iran has been around since 2001. Anyone with half a brain knew we were selling em faulty stuff. If I knew, then without a doubt the Iranians already knew as well.
