The US is declaring open war on anyone but them and their chosen obedient vassals controlling the commanding heights of technology.
The imperial core will enjoy the best, everyone else will be artificially stifled and slowed to keep them lower than the west on the ladder and enemies of the west will find trying to use western tech extremely stifling, expensive, and prohibitive.
I do like how Greenland, the US's loyal arctic intercept, radar, and operations base is yellow. Shows you all of Trump's bluster and talk about it has deeper roots in at least a desire for more control.
And as usual the tech bourgeoisie wail but do nothing. Empire is more important than short-term tech profits or benefits to the financial capitalists and the continuing march of these restrictions I think shows the way the winds are blowing. Anyone here seriously hoping that wall street's greed will restrain the west against China, BRICS, etc is clearly mistaken. The long-term thinkers are in charge, the hatches are battened down, it's time for cold war 2.0, the empire draws all strength to itself, all its forces, all its might, slowly winding down global free trade to protect the capitalists but still forcing them to take a loss and for what? To play for it all, to play for another century of dominance, to bet on a few decades of intense sanctions, blockade, and all the dirty tricks of the CIA to bring down their enemies and give the US a "new American century" with exploitation of all that now defy them their prize in victory and their assured destruction and implosion their prize for failure.
