    The USSR collapsed because they invested in weapons and not civilian infrastructure. This is another space race, another SDI.

    Putin doesn’t control Trump but the US controls EU politicians. The US don’t need nukes to influence Europe. Wasting engineers on those nukes prevents them from developing better batteries and other critical infrastructure and prevents the population from demanding an end to the more direct influence.

    The EU doesn’t produce CPUs or memory. That’s a much bigger threat.
