Obviously. Any European nation that doesn't treat America and companies ultimately under US political control a strategic risk would have to be asleep at the wheel. "Perfidious" is the word.
Palantir doubly so, since it has close ties to the current regime. (No, this is not a political discussion - it's simply about proximity to power, and the interests of said power)
Agreed, though the nuclear issue still has to be solved. IMO the EU needs a nuclear arsenal. Any future dictator from the east will keep on probing otherwise.
But, even IF the US-led over-dominance would be maintained, I really don't understand why my taxes paid, go into US companies. This model really does not work anymore after the USA allied with Russia (de-facto, if you listen to the orange king).
Palantir is active in Ukraine though. I understand the point
of view of Ukraine, mind you, but I fail to see why european
money goes into US mega-corporations. That seems incredibly
stupid and short-sighted. Germany in particular has no real
consistent strategy here. I don't quite like Macron, but a
ton of criticism pertaining to Germay is correct. Quo vadis,
Germany? Make up your mind.

The US-European alliance is on its deathbed.

Unless you don't really have a choice, like Ukraine. It's like being in an abusive relationship they can't (yet) get out of.
Interesting times with regards to geopolitics.
