Sure, you didn't explicitly say either. Apologies for that. But from my point of view, you implied it. I recognize it's a fuzzy area. But using 100% US gear does imply some acceptance of blindness. We (US govt) are pretty up front about our manipulation.

No apologies necessary, just trying to clarify - that was an unintentional implication.

I do not even want the UK to use 100% US gear, never mind think they strategically should use 100% US gear. My argument is only that becoming reliant (whether defined as a critical 1% of the network or the entire 100% of the network) upon the US is not analogous to the same level of reliance upon the CCP - at least from the perspective of the UK.
