Just a small part of the biggest spy network ever invented, which is woven into practically all software and tech infrastructure we use in the West and backed by large corporations with ties to that small country.

So if a company in country A sells military arms to country B, country B is now part of country A's military network. Is that how this works now?
It certainly has some explanatory power so depending on what you're trying to understand about these hypothetical entities, yes.
Works now? Thats how a customer base works.
A customer base means you are part of their military network? Really?
I have no idea what you're trying to say. The network of vendors to the military is part of the military network.
Yes.
Surprised they allowed a zero click exploit to be exposed for what appears to be low value targets.
That means they have a big bin of zero click exploit ready for use. This one was probably getting old so someone finding it wouldn't mean much.
And even when said small country are gifted "defense" technology, they go and sell it to the gifter's (supposed) enemies.
Why do you need enemies with such "friends".
Western state agencies and mid-tier bootleg spyware vendors are neutral at best and antagonists overall. At best, bootleg spyware vendors drop exploits which agencies can reverse and use for their own purposes. But in general, these vendors bring unwanted attention and burn exploits which the state agencies would like to use. These are not part of a global conspiracy, they are competing groups with the same goals.

Didn't you know you also have space lasers? Anyone can be instantly vaporized at any point on Earth.
A joke from 1930's Nazi Germany:
"Two Jews are sitting on a bench in Nazi Germany. One of them is reading the local Yiddish newspaper. The other is reading Der Sturmer, a Nazi propaganda paper. The former says to the latter, “Why on earth would you read that antisemitic drek?” The other replies, “Well, when I read the local paper, we are a poor and battered people who suffer in ghettos, pogroms, and all manner of tragedies. But when I read Der Sturmer, we run the banks, the governments, the whole world – life is great!” "
I got a feeling things are going to get really ugly soon, dejavu germany in 1930 but with more powerful propaganda tools.
Israelis are getting oppressed, but it's arabs who do the dieing.

They're the same picture. Most states are indistinguishable from terrorist gangs.

Israel is powerful, but also has powerful enemies. That's entirely consistent and happens to be entirely true.
And yes, Israel is a tiny country, both compared to almost all its enemies, and just objectively - it's one of the smallest countries in the world.
