It's not totally clear they would really try to do this, but there is no world in which US military DNS servers submit to inspection, auditing, and regulation by the EU. This is nothing like regulating commercial service providers. Even where FVEY reciprocity agreements exist, it's only for products, not for equipment and processes. Even where the US government operates facilities in the UK, there are parts of those facilities non-US persons aren't allowed into. Since the UK left, no EU member state is even a part of FVEY.
Granted, DNS is not classified, so those specific restrictions do not apply, but you still can't just go up to the Pentagon unannounced with an EU regulator badge and expect to be let into the building.
- oneplane 6y agoYet the US military wants to inspect the EU's stuff so it seems to be a bit of a one-way thing right now. The US wants to do all sorts of shady stuff to the rest of the world, but as soon as someone wants to do some of that the other way around it suddenly is all sorts of bad.
- kazen44 6y agothis "one way street" is one of the major talking points of many EU politicians in creating a more self sufficient union in terms of military power. It is still a long way to go though.
- finiteseries 6y agoIt’s not a two way street. The Californian defense minister doesn’t exist, and didn’t proclaim last November that “illusions of US strategic autonomy must come to an end” in response to criticism from the Texan president, citing sobering facts like “without the nuclear and conventional capabilities of the E.U., California and America cannot protect themselves.” https://www.politico.eu/article/german-minister-to-macron-eus-dependence-on-us-is-sobering-facts/ https://www.politico.eu/article/german-minister-to-macron-eu...
