So first part of your argument is saying it can happen and second part is saying why it won't happen. Yeah I agree it won't happen. And ms sell service wich isn't the same as the fucking lithography that power everything advanced under the sun.
Ps : second time you intervenir on my comment to say I'm right by prefacing I'm wrong. Kinda funny. Waiting for the third time
You either deliberately misunderstand my arguments or really misunderstand them. The companies don't want that of course, but it is not entirely in their control. The EU certainly doesn't want it either. Regarding the US, it really depends. It depends on how much the strongman in DC fears that the other side can actually retaliate. A nuke's value is not that it destroys everything, its value is that it could destroy everything. Russia would not have invaded an Ukraine with nukes, yet Ukraine would likely never used any nukes even if it had them.
Of course ASML is not the only economic nuke Europe has. If the US unleashes economic nukes on the EU by for example forcing Microsoft to block many or most services over night, the first response would be to threaten nuking the USD, with a believable threat scenario, but ASML would be a backup option.
Funny you took ukraine exemple, cause they had nuke. And u will never guess who sat with Russia to give them the guarantee they won't keep their nuke. Anyway whatever you talk about it s far from reality. U could just find one export ban from the ue toward the usa that could help your point a lot dont you think ?
