Seems like the EU has decided to pull away from the US. As has Canada and frankly, a lot of the rest of the world.

Pulling away by investing billions in the US economy and buying more US products and services?

You have a weird definition of pulling away.

  • If you review the stipulations of the "deals" and read any of the analysis, these are stop-gaps.

    New production commitments, military commitments, pulling away from US big tech.

    No matter what happens, the damage has been done. It's picking up momentum seemingly every day.

    And they seem more than happy to take our scientific researchers.

    • >pulling away from US big tech

      Stock price says otherwise. Probably because replacing MS Office with Libre Office doesn't really mean much while still running your digital infrastructure on US services, US chips and US phones. Lemme know when EU creates its own You Tube.

      >And they seem more than happy to take our scientific researchers.

      Who's taking who's researchers? Got any examples. From what I saw Linus Torvalds is still in US.
