The counterargument for this runs like this: GPS has become way too
much of a factor in common life and in the global economy that any US
president could ever afford to switch it off or degrade it much. An
Iranian nuke hitting the White House due to navigation signals
provided by an 80 dollar Etrex GPS might change that view in a hurry,
however.

The view would quickly be forced back. Terrorists use telephones, but
that doesn't mean that any country can afford to shut off telephone
service. GPS is moving in the same direction.

No, it isn't, fjukktard

This is the system that the EU put together to compete with the U.S.
GPS system, right? Did we ever find out why they don't want to use the
U.S. system?

Nope, wrong, again.
