I never would never have expected them to be using China based engis on defence systems thats wild. No wonder they got cooked by salt typhoon.

They wanted to save costs, but cheap was expensive.

If a for profit firm does something illogical the answer for why is always that it pleased shareholders.

Great. Next can we stop using Microsoft for defense department computer systems?

What Microsoft did was absolutely inexcusable.

But, really, not just for this alone.

As for the DoD enlisting Microsoft, given the latter’s decades-spanning horrible reputation, I don’t know what to say.

Outsourcing your Defense Department to a foreign country is a choice. Not a smart choice, but a choice nonetheless.
