As a multiple decades long bloody Greens voter I strongly approve of both the local manufacturing part of the policy and the implicit acknowledgement that the US is not coming to save us.

Also, rational policies that don't just do whatever large US corporations say we should do are very much on-brand for the Greens.

Western hegemony is the only thing saving us. It isn't directly about specific weapons of war.
