Because vulnerability management has nothing to do with national security, right?

    wouldn’t this also make us incredibly more vulnerable to China and any other country?

    Yes, which is why Putin told Trump to do it.

      I’m just wondering how Trump squares an explanation for this with the fact that we’re in a technology war with China. Why would we make ourselves more vulnerable to them?

      I guess to clarify, it seems easier for Trump to make the argument to his base that everything he does to make us more vulnerable to Russia shouldn’t really be a big deal bc he has so much respect and trust for Putin.

      Most people (myself included) don’t really know about this program, but if cutting funding makes us more vulnerable to China and other bad actors, it seems like a point more Americans should be made aware of.

        I think it’s because he’s a bigoted moron as well and believes that anything the government spends money on that doesn’t either directly enrich the oligarchs or suppress non-white cis males is bad.
