Knapp 500 Mio. Euro alleine an Mitteln der Bundesebene fließen jährlich an Microsoft. Welche Wertschöpfung und Innovation man damit in Deutschland auslösen würde, wenn in Open Source und europäische Cloud investiert würde. Von digitaler Souveränität ganz zu schweigen

Jake Broe thinks the US veto on Storm Shaddow is due to the NATO structure of Supreme Allied Command reporting to the US. I share it here for completeness but no way.
There is no way the UK government would be dictated to on policy by a foreign unelected civil servant. It’s laughable. The UK may trade the policy for something else or more likely honour a legal framework, as law is basically a core industry of the UK.
I hold that most likely, US tech is in the kill chain for this missile so the UK respects the US right to veto.
