Looks like Russia won the ideological war and will be exporting authoritarianism to the globe.

The main thing to remember about authoritarians is that none have ever been documented to be impervious to small pieces of metal moving at high speed.

This isn't a nationalist idea .... the oligarchs have won and are exporting authoritarianism to the globe. Most or the majority of people everywhere just want to have a peaceful life whether they are in the US, Russian, China or anywhere on the globe ... it's oligarchs and wealthy morons that think they can manipulate everyone, everywhere all the time and allow them to become rulers of the universe.

It's too soon to say conclusively that they all aren't though, additional testing is required.

That is being tested right now.

Note to self: before becoming dictator, develop natural immunity to small arms fire. Begin with BB gun?

Trump is a Russian asset and the Kremlin dictates U.S. policy.

That encryption is not impenetrable, however, and the Google Threat Intelligence Group warned just last month of "increasing efforts from several Russia state-aligned threat actors to compromise Signal Messenger accounts used by individuals of interest to Russia's intelligence services."
This is somewhat disingenuous. Signal can't be directly cracked. Only access to the phone directly or via mirroring can expose it. The article somewhat explains this.
I am in no way whatsoever excusing the actions of these douche-chalupas. I prefer accuracy in my reporting, though. That said, Witkoff in Russia may as well have been a direct line to Putin.

It’s not looking good, bruh.

As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.

Independently verifiable detail number 28543 showing that Trump and everyone he has appointed are unfit for office, and that no one who voted for him will ever care about, and from which no consequences will ever flow.

This seems a bit too nitpicky tbh.
The author is correct, Signal is not "perfect", because the weakest link is always the endpoint device and the end user. Which is kind of the whole point of this article; The issue is not that Signal was used, as it's reasonably secure, it's that the people using it are not secure at all. -

may as well have been a direct line to Putin.
Was Mr Putin over his shoulder at the crucial moment, or just a state-run high-def camera?

I agree and said as much in my last comment. But the way the article presented it made it feel like there is a clear and present danger from Chinese and Russian threat actors against the protocol.

The most uncrackable encryption can be defeated by Steven Witkoff sitting on Putin's lap while reading the messages.
