    “naive trust”

    It’s essentially one elite. Building Airbus for independence but not caring about IT doesn’t make sense unless there is nothing to fear.

      “one elite” I bet you my left titty that you personally know somebody who just won’t give up US services no matter what. The EU is filled with people knowingly promote and use US services despite knowing how bad they are.

        There are always useful idiots but they don’t set essential policies for the elite. Whoever holds the EU together doesn’t worry about the US IT dependency even though they should.
