    Interesting wording there, “foreign adversary controlled”, goes a long way to protect all the companies that are based in tax havens, or controlled by foreign allies, like Saudi Arabia or Israel

      In a democracy one of the very most important choices that must be made by citizens is what other nations are considered allies or an enemies.

      The funny thing is that US citizens have absolutely zero control over who the government decides is our enemy or ally. That aspect of government is entirely partitioned off as separate from the “democracy”, as if the foreign policy element of our government was itself a foreign nation we have no control over.

      While we are on the topic, fuck the government of Saudi Arabia and Israel, both governments are horrendously violent.
