I've been somewhat in favor of more protectionist movements in the US myself... maybe not everything the way Trump is executing, but a lot of the meaning behind it. I'm more than happy to see other countries do more of the same, in this case the Netherlands.
There's more to domestic security than just the military... COVID should have been a shining example of why domestic supplies of anything that can be considered essential infrastructure should never be zero... I'd say it shouldn't ever be less than 50 percent if at all possible.
I'll give more leeway for open source software that runs essential infrastructure, as that can be forked and domesticated if necessary... and there should be some infrastructure and planning to support that.
While not every country can operate as independently as larger countries like the US, there should definitely be an eye towards domestic supply, infrastructure and independence that I think too many have fallen into a globalist mindset that detracts in a lot of ways and belies human nature in favor of a few elites.
