Of course Rust is international. Windows is international; Linux is international; VMS might possibly not be international. You'd think DoD would be buying Talos systems as fast as Raptor could spit them out, given all the talk about wanting things to be made in the USA, but even those will likely have parts from dozens of countries. I don't want to knock Rep. Riggleman too hard, since knowing what Github is (let alone how to use it) puts him in the top one or two percent of Congress; but DoD is by no means a paragon of software development practice. It cares far too much about compliance for the sake of compliance and far too little about whether that compliance enables business objectives such as security or reliability. (And waivers are easy to obtain when compliance makes things better, but difficult when compliance makes things worse.)
