It is insane to think that every country must have their fully end to end supply chains. Italy doesn't need to manufacture microprocessors despite the backdoors that Intel tries to introduce.
- jaywalk 7y agoNo, Italy doesn't need to manufacture microprocessors. But Italy should be able to source microprocessors from more than one country.
- fnord123 7y agoAbsolutely. But toss1 was saying something else. Likely from an Imperial US perspective.
- toss1 7y agoI didn't say fully end-to-end supply chains, and certainly not for every country, but major powers should at least maintain sources for critical components/elements within their own borders or those of close longstanding allies.
