> Anyway, why would you be fine with such tools being used on non-US targets? Would you not be outraged if an equivalent tool was used on US targets by a non-US government?
This logic does not work.
Would you be okay getting shot if you broke into someone else's house? No. But other folks have a right to protect their houses.
The US has a right and constitutional duty to protect itself and it's citizens. You can argue about the best way to do that but it's a non-starter to say that we can only do the things that we would want other countries to do us.
Using that logic, we would get rid of all of our weapons.
