I am no procurement expert (looks @plagasse.bsky.social) but if the US is going to put pressure on Canada to purchase American technology, this can't be helping the case? Not everything will be affected, but it shows the risks of dealing with an unpredictable US?

”developments … show that European nations are working with shocking speed to free themselves from dependence on America.” The problem never was that Europeans cannot imagine European security without the US. The problem is that Americans can’t imagine that Europeans can do it.

Please. This is absurd. Europe can certainly deter Russia and defend itself if its focused and determined. Perpetuating a sense of European helplessness may help Rutte bureaucratically but its 1. wrong 2. prevents action. 3. willfully blind: the US ain't coming to defend Europe.

In sum, Europe has little to lose in hitting back hard. The hope here is Europe hits back hard and prompts Trump to deescalate, just as he has done on China. Thus by escalating Europe is also creating a pathway to deescalate this crisis.
