Yellow Submarined

Yoo-Hoo! Does the name "Silicon Valley" ring any bells?
  Last year, the U.S. Navy bought 59,000 microchips for use in everything from missiles to transponders and all of them turned out to be counterfeits from China.

Wired reports the chips weren’t only low-quality fakes, they had been made with a “back-door” and could have been remotely shut down at any time.

If left undiscovered the result could have rendered useless U.S. missiles and killed the signal from aircraft that tells everyone whether it’s friend or foe ... Business Insider via apostrophe

Isn't putting a back door in the chip a declaration of war? It would have to be the ChiCom Government doing it.

The Clinton-comm admin. gave them the technology. Treason has many faces.

Maybe because the military knows that Intel is back-dooring their chips as well. I heard that many years ago, so that we can sabotage the Chi-coms or any other commie bastidd when the war got hot.

Turing word: mogwor. Shouldn't that be wogwar?
