This is a pretty interesting factor that I’ve seen pop up more often lately in the military enthusiast circles that looks a lot like a demonstration of what’s often called “legal warfare” - “lawfare”

A way in which states combat each other (even allies) using law in various ways in order to interdict or limit services in a whole host of different ways. It’s quite frequent in the US outbound to others and the EU has been doing this in increasing fashion…..
