> I said it before and I say it again: If openly bribing a crony gov to cancel your competitor is now the de-facto standard of making business in the US, I don't see how any rational investor could still see US companies as a secure investment.

Arguably large parts of the market in the US have been irrational and largely vibes based for a long time at this point. This action (like many others coming out of the Trump administration) adds to the chaos but I tend to doubt it will be the event that causes Wile E. Coyote to look down.

You don't see how?

Well, just watch and wait, and you will see that this will have essentially zero effect on US investment.

It's petty and sad, but nothing ever happens.

Who else is even in the conversation? China? They would never do something like this!
