Tbh from a risk point it astounds me the defence sector over the last 30 years with the oodles of money poured into it have failed so heavily at protecting nation state positions. We have traditionally wealthy stable nations states being crumpled by some trade deals. Lol imagine propping your entire way of life up based on the agreement with your competition thay they will fuel your success and requirements.... Comes across as pure madness from anyone with the slightest hint of risk aversion when you take a step back and look at it.
