US netcentric warfare costs will go up as NATO EU members and other nations very aware of US ability to shutdown weapon capabilities. In essence, the lack of trust towards allies by the US will have consequences in trust to US and US weapon systems that are highly networked.

But thanks to Trump’s toddler-tier tariffs? Canceled. Blocked by MAGA economic illiteracy.
So where are the $ going now?
Straight into Euro stocks.

The thing about veering wildly between policy positions, favouring and then discarding a new maverick advisor each week, and using contradictory justifications at every turn, is that even if one particular pivot is in the direction of sanity, chaos is the constant.
