There is also insatiable demand for nuclear weapons, but if a private company from the US started selling them to random dictatorships, yes, I would blame them.

Poland isn’t a dictatorship, it’s an EU member state and a member of NATO.

Also let’s not compare malware/spyware to nuclear weapons.

Poland can get their hands on any weapon or controlled technology they pretty much want.

Pegasus is notoriously sold to more than 40 countries worldwide, among them a fair share of dictatorships: Saudi Arabia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, (Hungary?), Bahrain, Russia...

You truly have some bias in your definition of dictatorship.

That would be an argument if we weren’t selling weapons to those countries all the fucking time.

It wasn’t sold to neither Russia or Belarus, and the rest are countries that we sell weapons too all the time.

And I find it laughable that you out Hungary as a dictatorship it’s an EU member and a NATO member.
