Based on the hyperventilating I've seen on the internet over the last few days, a lot of people have the wrong idea about this bill and think it applies broadly to all companies and all people. It does not. It only applies to the specific countries above, with said list capable of being amended by the Secretary of Commerce through a 180 day review process.
If you are just going to be against the US government all the time, that's a suicide pact since we Americans have real enemies in the form of enemy nations like China.
Every people's true enemy is their own government.
I don't trust the US government to act in the best interests of it's people and allies
I trust MORE giving all us citizens access and opportunity to obtain ALL hardware the military restricts to itself. I'd be more welcoming of a band of Florida men coming to my aid with reaper drones, A-10 Warthogs and tanks than relying on the US government to provide aid.
