In that vein Europe should have 0% trust in any US software or hardware. We are not that much friends anymore, in fact US is currently actively helping our existential enemy and subverting us.
Remember of scandal with US spying directly all European top politicians? This was in quiet times compared to now.
To paraphrase you, terrible things have been done by good actors. You cannot divorce state from its other actions in same area neither. I don't think I need to bring up numerous fuckups of US 'defense' and secret services that literally killed tens of millions civilians in past 100 years across whole globe, with very little to show for and claim 'it was worth it because we achieved XYZ'.
- shakna 2y agoAs of now? I am making noise with my government on the US. The nation has dismantled their protections, they have an unhinged preacher of hatred in the White House, and he has a proven record of breaking international agreements. Starlink and Tesla are security concerns. The US' current attitudes suggest that they would very much like to see world war three. And would like to ally with Russia to make it happen. Recklessly endangering international agreements will not be without consequences.
