    Would be nice to see global sanctions against the US. Not realistic, but I hope all countries are moving towards significantly reducing American reliance. It’ll be a slow process, but needs to be done.

      Honestly sanctions agains companies like these that can be weaponized politically sounds very reasonable.

      They are national security threat in the true meaning of the word.
