Additionally it isn't that we have a clean slate in Germany (as an example) ourselves [1].

We can't trust any vendors. Be it soft- or hardware. Be it cloud. At least not when thinking about state level actors.

Nations need to think, as you said, about propper vendor mix and risk assessment.

It was mainly operated by BND, a german intelligence agency. GCHQ and NSA were also involved.
