Given this thread, imagine a complete rupture of relations between US and EU such that US orders US companies to stop supplying hardware or services to EU.

In this scenario, I don't think it is correct to consider normal business relations, rather "is it *materially* possible?"

It’s such ridiculous thing to suggest as a trigger, but here we are.

      (Along with several other ridiculous hills simultaneously, stretching the metaphor to breaking point).
