> If the US or any other country had no military, ANY country could invade it

Please explain what would happen if the US had no military and Andorra decided to invade?

Which makes it useless to protect against this type of scam. The script will just change from "I'll exploit my current mark" to "I'll prepare my current mark to be vulnerable and then sell it on".

Everybody owns them except the US voters.

You are misrepresenting the premise. The premise is "if you found a bug with a COTS toolkit, others using the same toolkit may also find this bug easily". The second assumption is that many people are using the same COTS toolkit, which seems uncontested in my eyes as there's only a handful models in wide circulation.

Over what time interval?

"Every neighbourhood" is still a local problem, and can be solved locally. A grenade-lobbing device in australia can not reach 1 Microsoft Way, Redmond with multiple hits per second, nor do we have the resources to produce such artillery at the rate of multiple per second. Any analogy that you want to extend into the real world has to acknowledge these real-world limitations in more than just a footnote, or it's not a useful simile.

How does that affect the uptime of their wallet?

You're not protecting democracy either by letting people vote on a party that aims to undermine said democracy.

I don't think tux was ever included in the mainline kernel. It was closer to a proof-of-concept than a serious http server alternative.

It is nonsensical to ask someone to define the terms they're using?

I see you willfully ignored my second question. Let me guess, the bogeymen you're referring to include the ones eating the cats and dogs, but exclude the ones eating the babies? If you want to be heard, it would benefit you to make an actual coherent argument instead of just some vapid handwaving.
