Dustin Volz — Trump signs into law U.S. government ban on Kaspersky Lab software

This sets a precedence for banning products for national security reasons. It potentially has devastating implications for US tech companies that include backdoors for US intelligence agencies. This probably won't happen immediately but it is bound to happen over time as foreign nations, especially Russia and China, develop domestic capabilities. Being shut out of Russia would not be devastating perhaps, but being shut out of China would.

Foreign countries that the US designates as adversarial are already taking steps to isolate themselves from the US control international financial system that includes dollar hegemony, to counter the Western military alliances led by the US, and to guard against internal subversion aimed at regime change by controlling communications. China and Russia are in the lead on this under the rubric of multipolarism. They view unipolarism as the attempt of the US as in imperial power to impose its will on the rest of the world using hybrid warfare that included economic warfare.
