Governments dont have authority outside of their borders. They cannot force foreign ISP to give over the same information. Therefore they could only mirror nodes on IP addresses issued to companies in their country.

Governments will just get other governments to let them tap their fiber.

Conveniently, tor nodes are blocked by the Chinese and Russian governments.

Your post was 'Governments will just get other governments to let them tap their fiber.'

You have, conveniently, moved your point back to tor when I pointed out the folly of your statement.

The discussion is about tor. If you look at the countries where tor nodes are hosted fiber tapping is a relevant attack vector.

And I was pointing out that governments need to be on particularly friendly terms to achieve this, which doesnt make it a universal attack vector.

Here, have an example:
