As a committed free trader I'll have you know that it's not necessarily the weapon systems being produced by foreigners that scare me, it's the communications equipment that should be the our main concern. It scares the hell out of me that someone will one day engineer a communications device that will "inadvertently" broadcast its crypto fills.
Oh, and we have enough surplus of weapon systems and rolling-assets to sustain us through heavy losses, which would buy America enough time to divert its resources back to a manufacturing phase, if needed.

When triggered by a foreign power satellite. Not too hard to arrange, I suppose.
