It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds

That seems naive or not responsive to the comment. If the US government tells Google to shut down all international sites/servers, or it will cease to exist in the US, I don’t think “but the servers aren’t in the US” will really matter.

I also don’t think anyone can count on extra-judicial demands from the current executive branch.

Am I wrong or misunderstanding something?

Then the government of said country will just force the local company to separate from its us parent company. Don’t forget these regions/servers are usually owned by local subsidiaries.

This ^

I feel like people like to fear monger, but cloud businesses won't bend to US requests for anything that resides outside of the US.
