hell yeah he knows.
Bad to the Bone Devin likely gave him a heads up.
Maybe told him to grow a beard to help him conceal what he knows…

One of the most popular chat apps in the US is actually a foreign spy tool
The United Arab Emirates is using one of the most popular messaging apps in the United States to track the conversations, locations, and interactions of all of the app’s users.
The app ToTok became one of the most downloaded messaging apps in the U.S. last week on both Apple and Google’s app store. The app, sold as a safe and secure way to communicate, is being used by the U.A.E. to spy on its own people and others around the world, according to the New York Times.
ToTok is most popular in the U.A.E., but also serves millions of users in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America. The company that created ToTok, Breej Holding, is believed to be a front group for an Abu Dhabi-based hacking firm called DarkMatter. The firm employees ex-cyberintelligence employees from the Emirates, Israel, and the U.S. National Security Agency.
Google and Apple have pledged to look into the popular app. Google removed it from its store on Thursday, and Apple followed suit on Friday.
ToTok is a close copy of a Chinese app called YeeCall but adapted for a different audience, according to an analysis by a former NSA hacker.

China and India: The Cold War No One Is Watching
Key Point: China's ability to manufucture weaponry is much more efficient and advanced than India's.
“Rich nation, strong army,” was the adage that drove Japanese modernization – both civilian and military – in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today it is a rallying cry for other Asian countries seeking great-nation status. A corollary to this saying might be that great nations have great arms industries.
China and India share this outsized ambition to be a “great power” in Asia, if not the most powerful. The two countries have, respectively, the largest and second-largest militaries in Asia, as well as the highest and second-highest defense budgets. And both have huge domestic defense industries, dedicated to providing their armed forces with the best weapons possible.
Home-grown armaments and nationalism go hand-in-hand in both China and India. A country cannot consider itself to be capable of great-nation status, so the argument goes, if one’s military is dependent on foreign suppliers for its weapons. Outside sources are always subject to embargoes or other restrictions, and overseas sellers are usually loath to part with their best and most advanced military technologies.
Finally, as a matter of pride, a great power cannot conceive of itself parading another country’s military equipment. The priority, therefore, is always on securing a domestic source of advanced weaponry, as quickly as possible.

Could be part of the reason the domestic enemies in Congress want to provide more Visas to India… which would help India (pressure on China).
Slightly conflicted…
