Do I care that somewhere a company or person linked to the item is either an arm manufacturer or runs a country with a "questionable" track record. TBH no.
Because my feeling is if you want to be overly righteous then you wouldn't have anything. People who get silly about you brought it so you're as bad is totally stupid. Because somewhere at sometime the production of everything, or parts of, can be linked to a person, company or country that has done some questionable actions. Either now or in their past.
I mean look at the following. Petrol bad. The price currently so high because other countries don't want to drill their own.
EV is green and better. But all the materials dug up to make them and all the transportation costs of said materials.
There is a reason the UK won't drill more oil is as it would affect the fictional net0 plans. But buy it from another country, have it shipped here and their hands are clean. Same with waste disposal and shipping it to China or Africa to be burnt.
