You've got to go up the chain - protect steelmaking, too. And ultimately, where does the iron ore come from?
Not saying you're wrong (idk either way), saying that to do it right is a big pivot.
- lb1lf 11mo agoThat is a fair point, but do keep in mind that the lower in the stack you come, the more options for sourcing you (generally) have. Say, those fancy chips going into the ship's targeting radar may all be designed in a country or two, fabbed in Taiwan using Dutch equipment, whereas the steel you construct the hull with can come from anywhere - at my employer we mostly bought steel from Eastern Ukraine until a couple of years ago; after a brief hiccup we now get it from Turkey and Brazil, mostly - but China, South Korea, Germany or India, for instance, can supply it, too.
