(so several people have independently written in saying the answer to \u201cif someone solicited you to spy, who would you even turn them in to\u201d is \u201cif you had access to anything worth spying on there\u2019d be a security apparatus affiliated with that\u201d, which doesn\u2019t address the \u201880s comedy premise where the Russkies want you to, say, sit on your porch under an airbase flightpath and count the jets coming and going for many ruble, but fair)

(an amusing thing about this whole exercise is that I wondered out loud\u00a0\u201chuh, what if the Russians tried to flip me\u201d and in response multiple acquaintances volunteered the previously unknown info that they were involved in NatSec-adjacent roles and this is how they set up their defenses)
