not dumb, slightly ominous in fact, at least for boeing
in wartime the first material controlled and locked down is metals used in war materials
beoing needs titanium or they coudnt build planes. as beoing IS the US air force effectively, this means the US cant build planes as easily
russia needs titanium now more for building there new nukes, and less for trading

Titanium is one of the most abundant elements on Earth. If Russia does not sell RD-180 engines then US will develop its own.
They need import tariffs not export bans. Only idiots and enemies would propose what they have proposed.
