Depends on where from. Importing from other EU countries just reinforces their union, which includes mutual self defense.

- firesteelrain 2y agoImporting isn't bad in of itself. When a country leans towards relying on another country for energy, then that is generally accepted to be negative towards national security.
- bee_rider 2y agoI don’t think general observations apply in the usual case of extremely close and geographically nearby alliances like the EU. Importing from other EU members has no national security implication because their national security fate is conjoined anyway. Similarly trade between the US and Canada, there’s no future in which we fight each other or don’t fight together in any serious war (Canada even comes along for our bullshit bad idea wars most of the time).
