Senate Effort to Ban Russian Software on US Military Systems

[Skybird]

Of course you do not want a Russian cmpany providing software for your vital data infrastructure in the military.

You also do not want Chinese chips in your weapons, may they be explcitly or implcitly included.

I add you also do not want Apple, Google and Microsoft providing you with software and operation systems in your critical infrastructure. Not as a non-American and not as an American party. Nor do you want to use business company services falling under American legislation and having their servers in the US or in states where the US have easy access.

China has forced Microsoft that if they want to keep their access to the Chinese market they had to open their secret Windows source code so that the Chinese can pick Windows apart and extract those parts making Windows prone to American attacks. You get a heavily Chinese-modified Windows only in China, legally. More convincing it would have been from their POV if they would ban American software completely.

Russian state and military still order and buy increasing numbers of mechanical type writers since some years. Westerners laughed about this and called it paranoia at first. Now, some years later, the laughing has fallen silent.
