So now we can add “directly capturing a sovereign leader” to the list of crap the US has done. So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something? Think it’ll be significant or something mundane?
Seeing how the EU is still doing business with Russian while it’s at war with Ukraine it’s hard to imagine such a scenario. I didn’t run the numbers but AFAIK the EU has no realistic alternative for a lot of things, starting with energy again all the way to high-end chips (CPU and GPU) and services, including software. There could be theoretical alternatives, e.g. FLOSS software and their services on lower-end chips but that would require some pretty fundamental changes.
