The dominance of the American GPS and its widespread use around the world have been taken for granted by many countries, becoming second nature, and not wanting to know the danger of this system in geopolitics. China was the first victim of this innocent but dangerous system when it was weaponised against China in the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis. The American simply switched off the system when China fired its missiles across Taiwan Island as a show of force, with the missiles losing control. The Chinese then did not have their own GPS and had to operate their missile systems using the American GPS. The Americans thus were able to scuttle the Chinese missile system.
Chinese merchant fleet was also operating under the GPS and were lost at sea when the Americans again switched off the GPS when they desired to cripple the Chinese ships at sea. China was taught a painful lesson and quickly developed the Beidou to take back control of their satellite navigation system and their military defence systems, to be really free and independent from American control and interference.
The Chinese Beidou satellite navigation has been in operation for more than a decade, and many times more superior and accurate than the American GPS...and very much cheaper. However, many countries are still using the GPS when America is their enemy and can switch off the GPS at will. Iran had several bad experiences when the Americans switched off the GPS and rendering the Iranian air defence and missile systems unworkable. This dangerous situation did not make the Iranians any wiser and they continued, unbelieveable, to use the American GPS for their military operation. What a joke! Only recently that the Iranians wise up to this fact and starting to switch to Beidou for their national and security interests. Not sure if this has been implemented, or the Iranians are taking their time to switch to a safe system and not be controlled and at the mercy of the Americans. It is like buying American planes, military aircraft or Boeings with kill switches that can bring down the planes, and still oblivious of the danger, still pretending all is well.
This is classic stupidity has no cure and is an existential threat to national security. The Iranians are not alone. Many Arab and Muslim states are still happily using the American GPS, knowing or pretending not to know that the Americans are their enemies. Can you believe that? And still using Apple iPhones!
Not only the Arabs and Muslims, but Latin America is also using the GPS. Venezuela, America's target number one for invasion and regime change is also using the GPS. Hahahah, I almost fell out of my chair knowing this. And the Americans are amassing a big task force to invade Venezuela. And Venezuela just woke up to this danger, but still taking its own time to switch to Beidou. Would it be in time or Venezuela would have been invaded and taken over by the Americans before the switch takes place.
Stupidity has no cure is a very dangerous sickness infecting the Global South countries. Many are still using the American controlled GPS and buying American aircraft with kill switches thinking that they are safe, or praying that they will function when used.
