Its just become harder to stick European heads in the sand.

Is government agencies to. In the UK the NHS uses AWS, courts use Teams.... IT security is just ignored - its only recently that it occurred to the govt to remove Chinese cameras from sensitive sites.

European militaries are heavily dependent on the US too and have a lot of equipment that is reliant on US supplies or can only be used in line with agreements with the US.

I believe there are several non-US awacs systems out there, although the American ones are probably the most common.
