I think it was President Wilson who said that Gentlemen don’t spy on Gentlemen.

Actually, it was the Secretary of State, Henry Stimson, who made this comment in 1929 when he found out that the U.S. was engaging in cryptanalysis (breaking codes) of other nations' secret radio transmissions.

As a result, the signal intelligence unit(s)of the US govt. was closed down. But around the time World War II started, it was brought back. That's how, for example, the USN broke the Japanese diplomatic code. Stimson was clearly misguided.

Vice President Kamala Harris confirmed that this policy has the primary purpose of setting an example to other countries.

Oh, swell. I'm pretty sure Xi and Putin will be all ashamed and stop their own programs immediately, because, you know, Grifter Joe is such a great guy and all. Wonder when he'll send them the launch codes to show them how much he trusts them?

This magnanimous court jester of goodwill and idiocy fits right into the 0bama end of making anti-sat missiles.

Russia and especially China will fall right in line with Iran bringing up it up our rear.

Um…why would we do this? This would simply cede the space theatre to China.

You answered your own question.

Did the Dizzy Camelass broad provide the Red Chinese and Russki with all the information about what we had done so far? If you voted for these two retarded maggots, I despise you for what you’ve done to America.

“the USN broke the Japanese diplomatic code.”

Lol.

The British broke it first (before Pearl Harbor).

Churchill got to decide what we knew and when we knew it.

Think about what that meant.
