It's a good point but imo not really surprising when the President of the United States essentially threatened to invade Canada and Greenland.
This is classic multipolar politics, trade the two behemoths against each other so they don't roll over one day and just squish you. By alienating Canada and Europe we've handed China a great gift.
It's only getting started. Do you think Europe is going to use American networking equipment when America has shown that it will use its military against Europe? American grid technology?
And what about all those huge pending orders for F35 in ... Denmark and Canada? Etc.
Denmark ordered more in October. Canada talks a lot, but so far has done nothing concrete about reducing their order. You would think they would urgently cancel and get Gripens and/or Rafales.
Wonder what's going on behind the scenes.

Europe is stuck with American tech with no real alternatives in the horizon. Europe doing an independent stack is just wishful thinking.
The alternative is China.
