#1 Maybe threatening to destroy the ground control installations as well would get their attention.

#2 No need to threaten. Just do do the job that needs to be done at the appropriate time. The EU needs to learn that their projects with our potential adversaries do not come without risk. They apparently did not learn the lesson in Iraq.

EU delegate in London: "We will not deactivate the Galileo system if used by a party hostile to you."

U.S delegate in London: "No problem. We'll destroy it if we have to. Next subject?"

#5 A senior European delegate at the London conference said his US counterparts reacted to the EU position "calmly"

If used by a party hostile to the US, you can deactivate it or we can deactivate it. If you deactivate it, it will be able to turn on again. If we deactivate it, it will not turn on again. Take your choice.

[note to self, better develop inertial guidance systems on the head of a pin, in case they bump of f our GPS system.]
