It’s not that difficult. In response to the article, you wrote “They need it more than we do.”
Who did you mean by “they”?
What did you mean by “it”?
You wrote those words, so I presume you know what you meant.
Ok this stuff is not really worth getting into but the ‘it’ refers to the technology the Russians seem to be better at. They need it because like the Stasi they need to control communications more.
The truth will set you free.
