re: #401 Lupin
Personally what I see or hear about seems, well, kind of irreversible. New channels are being created, information-sharing is being withheld or withdrawn. Itβll be hard to reboot to previous state.
Certainly there will be damage to our relationships with other nations; given time they can be rebuilt.
A more wary relationship with our government might actually be a good thing. I am not bashing our allies here, but perhaps they were simply too trusting of our good nature. Like any nation, that can change quickly.
