    Hey, in a few more years (honestly, with the rate this is going probably more like a decade) the Yanks will finally be able to slap “Made in America 🇺🇸” on the chips they use in their missile’s guidance systems! A huge win for the military industrial complex!

      I don’t think the military cares too much about the nationalism of this. They care more about the continuation of semiconductor supremacy at the expense of Taiwanese people lol

          The whole thing is ran by the weapons companies though. Do you think the people at the Pentagon writing these contracts can’t figure out that 50k for waste bin is a scam? Of course they know, they’re in on it.

          And if some dipshit in Procurement happened to grow sentimental for good ol’ patriotism or whatever, the military will suddenly decide they care about war crimes or sexual assault and court martial him on the spot. If they don’t just whack him
