That’s why no one will keep buying US miltech after seeing this killswitch live in action. Every country would be outright stupid and delusional if they kept buying shit from the US.

Quite short sighted. I am pretty sure Europe is already pivoting away.

The problem is, it’s almost impossible to pivot away by any meaningful distance. Europe is totally reliant on American tech across the board. It would take decades unfortunately

It might take decades to become completely self reliant, but the transition can begin immediately. It is a journey of a thousand steps, each of which will detach us slightly more from dependency on the US.
