So could this be done maliciously? I’m just wondering about the Super Tuesday timing.

Hmm, something happened globally -- must be about the US!

There are 8 billion people in the world and only 300m people in the US but...

So? What does that matter, as long as it impacts the ability of poll watchers and legal support to communicate about illegal manipulation?

Yep, it's definitely about the US.

You dont think who becomes POTUS will effect your country? You've blasted right past being a curmudgeon who doesn't like the US and moved into the territory of troll.

IMO, it is a stretch to claim primary elections as the motive for this outage, but pretending you are entirely aloof and unaffected by US presidential elections is absurd. We get it, you hate the US.

Nobody said anything about US politics not affecting other countries. Of course the dysfunction in the US affects everybody. But, it goes both ways. You don't think events in Europe, India or China affect the US? You're ignoring South America and Africa entirely?

Look at how a small group of rebels in Yemen is having a massive impact on shipping worldwide.

This US-centric view that this worldwide outage is automatically due to US politics is just ridiculous, and you should be embarrassed.

I should be embarrassed that another commenter thinks its related to the elections? Why? It wasn't my idea and my only mention of it was to say I think it unlikely. Go be churlish somewhere else. I'll longer see your replies.

I started ignoring them when they willfully disregarded my explanation in order to reiterate the same misunderstanding they'd already made, simply pointing at text and saying, effectively, "it means what I say it means". They have their view and nothing you or I can say will ever change it. Best to just ignore that type
