GPS 'Vulnerabilities' Are Only For Some Nations
The Hill recently sounded the alarm about America's supposed unpreparedness for a GPS attack, detailing how a disruption could cripple everything from banking to military operations. The article paints a picture of a nation reliant on a fragile system, susceptible to jamming or spoofing by nefarious state actors. Allegedly, entire sectors could grind to a halt, leaving the world's superpower

In 2011, during the NATO intervention in Libya, the alliance openly admitted to jamming Libyan government communications, effectively blinding their defense systems. This wasn't a hypothetical threat; it was a
proven tactic. We are meant to believe that what's a legitimate defensive or offensive tactic for one nation is an existential threat when aimed at the other side. One might wonder why the mainstream press frames this issue as a novel threat, rather than a predictable consequence of a long-established strategic playbook. It's a double standard, pure and simple.

This narrative serves to justify increased military budgets and technological arms races, rather than promoting genuine digital
