But the open source options out of china are forbidden because being spied by china is evil while being spied by USA is good… usual free market lovers dropping it whenever.

Err so the American DoD — generally always concerned about supply chain considerations — prefers American models? And that’s surprising or problematic to you?

This is a weird conversation. At first you were concerned about prices and now you’re railing about the US Navy not using Chinese models. What’s your problem here?
