The new machines are 2-3 stories tall, require an Airbus to transport, have complexity on par with the worlds largest particle accelerators, if not more complex

The new machines are 2-3 stories tall, require an Airbus to transport, have complexity on par with the worlds largest particle accelerators, if not more complex. Because of this, the supply chains are highly intertwined no one country and can isolate that supply chain. The Dutch can't build it without our contributions, and neither could we without theirs. Lots of moving parts here literally and figuratively.
